Coaching is the #1 most important part of a team. People like Bill Belichick-the greatest coach of all time-have won games with sub par talent consistently. The Rams and Sean McVay have become the epitome of how much better a coach can make a team. Jeff Fisher was one of the worst coaches in the league and the Rams finally came to terms with that and let him go, and Sean McVay now has a team that is 6-2 and leading an always talented NFC west, besides the 49ers in recent years of course.
Jared Goff through 7 games his rookie season threw for 1,089 yards, 5 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Jared Goff through 8 games this season with Sean McVay he has thrown for 2,030 yards, 13 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He is also averaging around 100 more yards a game this year than last year (2016: 155.6 Yds/G 2017: Yds 253.8 Yds/G). This is a HUGE jump, makes you almost wonder how many draft "busts" were actually only a product of having bad coaching. The offense as a whole struggled greatly last year as opposed to this year, having a total of 4203 yards, 24 total touchdowns and a turnover ratio of... wait for it... -11, being one of the worst offenses in the league. At the half way point in the 2017 season the Rams have a total of 3057 yards, 27 touchdowns and a turnover ratio of +3, currently leading the league in points per game at 32,9, now being one of the best offenses in the NFL, being one of the best teams in the NFL. Is it the start of something great? As long as Sean McVay is at the helm of this team. Coaching is everything,
