You say that but the Rams show otherwise. McVay took that job with Goff who is a middle of the road QB. Then Campbell did it in Detroit. Offensive minds will see what he can be and be intrigued. To me that’s better than coming into a situation where QB is a complete wild card like a rookie for example.

The difference is McVay took the HC job before Goff's 2nd year, to me that looks like he took Goff on as a developmental QB and had some success with Goff putting up QB rankings of 100.5 and 101.1.  The difference is that this is Trevor in his 4th year and he's regressed for the last 8 games.  Unless Lawrence makes a major turnaround this year he's going to be an enormous albatross for the next coaching hire.  Heck, unless Hines-Allen and Campbell come out and live up to their contracts that's 2 additional bad contracts.
