Yeah, so it wasn't so much about "losing faith" in, or being down on Goff as it was the opportunity to acquire Stafford.

Anyone know if this was a recent interview? is the whole thing out there somewhere?

The video was posted 16hrs ago.

I appreciate everything Goff did for this team. I'll still follow him for a while to see what he does in Detroit. Snead basically said they didn't want to waste Donald and Ramseys prime years seeing if Goff could ever take control of a pro-style offense the way Stafford does. I think thats fair. You can be a fan of Goff and understand dude had limitations. I'm excited to see how Stafford and McVay mesh together. I think the only truly elite QB as of late we've seen in this Shanahan offense was Matt Ryan, and he won MVP and took the Falcons to the Superbowl running it.

Goff did go 7-9 yesterday, so I think maybe we made a mistake in trading him.

And almost threw an interception just before.
Eh - It wasn't a great decision on his part but it was the first play of preseason - sheesh

And he threw it where only his guy could catch it.

The defensive player would have had to be able to catch balls one handed to intercept that pass.

And if they can - they are usually on the offensive side.

As to the sack - I rewatched the play and Sewell didn't get beat that bad.

The right guard got horribly beat and Goff backed up to where Sewell was pushing his guy.

Goff had nowhere to go on that play and I admit he kinda sucks at avoiding the rush up the middle.

He is okay on outside rushes if he is able to step up in the pocket but he wasn't able to step up because the right guards man was right there to tackle Goff.

As to the PI - I think Goff underthrew that ball and the defensive back made a great play on the ball - NO PI imho.

Of course I only got to see the condensed version of the play - not any of the replays so couldn't see if the CB was holding the WRs arms or not.

Interesting and diplomatic comments. Imo Les is credible when he says that key factors (not saying the only ones) were Stafford's experience and the Rams' window with the players they already have (Aaron Donald.)

When the dust settles from this trade GMs are going to think twice about letting that talented vet QB go finish somewhere else. This is exactly why I say if I was the Green Bay GM there is no way in hell I'd let Rodgers go somewhere else and rub my nose in shit for another few years. Packers were smart IMO. Detroit should have played hardball.

The picks are nice of course. But we're about to see the value of a QB who is fully matured and in mastery of the basics of this game, when paired with a good gameplanner and play caller. It ain't easy to hit on one of these guys. And once you do you have to weather the growing pains and that young QB fucking up to learn. So like I've said before the Rams basically exchanged picks to install a QB who doesn't have to go through that shit. Who has mastered all that stuff.

And btw I believe what Snead's saying, that Goff helped us get that done. Because he's got high pick talent which is also not easy to get on your roster. The Lions know he's not been the same guy. They saw the film. They're just betting that they can surround him like we did in 2018 with good talent and a strong run game and be in good shape plus have those picks.

But again just IMO it's gonna be hard for Detroit to watch their QB go on to win rings here. Because I think that's gonna happen.

He also got sacked the 3rd play of the game.
Dude the entire Lion QB corps attempted 30 passes and got sacked 4 times.
I know its preseason, but there was some serious floodgates going on.
Especially considering teams traditionally don't do a lot of blitzing in preseason.
