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.It's a players league all pro sports are. If you add all pros to your team you will get better dramatically. Free agency is overrated because teams spend out ragious money on average players because great players like that usually never reach the open market... That's off topic though great players make great coaches though.
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.
