So it was horrific to call plays where Aiyuk was wide open and didn't get the ball?
Mcvay can win the big game. But not Shanahan.
McVay's players made plays when they had to. Shanahan's players didn't. McVay was an idiot in our game but his stars made more plays. Dude made terrible challenges, s**t timeouts and got lucky our guys didn't execute. That's how it goes sometimes.
And while I'm not a tin foil hat guy…sometimes calls or no calls can swing a game and suddenly one coach looks like a chump and "can't win the big one" and another won.
Doesn't that tell you how bad of a HC Shanny10 is ?
you said it yourself... McVay was an idiot.... and KS10 still couldn't win the game..
Honestly mcvay is hands down better than shanahan. He has never had a losing season since starting as a head coach been to two Superbowls and won one. And he had Goff and he still had winning seasons.
It's blind homerism on that debate.
Now I will say that I think shanahan may be better than Carroll. Wilson is just that good that he can make up for their constant terrible drafting and boneheaded plays. I'm not sure Carroll can hack it anymore.
Both shanahan and mcvay have things to learn. Shanahan has Improved on his poor clock management but sometimes he gets really uncreative with play calling.
Mcvay needs to quite wasting timeouts on dumb challenges.
He's better at scheming guys open. Kupp basically was unstoppable in the playoffs even getting double teams and teams knowing they had to stop him. Mcvay was able to scheme him open.
One thing to consider about the overall record between the two. The L.A. team that McVay took over was a lot closer to what we were when Jim Harbaugh took over, a team with good amount of pieces already there, and about take off. That in no way was a ground up rebuild. The other thing is just a change of philosophy acquiring players. The Rams morgage their (eventual) future for established vets. While we take more of a draft and develop position. Theoretically the draft and develop approach keeps your competitve window open longer, while an approach like the Rams you find yourself with a bunch of guys who are down to their last 5-7 years of playing. It will be interesting to see how long the Rams can keep it going, but eventually that roster is going to get old and it may happen quickly (between 2-3 years. Honestly if the roles were reversed and eash team hired the other coach in 2017 I'm not sure each teams outcomes would have been much different from where they are now.
