Furthermore, McVay’s confidence in the quarterback speaks in itself that he feels proud to have bet on the right player at the right time.

Money well spent by the LA Rams

However, McVay deserves much of an appreciation as the quarterback. Stafford seemed to be a very costly option, as he was being exchanged with the Super Bowl winning quarterback Goff along with two first-round picks. No matter how risky the move may seem, his exceptional decision making abilities brought the franchise back on track.
