Jared Goff has mastered the Rams system and can now create off-schedule plays

I think with Jared, you know, you see why he's the number one overall pick. He can make all the throws. He can change the launch point. He can create off schedule... being in the system for a second year... [he's] become more of a master of it.

Goff had a career year in 2018, leading the Rams to the Super Bowl and proving he had indeed mastered the system.

Putting the third announcer on a field-level cart for MNF is a mistake

When you put a guy, a third guy, not in the booth, in some fucking weird contraption on the field, it will always feel like he's butting into the conversation and doesn't know really when to talk.

The 'Booger Mobile' was widely panned by fans and eventually discontinued after one season.

Without Joe Tessitore, it's an F.

Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston will officially be labeled a bust this year

One of those two guys [Mariota or Winston] is going to suck again and we go bust, bust, bust.

Both players eventually lost their starting jobs with their original teams. Winston was replaced after 2019 and Mariota was benched for Tannehill in 2019.

The NFL Combine workout is a small portion of player evaluation compared to game tape

The the workout part is a really small portion for me at least. I think it's led to some mis evaluations. The tape is the biggest guide. What I do think the combine's beneficial for is the medical checks... and then you spend those 15 minute increments where you're able to just get a feel for their football acumen.

This is a professional philosophy from a successful head coach.

Prospects are defined by how they handle the biggest adversity they've faced

The best thing... is, hey, what's the biggest adversity you faced and how did you bounce back from it? I'm such a big believer just based on the course of things that have occurred... that even though the most challenging moments, they felt like the worst thing when you're in 'em, you look back on 'em and you're saying, I don't know where I would be without what those lessons and those tough times taught me.

This is a personal and professional belief on character evaluation.

Cooper Kupp is likely going to part ways with the Rams

In the eight years going into year nine, there hasn't been a more challenging circumstance that you have to navigate relative to knowing that the most likely outcome is we're parting ways with him [Cooper Kupp]. He's a legacy ram... he's done so many incredible things... but he's been a real one throughout it. And sometimes these tough conversations are real things.

Cooper Kupp remained with the Rams for the 2024 season, despite trade rumors and McVay's comments here suggesting a likely departure.
