Yeah, the McVay vs Shanny deal will be a debate for a while. There's no doubt McVay had a much better situation. He had a good QB(though that needed an infusion of offense) good OL, blue chip players on defense to go along with an explosive receiving corps and RB. Cooper Kupp was my draft crush last year. I was not all that happy he landed with the Rams....
This should be a long term, great rivalry! I had hoped the niners would pick McVay but Shanahan may turn out to be the better HC. Now both are on the west coast and we'll have years to debate the issue. One of those odd circumstances that happen in sports and you can see how league shaping the decisions were...in retrospect for the most part! So excited to watch the next few years, and Shanahan has the advantage with JG. I see him as a much more complete QB.
