Motown Bombers

It doesn't absolve McVay for his handling of Goff. Two years after committing a huge contract to Goff and confirming he is your franchise QB, McVay broke him and ran him out of town. Even if you didn't believe peak Goff was good enough to win a Super Bowl, McVay made it to where Goff had no value. I disagree that the only way for the Rams to have short term success was to mortgage their future and run Goff out of town. They could have had short term success and set themselves up better for the future.

I don't know if this means they are keeping Fields or not. They may want a different coordinator for Williams or they may think they saw enough from Fields that they want a better OC.

Bears fired Luke Getsy.

I remember when I used to get shot down by bringing up Goff led a team to a Super Bowl. It was because of McVay and Todd Gurley! Weird how the Rams going to the Super Bowl in 2018 had nothing to do with Goff and was in spite of him but Stafford, who won nothing in Detroit, is suddenly the whole reason they won a Super Bowl and not OBJ or Von Miller.

I feel like they should delay the parade until February and have a joint one with the Lions in Detroit.

It was like a year ago where the Texans looked like they were Carolina level bad and incompetent. Maybe they knew what they were doing all along.

The Rams didn't do very well. Goff and Stafford have been a wash. The Lions got multiple 1st round picks and nearly $20 million in cap savings.

Imagine having Nacua, Williams, and multiple 1st round picks and millions in cap space.

At the time, Goff was the youngest QB ever to win an NFC Championship. They wouldn't have won a Super Bowl with Goff. That's because of McVay and not Goff. The fact is the Lions have gotten more out of Goff than the great McVay. Zac Taylor was the QB coach in 17 and 18 which were Goff's best years with the Rams. Taylor goes to Cincinnati and McVay becomes the defacto QB coach. That's when everything went downhill. As McVay became more involved, Goff got worse. Instead of being a good coach and getting the most out of his QB, the QB that he signed to a massive extension, he sends him out of town. The Lions get a QB that McVay has broken. He struggles in his first year. Dan Campbell takes over as play caller and essentially QB coach and actually coaches him up and Goff has been a different QB ever since. If McVay had done what Campbell did, they would have had a younger version of Stafford, more cap space to add to the roster, and more draft picks to add to the roster.

They also didn't win the Super Bowl (they won plenty with Goff) without OBJ, Von Miller, Bobby Wagner and a healthy Wintworth. Saying Stafford is the sole reason for their Super Bowl is speculation.

I think this is foolish logic. There isn't evidence that they couldn't have won without Stafford. McVay didn't get the most out of Goff. If he was a better coach, they could have won it with Goff, had extra cap space, and had multiple first round picks to add talent to the roster. Maybe the Rams don't win it in 2021 but the next year and set up themselves up better for the future.

Good thing Monty Williams got the bag because he is never getting a head coaching job again.

Not only did the Lions get the younger of these identical players, but they also got multiple 1st round picks and a 3rd round pick.

Like I tried to say a long time ago, they're basically the same.

Wendel Clark. There's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Fun fact: Hendon Hooker was born less than two weeks after Michigan's last championship.

Kelly Stafford in the middle of it again.

Ironically I see Glenn as a Vrabel type. Would be wild if the Titans hired him. I'm not sure I would want Vrabel as coordinator. He would likely be one and done and only there to become head coach. I like the idea of the Lions developing coaches. Let Kelvin Shephard take over as defensive coordinator.

I feel like Harbaugh and the team should gather for a ceremony before the Lions game.

I'd look for New England to hire Vrabel.

I remember the Rod Wood derangement. Good times. I am impressed with how well Campbell and Holmes seems to fit together and their chemistry. I watched the entire press conference with Campbell and he talked a lot about strategy but the media only latched on to the kneecap soundbite. Campbell is smarter than people give him credit for. Ironically, he's who I thought Patricia would be.

"The Lions went from the defensive-minded, player-unfriendly Matt Patricia to the offensive-minded, rah-rah Campbell. Campbell, 44, has entrusted just-fired Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn as offensive coordinator and former Saints assistant Aaron Glenn as defensive coordinator. First off, Detroit shouldn't have been roasted for hiring Campbell vs. a minority coach, given that it also hired two minority coordinators along with new GM Brad Holmes, the Rams' former college scouting director. Second, with that out of the way, Campbell and Lynn also are presented with an immediate big challenge with the looming transition from quarterback Matthew Stafford to likely a rookie. The other hires were based on scheming brilliance and staffing experience, while Campbell, the one-time Dolphins interim head coach, is somewhere in limbo on that spectrum. He's a wild card like Meyer, only with nothing close to the same individual winning resume. Someone had to be last and, given how good this round of hires feels, Campbell is that guy."
