Tall McVay, Long May He Reign

That McVay coaching tree is more than a bit skewed when they just happened to fall into situations that include Burrow, Rodgers,  Herbert and healthy cap situations. O'Connell is probably going to be looking for a bridge QB, and figuring out how to rework a defense with overpaid, injured or aging players. Gonna be interesting around here if/when we're at 5-7 wins next yr. 

You're spot on; McVay and his tree have been blessed with some awful good QB'ing.

That said, the founding father got it pretty much done with Goff, at least at first. When the ceiling became obvious with Goff, they did something about it. 

Now I dont like much on how the Rams are currently put together (cap wise and draft pick wise), but I do like how they said we gotta get better at QB and made a move to do it. That took Kahuna's 

My hope is that KC re-negotiates and becomes a bridge for a few years. And this new brain-trust figures out the QB of tomorrow far better than RS ever could.

If it's just about falling in with a QB, why is Patricia no longer in Detroit? Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati? Mike Sherman in GB? O'Brien in Houston?

Patricia had Stafford
Lewis had Palmer
Sherman had Rodgers
O'Brien had Watson

You can't just roll the ball out there and win.

One thing that we'll for sure have is a coach who has some Kirk knowledge.  He'll either know he can build an offense around him or he'll know he needs someone else.

Uh oh.  Sounds like Zimmer 2.0 with the establishing the run comment.  Should we be afraid?

This.

Kudos to them for recognizing his limitations, not getting stuck investing in someone who wasn't going to get you there.  Then not vocalizing it, but trading him when he had some value left.

This might be why Darren Wolfson is predicting the Vikings trade Kirk. He's usually spot on with his analysis and predictions.

I'm told the Vikings' interviews with Kevin O'Connell were "sensational." He impressed with his depth of knowledge of the game. O'Connell won the job.

The Rams lined up in 11 personnel 85 % of the time last year, compared to the Vikings who only lined up in it 47 % of the time. But the Rams actually ran the ball in 11 personnel 37 %of the time, more than the Vikings (27 %). The Rams successful run % was 52%. Vikings was 45 %.
