Still excited about McVay?

[Loyal]

I've never been more excited, actually.

You and Carson Wentz are stoked for McVay!

 

[HitStick]

We got Robert Quinn. So I'm okay with it.

While I do love Quinn, Julio has a chance to make it to the hall of fame if he keeps it up.

Quinn had a good three year stretch, but injuries and refs not calling holding have really hampered his effectiveness.

I'd take Julio over Quinn every day of the week and twice on game day. Had we landed Jones, Bradford may have actually become what he was drafted to be. Instead he was murdered behind our line while waiting for scrubs to get open.

Wow. A "McVay is a bust" thread already..... W. Inthemothereffing F.

I don't think Julio makes any difference with Sam. Sam's career was ruined (here) by the ACL tears happening in consecutive years. Julio doesn't solve that problem.

I'd have loved to have Julio, but trading up for him would have cost us a lot of draft capital. I'm happy with Quinn.

There are a great many picks that we can lament. IMO, that's not one of them.

To some folks whatever decision the Rams make...whether it be hirings, firings, drafting, FA, personnel, inactives, gameplanning, playcalling, uniform choices, location of practice facility, where they sleep...it was the wrong thing to do.

These types fans have been beaten into bitter submission due to all the losing IMO. It's understandable to a certain point, but when that's the only tune you can sing it gets old real quick on a message board.

I never was excited.

Your avatar indicates you are always excited.

I'm crying Deveany didn't have the huevos to trade up for Julio.

Must be nice to have a WR that can be held, catch a ball, and break two tackles on his way for a 73 yard touchdown.

Shoot. I'll take one that can catch.

McVay got a top 3 offense out of a team that's only slightly over half as talented as the Falcons.

Wasn't Snead behind the trade up for Jones when he was with Atlanta? It's crazy, Falcons trade up and get Jones, Rams trade up and get Austin.

Fans like that need to step away from the game for a while or at least stop taking it so damn seriously. This is the fan equivalent of burnout - somewhat analogous to Dickie V's famous burnout as a coach but much more negative. This type of fan does no one any good, especially himself|herself, by breathing negativity into everything related to the team.

 

[Mr. Walker]

Well yeah...Not sure how your opinion could have changed this quickly. Atlanta is a team that has a quarterback that is playing at an All-World level right now.

I wanted Shanahan to be the Rams coach, as many of you know. Another poster, elsewhere brought up these stats....the Rams crap show offense scored ten points on the Giants, with 345 yards of offense, 20 first downs, and TOP of 35 minutes, and only lost because of Keenum's four picks.

McVay's offense, against the same team and in a do or die end of season game scored 10 points with 16 first downs and TOP of 24:08, at home.


Makes me wonder, especially after watching Atlanta route a pretty good Packers defense in a do or die situation.

After dropping 403 yards and 29 points on the Giants in New York in a win earlier in the season.

They had a chance to win that game. Cousins threw two bad interceptions in the 2nd half of that game.

At the end of the day, there's so much more to being a great head coach than being a great coordinator.

I'm very excited. Fisher, Williams and what's his name are all gone, plus all the other dead weight holding the Rams back. That's a great offseason already. Replaced by much better, MUCH BETTER, coaches so far.

What's not to be excited about?

Hindsight is a peculiar thing - most Rams fans were excited that they went and got an offensive weapon - people forget that most scouting reports had him as "...might be the most explosive player I've ever seen in my life..."

Used correctly I think Tavon steps up big style this year. Julio Jones is a great WR, don't get me wrong, but we can't use hindsight when it comes to draft picking

Oh, i'm not. I'm just observing the two trade ups for 1st round WR's by Snead. I totally agree about hindsight drafting, nothing irks me more than the "we could've had.." line.

Imagine what Tavon could do on the Falcons offense!

Imagine what Tavon could do on the Falcons offense!

He would definitely benefit from having a good/great offense around him, but he had his share of struggles this season.

 

[dieterbrock]

Rams haven't won a game with McVay yet! What a bust!!
And none of his Rams drafted players are even in the league!
What were we thinking?

 

[thirteen28]

At the beginning of the process, McVay wasn't at the top of my list, but now?
