    I think it will be interesting to see what McVay's entire career looks like.

    It would have also been interesting to see Tomlin coach a team that throws caution to the wind re: cap management too.

    For now, these guys are comparable IMO. It will depend on what the rest of McVay's career looks like. We saw how Reid's career went from good coach to great coach when he benefited from the fact that people can't scout QBs for the NFL.

    McVay basically admitted that he didn't think he could win with the guy he developed (who's been really good in DET). So I'm not sure what his level of confidence will be after he loses Stafford (who will also end up in the Hall of Fame IMO...maybe not 1st ballot, which is where I think Ben should go).

    Stafford is currently 500 yards ahead of Ben on the all time list.

    He's currently 38 and about 7-8k yards behind Manning for 3rd overall.

    He's ~ 16k yards behind Brees for 2nd (and another 9k behind Brady).

    Like Brees, he's a very good QB who deserves to be in the Hall. I personally think Ben is better. But it looks like there are several posters here who disagree in the Ben vs. Brees thread.

    I never see you make this many excuses for the Steelers considering all the injuries the Killer Bs had in the playoffs :rolleyes:.

    Not saying you're making this argument, but if we're taking away SB appearances that happened because the QB who got them there was drafted by the previous HC, Cowher loses one too.

    O'Donnel wasn't in Ben's league. But the offense he led that year was great...until that last game.

    I never blamed Tomlin for the playoffs loss in 2014 and 2015......

    I believe McCarthys Texas Coast incorporates both McVay and Shannahan style offenses into his.

    Apparently he spent the year away fine tuning his approach. We’ll see how that translates to this season.

    Must be a fluke that he developed Goff so well he not only traded him away, but two 1st round , and a 3rd round draft pick for a Qb already Developed. LoL

    You keep you stupid playoff wins.
    SBs matters.
    2 SBs apiece, both lost one , and won one, and one didn't have to trade away 9 first round picks for players already developed.

    Anyone that says a HC that has traded away 9 first round picks for players that were already developed, and has won the exact same amount of SBs as Tomlin , and thinks he is way better clearly has an agenda.
    Tomlin: 2 SBs, 1 win

    McVay: traded away 9 first round draft picks for players already developed by other HCs 2 SBs , 1 win.
    Yeah he's so much better. LoL
    Sorry fact mean little to you ,but hey feelings. LoL

    Tomlin somehow took a Qb that just came off his 3rd year in the NFL, but didn't develop him, and yet McVay took a 12 year vet , and somehow developed him.
    You are a f**king hypocrite

    Yes I would have like to see how we would have done with trading away 9 first round draft picks , and that's not counting the 2nd, and 3rd rounds for player already developed like McVay has done.
    Can't wait to hear the McVay lovers tell me how he developed M. Garrett, and T. McDuffie this year. LoL
