Also the Eagles had a lot of good players on their roster this year as well and that Helped both Went and Foles this year. Point talent matters more than coaching. If we had Marvin Jones, Andrew Whitworth, a healthy Eifert and Zietler our offense is still just as good as it was in 15 no matter who was our coordinator.
Man if you think signing Whit impacted the Rams more than bringing in McVay, I don't know what to tells ya. System matters. Talk to any Rams fan and ask him to choose between McVay and whatever guys they signed in the offseason. It takes more than a couple FA signings to get rid of the stink of a bad team. If talent were the main issue, every team that splurged in FA would turn it around. But the FA winner rarely turns it around.
Instead, usually when you see a massive turnaround from one season to the next, it almost always involves a coaching change.
Andy Reid to KC
Jim Harbaugh to SF
Doug Pederson to Philly
Sean McVay to the Rams
Zimmer to Minny
This isn't coincidence. Sure, you need talent, but a good or bad coach can make or break talent.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
