Chisoxfn Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 09:33 AM) McVay went on Rich Eisens show and talked about how he spent time in the interview process breaking down film with Goff and showing how he could help. That was essentially the reason he was hired. https://247sports.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/...w-with-74900039 That is different then him being all in on Goff (which I thought you were implying). I agree that they tried to work with him. The Rams were sold on McVay because of just how electric he was. Supposedly he blew everyone away and his film sessions, etc, were just super impressive with what he said he brought. It wans't that they were convinced 100% he could turn Goff into a star...it was that they thought he was going to be the guy who could ultimately turn the right QB into a star (turns out Goff was that guy).

I don't think we are disagreeing, but Nagy being familiar with Trubisky will allow him to show off exactly what he would do to take him to next level. Others can do that by looking at film too, but everyone is busy with playoffs, so it's a huge help for him. For good or bad, "how will you handle trubisky" will be the biggest question each of these guys need to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 i just cant help but think about McDaniels going to denver, getting the job, and immediately deciding to launch what was then a third year pro bowl QB after he got the job. Could you imagine if that happened in Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine if that happened in Chicago? He did draft Tebow though. So it wasn't a complete disaster. He only had to trade the Broncos 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks to get him. That is nothing.

bmags Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 And just to pile on again, he succeeded pat shurmur as OC of a pretty good rams offense and they then became the worst offense in the league. That was a horrendous run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 10:54 AM) Saw this on twitter when walking and lost it now. I hate Kaplan, but he tweeted out that the Chiefs were in love with Trubisky pre-draft, especially Nagy. And Nagy has kept in touch with Trubs. That could end up being big. Not just him. Andy Reid and the org loved him coming out. I have Nagy in my top 3, so this pleases me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
