Coach speak and gm speak. You know when you say a lot of words but say nothing.

But what would you say?
"He's our QB" - not a good look if he's traded
Anything other than "he's our QB" would have led to this same situation IMO

No way. I’d hate that trade. I want Donald to be a Ram for life.

What would Goff, Kupp, 2021 2nd and 3rd, 2022 1st, 2023 1st get us?
Honestly and i know some will scoff at this but, IMO Houston is going to want a quality experienced QB in return. A transition QB who can win games. I don't see them wanting JUST picks no matter how many they get. So...Darnold, Tua, Trubiski, Garoppolo, Brissett, Bridgewater or a guy like Goff. Clearly Goff is the better QB.
I'm not adept at it so i wouldn't know but they certainly are. They've been doing it for the 4 years Mcvay has been here and suddenly they decide to be forthcoming.

Why? The organization said Sam Bradford was our QB right up to the time we sent him off to Philly, and there was pretty much zero fallout from that.
I wouldn't really want a deal structured that way, personally.
With Caserio being a Patriots guy, I have a feeling that they're going to try to use Jimmy G. as the transition QB. I think our best opportunity is to flip Goff to the Redskins, Patriots, or Colts for a first round pick and then use that in our Watson package.
If we traded Goff to the Patriots I think 20% of this forum would just immediately die.
Not worth explaining it if you can't see it sorry.
Please go back and look at what I've said about their comments. Come on man!But its not toxic for the head coach and the GM to come out in multiple media sessions and not even commit to Goff being on the roster next year?? Come on man.
McVay would be committing career suicide if he were tied to a trade of Donald at this point in Donald’s career. It goes beyond what Donald brings to play on the field which is the best in the NFL. It would change their identity. They might as well move to Hawaii and change their name to the Waikiki Rainbows.No way. I’d hate that trade. I want Donald to be a Ram for life.
How is it toxic? The goal would be to upgrade the team and getting Watson would be a huge win. Ramsey would get some credit for it.
If it doesn't happen, well, Goff has to come out next year and play better. Should all just be motivation to him.
Did someone come out and ask about Bradford the way they've asked about Goff?
Plus you're talking Fisher vs McVay here, and a whole host of other differences.
You forgot to type "IMO" somewhere there.So happy we have such a toxic situation going on here.
Yes, actually, they had been asked about Bradford and his future with the Rams before that trade. Remember he was coming off of two seasons of torn ACLs. Both Fisher and Snead assured everybody that Bradford was our QB going forward pretty much until the time he got traded (and I still remember how salty Jim Thomas of the Post Dispatch was about being lied to by them).
I think what they are doing now - publicly giving Goff a vote of no confidence - is much worse. I weakens their negotiating position if they want to trade him and poisons the well with him if somehow they can't and have to keep him for another season. It would have been much smarter to keep the negative comments behind closed doors and publicly state confidence in him even if they were planning on trading him.
Exactly why there is no way he plays for Houston next year, the cats out the bag and they aren't going to catch that bastard either.That was in result to the org hiring Nick Caserio as the GM without any input from Watson after they org went to Watson to say that they would consult him on both the GM and HC hiring.
They lied to his face. I'd be pissed, too.
I still very much favor the "McVay blurted it out" theory.

You're dead on with respect how the Rams have behaved. There's no strategy to it and obvious downsides. I still very much favor the "McVay blurted it out" theory.
Goff also has to be really pissed. It may now be that trading him is the best option all around even though the Rams have likely undermined his market value.
