Stafford And Lions and Rams oh my!

[guaranteeed]

Great trade for the lions, great trade

Getting, what I'm guessing is an extra 1st/3rd, for taking on Goffs salary is a great move

 

[braves]

Don’t Rams always give up draft picks

seems like both teams got what they want out of this

 

[guaranteeed]

That is to say, and it's clear the media narrative will be different because I'm seeing them all say watson is worth a billion picks now

But Goff as a backup with his salary had such a negative value on the rams that they had to pay to get rid of them

I dont know whether the lions even like him, but taking that salary to get an extra pick or two is such a smart thing to do and something that happens a bunch in the nhl and this new Detroit gm is smart to do it here

Rams in win now mode upgrade their offense big time, defense was already top 5, so it's a huge win for them, picks are great but flags fly forever

Happy for Stafford

 

[braves]

Yeah , I think this sets the price on Watson at 3 first rounders

 

[guaranteeed]

Yeah , I think this sets the price on Watson at 3 first rounders

It's likely two 1sts in the 20s too

Whereas if say the jets or dolphins move their pick in a potential deal it's a top 3 pick, which is already worth more than what lions got on it's own

 

[rambler882]

Got +2800 on Rams before board shut off.

 

[CPA-hole]

I'm seeing +1100 now.

 

[ProV1Colt]

Yeah , I think this sets the price on Watson at 3 first rounders

Miami, will offer up the 2 1’s this year, 1 next year and Tua and see what Houston does

 

[Big daddy naught]

Miami, will offer up the 2 1’s this year, 1 next year and Tua and see what Houston does

That’s the best they will get. Won’t get a better qb than tua in a trade and 3 no 1s. Am I the only one who thinks tua will still be good? You do that and use the picks to draft weapons for him they can get better quick

dolphins should offer that to Packers for Rogers , that would be wild

 

[ProV1Colt]

What about Dallas. Could they tag Dak then trade him to Houston for Watson and some 1s?

 

[ProV1Colt]

 

[cubsker]

Utah thinks 8 mile is pussy shit

Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver.

 

[braves]

Hey did you guys know Stafford went to high school with Kershaw and now they are both in LA (sarcasm)

 

[Big daddy naught]

What about Dallas. Could they tag Dak then trade him to Houston for Watson and some 1s?

Would hou take that gamble on dak w the torn Achilles and having to try and sign him. Plus Dak isn’t the problem in Dallas. Coaching and d is lol

 

[KJ]

Somehow Sean McVey has tagged his career to Matt Stafford, that's unique

 

[braves]

Last time Rams had a 1st round draft pick was 2016, that’s crazy

 

[ProV1Colt]

Last time Rams had a 1st round draft pick was 2016, that’s crazy

And won’t have one until 2024 I think

 

[ProV1Colt]

 

[HUNT]

Stafford ain't winning no super bowl. Don't put futures in

 

[ProV1Colt]

If I could photoshop. I would put Staffords face on this

 

[SIGO]

Stafford ain't winning no super bowl. Don't put futures in

Some very average quarterbacks have won a Super Bowl but you’ve watched Stafford up close for a decade so I trust your judgment.

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Clearly McVeigh knows hitching your wagon to Goff is the road to getting fired. We can beat around whatever bush we want, but Stafford is a clear as day upgrade for an already elite roster.

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Someone let me know when the Raiders have put all that draft capital into actual playoff winning football.... consolidation of draft picks is easiest thing in the world. Picking the next Khalil Mack is a different story.

Every Sunday/Monday/Thursday for 12 years bro....

 

[HUNT]

Even if you take Goff out of equation... Lions still get 3 picks. Two first rounders. Pretty wild. News here is saying Goff might not even start here either. He could be traded for more draft capital. I'd bet Goff can net a #1 first rounder.... Let's say colts.

 

[cubsker]

If you're Goff, you have to know they basically decided you are shit.

Great trade either way for the lions

 

[HUNT]

Great trade either way for the lions

I agree. I say that mostly because the Lions were going nowhere with Stafford.. so if they go nowhere with Goff, at least they got draft capital.

 

[HUNT]

Goff is a good play action qb if Lynn decides to go with a run heavy offense.

 

[HUNT]

Think the colts go after Goff?

 

[HUNT]

Wft?

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Think the colts go after Goff?

Absolutely not. Frank Reich is the genius who made Wentz elite and I expect the Colts to make a run for him.

 

[rambler882]

I'm seeing +1100 now.

I was quick lol

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Goff is legitimately garbage. He has no mental ability to run the schemes that elite offensive coaches like McVeigh and Rat Jr. want him to run... so of course he'll be perfect for the Lions.

 

[HUNT]

It's +1900 at BAS

 

[HUNT]

Stafford will either get hurt or choke the last quarter of the season like he always has.

 

[guaranteeed]

100%

You're new GM just bought himself like 3 years of goodwill already, and by all accounts scouting was the reason he got the job

 

[B.A.R.]

This is absurd. Lions could be awesome!

When?

 

[B.A.R.]

Got +2800 on Rams before board shut off.

Was gonna bet it last night never did.

 

[B.A.R.]

Stafford will either get hurt or choke the last quarter of the season like he always has.

Get hurt?

He was hurt his first year...played with a broken back for most of a season

Guy took a lot of hits to not miss many games.

Yup.

Should be able to tank a few more years and hopefully do a complete rebuild.

Give MCDC 4 years to get his shot with a complete roster

This would make this the best Lions trade ever

Bingo

a first rounder for Goff with that contract? How much money is he still owed ?

 

[HUNT]

Get hurt?

He was hurt in 2019. He missed some time this year. My point is he's getting older.. Everyone here disagrees with me in this thread but I love the trade.

 

[HUNT]

Going rate for qbs now bro.

 

[HUNT]

Teed agrees with me. I'll take that.

 

[braves]

Going rate for qbs now bro.

If they flip Goff for a first rounder then they should name the Annual best GM award after the Lions GM

Someone will get desperate. Lot of qb needy teams. Who says Detroit has to keep Goff? I like Goff, and want them to keep him but they are in a good position and don't take on any dead money from his contract.
