Bottom post of the previous page:

Shit take after shit take. You have a personal beef with McVay for whatever reason. Cool. Be a man for once and take that up with him. Hes a proven Head Coach. Up until last year, Shula has never been a Coordinator. And you want a dude, who until last year, didn't have any experience as a Coordinator, to be the Head Coach of a team, all because the proven Head Coach, who's been to two SuperBowls mind you and won one, has a coaching style YOU don't like? And how does this make any kind of sense? People like YOU deserve to be called out for stupidity.

Felix no one in a forum like this is going to have the opportunity to “take it up” in person with McVay. You know that…….

Youre right. Sorry for being so agitated lately. I've been horribly sick for the last week or so, and dealing with dumb people just sets me off.

Stafford:
After becoming the 10th quarterback in NFL history to reach the 60,000-yard mark in Week 1, he accomplished an even rarer feat in Week 2, becoming the fifth quarterback in NFL history to pass for 15,000 yards with multiple teams.
The other quarterbacks who have achieved this are Jared Goff (Rams and Lions), Kirk Cousins (Washington and Minnesota), Peyton Manning (Indianapolis and Denver) and Carson Palmer (Cincinnati and Arizona). The fact that Goff and Stafford, who were traded for each other, have both reached 15,000 yards with their new teams is remarkable.

Stafford can continue moving his name up the record books this year, as he'll pass at least four quarterbacks on the all-time passing yards list if he throws for another 3,740 yards in 2025. He's also just one passing touchdown behind Matt Ryan, who is ninth all-time in the statistic.

I said at "some point" putty head.

I like Shulas coaching style more so than McVays..... Sorry if you can't handle that.

That's fine. You have to admit tho that Shula's observable coaching sample size is dwarfed by McVay's. But yeah Shula seems very dialed-in with this roster.

But again the comparison - if both became available, who would be more coveted around the League? Who's coaching has impacted the League more? In fact, what NFL coach has impacted other coaching staffs more than McVay?

Weren't you the one crying for your mommy when someone called you a name? There goes that card Karen! Try playing it again...

Very few QB’s could have made this throw.

I still don't see a window...lol.

I was listening to NFL Sirius this morning. They were saying a 3 yard separation in the NFL means the receiver is wide open. A 2 yard separation is open. I think I saw 8 inches in the video above. (I am not talking about the videos Delmar watches.)

He has the skill of a MLB infielder. Such confidence too (SEE: gunslinger). Likely an even more impressive catch - not all throws like that are completed obviously, but Stafford is successful enough to certainly be labelled elite. Love watching him...

You are good from where I sit. As long as I stay out of game day thread lol………..

[Rampager66]

No mom needed..... I don't cry to moderators either.

Just some do name calling quite often here, which is fine by me.... If you call someone stupid, you should expect the favor in return... I was just nicer about it in the case you have illustrated.... I do like how you only illustrate only one side of it... very lawyer like of you.

I'll admit calling someone a "putty head" isn't nice and for that I apologize.

Show me where YOU illustrate both sides of it, Matlock? And you did cry to the mod. You cried out to him more than once openly in posts that someone hurt your widdow feewings calling you a name. You cry about it in this very thread Karen, ya f'n hypocrite. Yypical of you that YOU'VE decided YOU were "Nicer" when YOU did it to someone else.

[Rampager66]

Oh brother..... talk about about itty bitty feelings....

I stand by my statements about McVay... end of story... And hopefully his foot heels.

Fuck your "Itty bitty feelings". And stand by whatever worthless BS you like. Just stop crying when you get the responses you came for if you can't handle it or compete!

[NorCal RF]

Maybe just don't feel the need that someone always has to share your point of view.... Sometimes I get the feeling that McVay is the father of or family member of some of the posters here.... god I hope not, and if so I apologize for criticizing someone's family member here.

McVay gets three Super Bowl victories, I'll put him up there with other coaches that have won three or more.... And so far this season he's off to a great start.

Here is the thing. No one is putting him at Belichik, Noll, Walsh, or Gibbs level in here. No one. And one can make a sensible comment that without Brady what has Belichik done. That being said……………

McVay in many people’s opinion, Ram fans, this forum, those in the league like the recent GM pole, national media, etc do place him right now at the top in regards to if you need a NFL coach today who would you hire. And with warrant and facts. Why? His resume as a HC which we all know. His entire resume not what one chooses to pick out to make their point appear valid. Why? Because many remember what this team was from when Martz left to when McVay was hired. What was that period? A team setting all time records in futility and was the laughing stock of the league. Since McVay was hired? A team that has gained respect again from all that I’ve already mentioned who has had this team in contention to get into the playoffs all but one year and once in has had a chance to get in and win a SB. McVay more so than anyone in this organization, probably not even close, gets that credit.

This is why so many of us in here strongly argue when someone feels the need to debate his status in the league. Or when one nitpicks a play call or a singular game. He more so than anyone has made watching and being a fan of this team enjoyable again.

[NorCal RF]

And in regards to Shula brasil said it best:

“ McVay has no input on the defensive game plan? Do you understand that McVay is a bit of a control freak (in a good way) and he won’t just stand aside and let the DC do whatever he wants? He is the HEAD COACH. If the defense is playing well , you can bet that is a plan that the DC and Mcvay created TOGETHER.”

[NorCal RF]

Norcal

I get it and I respect your overview and your cohesive response... makes total sense to me. As some think Roberts (Dodgers) is a terrible manager which I don't agree with, I think he's right there with Lasorda, but I can understand their frustration. For me the jury is still out on McVay that he's great football head coach. And I appreciate him coming out publicly in how he didn't handle Goff situation great, shows that he's good person.

Aside from all of that, I see measurable improvement in McVays coaching approach this season, especially in areas where the Rams offense struggled last season. The first two games have been spot on. I hope he keeps moving in the same direction... And with that I don't expect the Rams to go 17-0.... But I can always hope.

For the first time I appreciate your reply back. And I do agree with you on the Roberts comment.

Measurable improvement though? Sure he has gotten better in game day management and other responsibilities of a HC since 2017. That being said IMO he has been damn good since the first day they hired him……..

[NorCal RF]

And in regards to Shula brasil said it best:

“ McVay has no input on the defensive game plan? Do you understand that McVay is a bit of a control freak (in a good way) and he won’t just stand aside and let the DC do whatever he wants? He is the HEAD COACH. If the defense is playing well , you can bet that is a plan that the DC and Mcvay created TOGETHER.”

He's spot on about that one: Any head coach would have their finger in all aspects of the game plan, but I highly doubt Shula has little to any input into the offense. However, if the defense is not playing well, that would be on Shula and or the player.

Shula yes probably has no input on the offense. But McVay has said in the past that he does seek out the opinion of his DC on what they see may work against the D they are about ready to play.

DC absolutely will get the heat first on bad play of his D. Hell we saw it in here, unwarranted IMO, with him his first year. But make no mistake the HC hears it to and is held responsible by all.

[Truth]

And it’s again a SYFH moment when we make stats so damn important but we ignore the most important stat of them all SB wins. Other than Reid who on that list has more?

So is Mike Tomlin a better coach than Jim Harbaugh? Afterall Tomlin has a ring, and Jim Harbaugh doesn’t.

Is Doug Pederson a better coach than Dan Campbell or Kyle Shanahan?

Is Mike McCarthy a better coach than every coach that has never won a Super Bowl?

Bruce Arians has a Super Bowl ring. Did you look at him as a top 3 NFL coach after winning with the Bucs?

[Truth]

I clearly missed that the Rams have a dynasty going. You’d think they must be the:

Tom Brady Patriots
Steph Curry Warriors
Phil Jackson Bulls/Lakers
Andy Reid Chiefs

Its insane. I thought ROD was full of cheeeleaders. This place is quickly becoming that.

And go to most Dodger boards. Now that is an organization that has had consistent dynasty level results since 2013. They still get criticized when they screw up or make a poor signing,

But McSnead are the best ever, best currently in the NFL?

Yeah…k.

[NorCal RF]

Someone continues to not see that 95% of those in here are yawning at his nonsense………

Now we are bringing up past HC’s not even in the NFL picture anymore to try to make a point that no one is listening to anymore. Sad………

Did anyone in here mention a ‘Rams dynasty”? Anyone? Again made up BS…………….

And then he knocks a good Ram site, I’ve gone in their many of times to get updated info on this team without ever posting or joining, because those in there do a good job staying current. Any bet he was told to take a hike with his BS at some point in that forum………

[Truth]

I just pointed out Mike Tomlin. Is he better than Jim Harbaugh, Dan Campbell, Matt LeFleur, Kyle Shanahan?

What’s the difference between Tomlin and McVay? Or even further…the Steelers and the Rams? Are they each top 3 organizations in the NFL?

[GlendoraRam]

What coach do the players respect the most?

[NorCal RF]

Oh I dont know. Doesn’t Tomlin have a 18 straight winning season streak, never had a losing season ever in the NFL as a HC, along with his ring………

Seriously you are beyond embarrassing yourself. Stop for your sake. Stop for this forums sake…………..

The Rams are the 2nd Highest valued NFL Franchise behind only the Cowboys. Steelers Market is too small.

Lol, you’re a joke. Tomlin’s been a head coach since 2007 — that’s 18 damn years. In all that time, he’s managed 2 Super Bowl trips and 1 Lombardi. McVay already matched that in less than half the time — just 8 years. That’s the difference, and it’s not even close. Lol.

Over the last decade, McVay’s been doing work while Tomlin’s been doing nothing. For you to call them the same, McVay would have to waste the next 10 years accomplishing jack shit

Are you not capable of one good take?

I could be wrong brasil but I think he is saying that Tomlin n McVay are the same as in inferior to Harbough, Campbell , n Shanahan……….

Impossible. No he can’t. It’s why I’ve wondered are we actually replying back to someone trolling……..

[NorCal RF]

Sometimes one’s opinion is so bad that it needs to be kept to oneself n not heard……….

Seeing any part of what he has said the past 2 weeks has me back questioning that person………

There is no gray area here. His take is as bad as it gets. We have read all of the replies correct that aren’t mine right?

[NorCal RF]

I don't think he's trolling.... it's just an opinion.... I don't agree with some of it, but I can see where he's coming from in his assessment.

Tomlin when I had the chance to watch the Steelers, he baffles me with his time management, but he is a proven winner, and he's had the luxury of having the same QB for some 16 odd years.... that really helps, but if you have a solid QB for that long you should have more trophies...

Campbell is like watching a high school coach at times... His bad habit for constantly going for it on 4th down and going for 2-point conversions is cringy. But he seems to do well with young players and cast offs, but I couldn't watch him every Sunday.... I would be replacing my TV on a regular basis.

Shanahan seems over emotional and knee jerkish (kinda like McVay), but I don't like him for the fact that he's 49er... So my opinion of him is subjective, but the fucker does seem to get his team well prepared for us.

Harbough is a good coach and comes more from the old school of things, but again I don't watch him enough but he appears to be a cool dude.

As for McVay, I can see measurable improvement and it appears he's starting to come down to earth and not believing everything his cult following that he can do no wrong. I think his cut throat mentality with younger players has gotten better and seems more humble... He used to say it, but I think it's more genuine now. I've been able to get over some things with him like when he threaten to retire to only get a bigger pay check.... I can see a player doing that but a head coach???... to me that just came off lame and his focus was on him and not how to get a second ring. And of course how he dealt with Goff, which to me was off the charts unprofessional. But all that aside, McVay looks like he's a more polished coach these days, and the team is benefiting from that.

I’m glad you are starting to approve McVay. Actually I am not. Sorry your entire last paragraph has me back to SMFH…….

Measurable improvement. LMAO. Sorry wow.

No he's not,...cmon now

How do you get this place to grow if the same five members that keep hammering on "less informed" Rams fans, or an opinion that differs from yours but could have some merit. So what if the information being presented doesn't align with your thought process.... If this is a private forum and all members must all think alike, then put up a banner up that states, "This Forum Is For Like Minded Ram Fans Only" so that when you post something I'll give you thumbs up or just not respond if I don't 100% agree, and let you guys bask in your pontification without having your blood pressure go through the roof in having to deal with my "stupidity."

Maybe I haven't been here long enough to understand the dynamics and I'm misinterpreting things, but that's how this place comes off from time to time.

There are no dynamics. Take the time and read the back n forth in here and you will see there is a ton of disagreement. But rational disagreement with facts to support one’s position as well as an ending that is most of the time one of mutual understanding.

But with him well take the time to read his constant BS that goes back a while. Just constant hate with takes of you are all wrong and I’m the only one right. Why the hell do you think he has the forum name that he has. There is no reasonable conversation with him ever in here. And as I’ve done already this week I’ll refer back to what brasil said about such posters because he was spot on.

And information not aligning? Really? He picks what he chooses to try to validate a point while leaving out the entire information because if he included all it would shoot the hell what he is saying. Hell he had to last night bring up retired coaches just to justify in his mind his BS. Worst type of posters sorry.

[FelixTheStonerCat]

We all cherry pick.... Anywhoo

Stay frosty and GO RAMS!!!

You do it to cause problems tho. You have a personal dislike for the best head coach we've had since dick vermeil. And for what?

[DelMar]

Alright, I cant take it anymore... thats a bit much Truth, no one said those things. No one said dynasty. Now you're just reaching. I have stayed out of this for the most part, but Ill just say what I think a lot of us are thinking in here...

Of course its fine to have one owns opinions, but to me, it seems like some are seeing the cup half full and you and that other poster are seeing the cup half empty.

Many of us are hard on McVay when he's making stupid calls, but you seem to just keep trying to bury him, therefore it does not make a lot of sense. I have seen NorCal a numbers of times call Sean out...

IMO, there are 5-6 NFL coaches that are a top tier. McVay is one of them. Some coaches have good days and others, bad... but the bottomline is, McVay is the winningest coach in Rams history. We win every season w him at the helm. His players love him and it shows (unless you are a me and not we player, or you are lazy, then those dudes get shipped off or cut).

No one can argue with what he has created in Los Angeles... No one.

Because if you do, you look like a complete moron. Not saying thats you or your mini me (Duane), but give credit where credit is due. Ya know...

Last thing, I am glad to be a cheerleader for my team and OUR coach. I am very objective as you well know, when Sean is blowing it, I call him out... but what we seem to not understand in this group is that we just need to let the ENTIRE game play out. Sean tries different things, they dont work... so at least he is going in at halftime now and making the proper adjustments (unlike how he was in the first few seasons, was not good at adjusting at the half's).

Some times you just need to let the man cook... because you know what, Truth... he's a pretty damn GOOD chef.

[NorCal RF]

We all do not cherry pick in here. In fact its a forum that quite often copies and posts in here entire at that moment comments about this team from rather reliable national sources.

This is accurate. Frustrating as hell that some make comments that are from just not being in here or simply don’t remember. I more than once last year questioned McVay’s play calling, especially in the RZ. Doesn’t mean he should be replaced like some were calling for his head last year after starting 1-4. Why? Again see post Martz to McVay’s hire. Hell see pre Vermeil. The 2nd go around with Knox and Rich Brooks was a damn blast wasn’t it…………..

“ Last thing, I am glad to be a cheerleader for my teaming out coach.”

And this. Damn glad. Call me a homer also. Don’t give a bleep. I recognize when one individual has completely turned around my team and recognize what a bleep show that team was prior to his arrival. Doesn’t mean you can’t critique him which some use as a crutch to validate their BS. But it does mean he has one hell of a long rope before he has warrant some of the unwarranted negative stuff, yes you bet my damn opinion, that a few continue to say about him.

I’m being “frosty” again DM. What a damn joke…………..

[Rampager66]

The whole board was pissed with Sean, Staff, Raheem, the Defense.. ST's ... the whole team at some point last year.
Tweedle dee and tweedle dum weren't around but throw BS out anyways. They sound like the same person to me.

[GlendoraRam]

There are times we all get upset. But, we quickly get over it. The constant, irrational badgering is what bugs me
