Among other things this is the last piece in a total admission of failure for the Rams front office in giving big contracts to Gurley, Cooks, and Goff. How much dead cap have we now eaten?

I wasn't saying the Rams are going to dump Stafford after one season , just that his contract seems alot more user friendly

 

[Barrison]

I would seriously love McVays honest take on what happened between him and Goff. You could tell there was tension when Goff came to the sideline after throwing that TD in the wildcard game vs SEA. Sadly we will never get the truth.

What no 6th to the Rams for a little reach around tug???

1. They shouldn't have extended Goff, why did they do it? Please learn from that mistake

Will they ever? Next up are the Woods and Kupp contracts

 

[Dodgersrf]

Step off the cliff fellas. No sense going ape shit over it until you see the final product on the field

Stafford is a solid QB.
I'm sure he'll be fine.

I just think we got fleeced.

Sean McVay when he finally has a first round pick to use in the draft

We really don't have enough choices for reaction emojis. I need a GOD DAMN I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT one for this comment...

Stafford is an absolute stud man. I know some well respected posters around here tried to use stats etc. to say he's not better than Goff. I couldn't disagree more.

Use the film. Use your eyes. He's been a top QB in this league for 8-10 years now of great play. Has a WAAAAAYYY better arm than Goff and most of the NFL for that matter.

And McVay obviously feels the same way. He's been in QB purgatory in Detroit with no running game his entire career and shit coaching. Him and McVay are going to shred teams.

To start I am not a big fan of the trade, Although next year we now start Stafford over Goff and now have some cap space which is a 1 year net gain.
Root for another team Puhlease...That will never happen. RAMS First and NFL Football second.
As a 57 year old lifelong fan having suffered through years of bad teams and Bad FO's with a move across the country,
This certainly isn't chasing me away

 

[Dodgersrf]

Well obviously the FO didn’t agree with folks on here in keeping Goff. #Facts

And your point is?

 

[tempests]

Rams are never going to have a first round pick again.

I don't understand what the hell happened with Goff over the last few months, but whatever.

 

[Angry Ram]

When the Rams oline still sucks, Whitworth retires, there's no cap room, and Stafford is no better than Goff, we'll see how easy it is to watch the 1s round come and go without a Rams pick

You worry too much man

They'll be fine dude.

 

[MachS]

We could be better for a couple of years, but we got fucked.

We will have better QB play there's no doubt about that. And not only that Stafford is in the best situation he's been in in forever. His play will get better under McVay too.

Losing two 1st round picks hurts but they will be picks 37-32 likely so not the end of the world. We've been killing it with our mid round picks lately.. rounds 2-5.

PLAYERS > PICKS 100% of the time

Giving up a first and a third to get rid of a QB who is winning is an unspeakably dumb decision, unless you replace him with a QB who wins a Super Bowl. They went all in on Stafford to win a Super Bowl. If he doesn't do that in the next two or three years, this deal was a failure of epic proportions. And god help this franchise if Goff actually plays well in Detroit (which doesn't look likely with all their WRs being free agents, but you never know).

 

[dieterbrock]

And McVay obviously feels the same way. He's been in QB purgatory in Detroit with no running game his entire career and shit coaching. Him and McVay are going to shred teams.

You seriously trust McVay's judgement? He's the one that wanted Goff to get his big extension and chose no QB to back him up. So he'll love Stafford, until he doesnt. Which could be 3 years, 3 games, 3 minutes

 

[BuffaloRam]

Stafford is gonna put up big movers in 2021 - no doubt about it. 4500 yards and 35+ TDs

THIS may be a massive part that will really help.

I didn't realize Detroit was taking the guarantees.

That changes things a bit...

 

[A.J. Hicks]

I have non-Ram-friends telling me this is a great trade. I just don't see it.

 

[dang]

Stafford is only a slight upgrade over Goff. I am confused by this. If it was for Watson, I’d be ecstatic, but not for Stafford. Goff must have really done something to get on McVay’s shit list.

There has to be more to thus story. If you substitute ‘Watson’ for ‘Stafford’ in this deal and it would have made sense. But as is WTF!!! Snead better get himself ready for some serious barbecuing. He better have more to this story.

High price to pay. The window is the next 5 years. Let’s get it.
