McVay does little to nothing to create space for receivers. We see very few rollouts, misdirections, clear-out routes, flea flickers, screens or slants. Our receivers are slow and the 'over-the-top' deep pass is essentially non-existent. He makes it very easy for DCs to scheme to stop the offense because virtually every pass originates directly behind the center 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage and rarely travels more than 30 yards downfield.

Rams offense overly dependent on Stafford's MVP-level play; McVay's scheme lacks creativity.

A Rams fan analysis critiques head coach Sean McVay's pass-play calling since the 2025 Super Bowl win, arguing the offense has become overly dependent on Stafford's ability to execute perfect dropback passes without schematic help. The analysis notes McVay uses 'very few rollouts, misdirections, clear-out routes, flea flickers, screens or slants' and that 'virtually every pass originates directly behind the center 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage and rarely travels more than 30 yards downfield.' The critique suggests Stafford must play at an MVP level for the offense to succeed, as McVay provides minimal space creation for receivers.
