It probably had to do with the 3 year limit on futures trades. Rams can't trade a first rounder this year so only had 2 they could offer. And obviously that's not enough for Watson.
Agreed. And honestly I get the anger. I think there's a bias out there against Stafford, a kind of block in people's minds, that is similar to the block that people had with Goff which we have complained about for years. I had it too, the guy I had in my mind is completely different from the real guy on tape who was one of few bright spots on a poor roster in Detroit. After the trade I watched some of his film across some 2020 games and was so excited afterward that I couldn't sleep. Still slept like shit last night too.
Lot of the same people who are so angry would be over this shit already if it was Watson. But the issue here is moving Goff for a guy who is relatively close to him, and by that I mean they are statistically in the same group. Problem is the Goff that people have in their heads is not the Goff who just got traded. Now maybe he gets back to that and I think Jrry and others could end up being right. But either way his window here timed out, we all got different feels for why that happened, but it happened and we're gonna move on and watch Stafford slay it in this offense.
Without a doubt. People doubling and tripling down in defense of a guy who is a shadow of his two year ago self. Then they see the reality and can't process it.
It's gonna take more time. But not gonna lie I'm feeling right now like we're seeing an extended tantrum and it's tiring.
