About McDaniels From Someone Who Knows Better Than the MSM

Good evening TST, I'm primarily a Broncos maniac; however, the Rams are my #2 because my best buddy is a die-hard Rams fan and now they have Josh McD. I'm also very impressed by coach Spags and when Denver hired McD I had actually preferred Spags as the choice instead of McD at the time.

Now, I understand that the mainstream view on McD is that he is a cheating, franchise quarterback trading, arrogant punk kid. I am here to tell you that this view is an ignorant one. The MSM and local media in Denver spewed so much hate on McD that the average fan would think that McD was the anti christ.

McD needed more time to build the team he planned. The media and ignorant crybaby fans in Denver couldn't handle the concept of rebuilding. As a born member of Broncos Country, I can tell you that our fans (on average) are spoiled rotten, instant gratification babies. They have been blessed by having one of the winningest franchises in the NFL.

Luckily, our new management (John Elway and company) is keeping the best parts of what McD started. Mark my words, the McD legacy in Denver has just begun and we will reap the benefits of what he started offensively for years to come.

Amoeba offense is what it has been called. It is very complex and don't expect Bradford to be totally proficient until year 2. But, trust me, if given enough time, Bradford will be amazing. He has the accuracy and smarts to be phenomenal in this offense. McD tailors the offense to completely exploit the weaknesses of each oponent specificaly. This takes a very smart group of players to be successful.

Another thing about McD is that he is aggressive on 4th down. You will see him go for it more often than you are probably accustomed to.

He is far more emotional during the games than he is in a press conference setting.

You will find that in press conferences McD is careful and complimentary toward opponents.  He is very guarded about injuries but, surprisingly, very open about discussing the game and specific plays.  Not that he would be in front of the press for you guys.

McDaniels is very intelligent, he has a mathamatics background and probably fits some of the nerdy stereotypes as far as relating to people on a group level.  Interpersonally, I believe there is nothing fake about him.  He is probably blunt to a fault with people.  Once he develops a relationship with someone he is loyal to the end.

I strongly believe that Josh McDaniels will one day be the head coach of a super bowl winning team, and probably more than one.  McD is a fiery competitor who has football in his blood.  He will be a fixture in the NFL for a very long time.  He will not be with the Rams forever, I think you have your guy in Spagnuolo.  Some NFL owner (hopefully not in the AFC West) will give McD another chance and he will be a successful head coach within 5 years.  He will help the Rams to a deep playoff run or two and maybe even a Lombardi trophy. 

Anyway, just some thoughts I wanted to share with TST.   I'm very excited about the Rams and I hope to become a part of your community here if you'll have me.

Best wishes going forward!

 

GO BRONCOS!!!!

GO RAMS!!!!
