People around here love Goff so much they dont think Stafford is a better QB?? Wake up Stafford is A LOT better and you will see.

Our first round picks will be late 1st rounders anyways its not like we'll be in the top 25. And what did you think it would cost to get rid of Goff's terrible contract? A LOT.

But now we have a legit difference maker at QB that has some of the best arm talent in the NFL. Pairing him with McVay will be fireworks.

If Shanahan wanted Stafford badly, and a few other teams were reported to then that obviously drove the price up. The Rams two first round picks may be 31 or 32.

So the lions traded for what is essentially two second round picks, if things work out the way McVay obviously thinks they will.

Throw in that trading a first round pick a year from the coming draft is looked at as more of a second round pick. If it’s 31 or 32 it’s more of a third round pick.

Either way McVay didn’t think things were salvageable with Goff. Maybe they feel that once he got paid, he slacked off a bit. Seems that way to me. Stafford on the other hand has worked his butt off despite being on a shit team his entire career

Can't wait for your new mock with Stafford at QB... I'm JOKING! ;o)

Screw mocking. I don't even feel like it for the rest of the year. Might as well gut the whole fucking team.

..... guys are thinking they are smarter than they are...

 

[FarNorth]

That’s the only way. Without - absolute fail

I'm having trouble seeing how Stafford improves the Rams' offense enough to win a Super Bowl. I'm not even certain he will improve it at all.

All in all, something BIG must've either happened behind scenes or been brewing for awhile.

I have always LOVED Stafford, and to me it's a legit upgrade.

Don't like giving all the picks but we got our of an awful contract and to me legitimately upgraded at QB.

I wish Goff nothing but the best.

Silver is angry because his in with the team will now be in Detroit.

 

[OntarioRam]

For those saying this deal gets Watson, I disagree. I think it would have needed another 1st. Which begs the question... if we were willing to give up these assets, why not just go 1 pick further, and get Deshaun.

Because Snead and McVay are idiots, that's why. One is an arrogant egomaniac. The other is a numb skull who can't even put together a sentence that makes sense.

LOL. Keep thinking we got raped homie.

The fact that you say “... not sure I can continue rooting for this team” (not in blue font), shows you don’t trust this FO.

Oh, but you said that we’ve went to the playoffs 3/4 last few years.... why?

The FO.

Something tells me the guys who actually played the football would disagree with that statement. The GSOT had a great run. And then poof, we were a shit franchise. I trusted the FO. I trusted the coaching staff. That isn't true anymore. This is the straw that broke the camel's back.

 

[socalmab]

Seriously is there any way that this falls through?? That is way too much to give up for a marginal upgrade!!!!!!

 

[Dodgersrf]

Oh...and it sounds like Frisco may have run up the price on us.

 

[Turducken]

HOW???

The only way to fit Stafford under the cap is to really do damage to the fucking roster now.

As it stands we would have to pay Stafford $1.25m more than Goff next season, but then we'd save $8m over Goff in 2022. I'm sure Stafford will be willing to restructure that and move some of that $8m savings to 2021.

This is unfortunate stuff man go smoke a bowl and come back lol

 

[dieterbrock]

The Rams, who havent had a 1st round draft pick since 2016, wont have another one until the year 2024
And the 2015 + 2016 picks who are no longer on the team will cost over 30 mill in cap space

 

[ArkyRamsFan]

i am now a charger fan, see ya
train

Don't give me that train. You're a lifer like me and you ain't goin' anywhere.
Yeah, I'm upset too but in McVay we trust.......for now.

Just the whole shit flavored cherry on top of the shit sundae that McVay's forcing us to swallow.

My point exactly. Respect you for admitting it at least.

 

[den-the-coach]

I’m speechless

 

[Gandalf]

I have suffered as a fan through so much bad football. We finally had things going our direction, and they do this. I just can't. I think I might be done with this team. I've enjoyed talking football with y'all for all these years. I'm sorry, y'all, I just can't anymore.

It looks like I save a bundle next year on Sunday ticket.
