I'm THRILLED.
McVay's BY FAR the best fit. BAR NONE.
Shanahan is a fantastic OC, but nothing I've seen changes anything for me that he would be the best fit for the Rams as our HC.
He wouldn't be bringing the best DC in all of football.
He wouldn't have nearly as good an overall staff.
He doesn't have the presence that McVay does.
He won't inspire our rookies/young players like McVay will.
Shanahan has done well, but let's not dismiss how important the structure of Dan Quinn's is.
From a pattern perspective, I have significant doubts that Shanahan succeeds without that structure especially with the ownership situation in SF.
But even here, McVay will always be a package deal....at the very least McVay and Philips.
It'll be very interesting to see who Shanahan can get as his DC and fill out his defensive staff.
So, yeah. I'm excited. More than excited. Thrilled. Giddy, even.
Atlanta dropping 50-burgers on GB and in the Super Bowl won't change a thing for me in that respect.
