But sports reporter and podcaster Bomani Jones sees it differently. He thinks McVay is not the person many believe him to be when it comes to producing great quarterbacks.

“There’s no evidence that Sean McVay is going to whisper (to Simpson) that he’s going to be a Super Bowl winner,” Jones said on “The Dominque Foxworth Show.” “When it came time for Sean McVay to win the Super Bowl, what did he go looking for? Generational physical talent (in Stafford), right? He didn’t look for anyone to whisper to. He went and got the guy who is, and I mean this positively, a poor man’s version of Patrick Mahomes. So, I’m just saying, what is this ceiling for Ty Simpson? Nothing in McVay’s history indicates that the ceiling is going to be higher than a pretty good quarterback… and Saying you can win with “Matthew Stafford and really good receivers isn’t saying much.”
However, the counterargument is that Stafford had one of the best wide receivers in NFL history with the Detroit Lions, but they never got that far.
Stafford gave the Rams their only Super Bowl, so McVay must have done something right.
