Yes, because he, better than anyone knows Goff was the weak link that needed to be upgraded.
Being the head coach and taking responsibility is a lot more than him being better at calling plays or clock management.
And, I’d better a lot of money that this was not just a McVay decision alone.
Oh I am not disagreeing with you on these points. I am just saying CAP does effect teams strategy that they can't completely ignore the CAP. Plus some of their moves were puzzling.
Why we didn't resign Saffold when we had a chance.
Why we didn't draft a center when we had the chance instead we drafted Allen which has been a huge mistake.
I was banging the table for the Washington Center a few drafts ago instead we got Day which hasn't been bad but the center is now an all pro.
We could possibly have found a decent replacement for Day if we drafted a DL instead of Allen.
Calvin Johnson walked away from the opportunity to be the best wide receiver in the history of the NFL. He hated Detroit and that was a big reason but I also remember him citing protecting his own long term health as another reason (at least that's how I remember it). Point being, I don't think Megatron has any motivation to return to the NFL he doesn't care about his all time rankings and he prioritizes his health.
If we got Megatron to come out of retirement due to getting Stafford, I would do a 180 turn around on this trade.
Stafford and Megatron for Goff two firsts and a third would be more than worth it (if Megatron could get back in football shape - which I think he could).
Yeah but one year man one year
Go to a winning team - win the super bowl
Could you imagine Johnson Woods Kupp Jefferson as the WR corp? Just holy crap.
Stafford would definitely get 5000 yards with that

Ya. After I made that post I decided to google him.
One of the reasons he retired was he had a concussion every year in the league. He is just now, as of last year, venturing into the marijuana business. Which funny enough I believe Gronk did as well in his short retirement. But Johnson also retired 6 years ago. . .
Pipe dream - pun intended.
Glad to hear Goff is happy to go somewhere he’s wanted. He’s gonna need that positive demeanor going forward because every media head is going to rip him apart if he fails. He has a chance to prove he didn’t need McVay’s hand holding and I hope, for his sake, he can prove it.
I hate this type of thinking. It's almost like you want this to fail so you can tell everyone "I told ya so!!". That's just lazy. If you are a Rams fan, try and look at the positives here. There are quite a few IMO.
Also, I didn't love this trade when I first heard the details. After a night of sleep and some cold beers today, I am fired up. I have too much stress in other areas of my life to let this shit phase me. Go Stafford and GO RAMS!!!
Just out of curiosity... Is there some reason why anyone would want their qb to throw a no look pass in between three defenders?
Most likely result is an INT and a benched qb.

I’m late to this conversation but Hebrew National are my favorite hot dogs.
Its the first round picks I really hate - so yes if we don't win a super bowl it is a shitty trade - we went all in getting Suh and Talib and the other nameless CB - got to the Super Bowl
We went all in with Ramsey - didn't work out but I could accept trading for a long term future with Ramsey
However, I am expecting at minimum a super bowl appearance since we traded our future away ... again (and I am including Goff in that)
You can only trade away your future so long before it bites you in the butt. This may be it.
I really hope I am wrong and I will eat crow if I am
Okay if there are some injuries that keep us out of the superbowl I will accept that but anything less than a super bowl appearance if healthy - no - shitty trade
I don't think communication had anything to do with it AJ. The Rams simply were not willing to ride the Jared Goff Get-Right Train any longer. His rope played out. Now if he's smart he'll rewind those areas he was coming up short and at the least get his basics down because I'll tell you right now if you don't read and see the field well in a rebuild situation you're in for some serious pain.
But I think this will be good for him. Goff's a good kid and I'm sure he's gonna learn a really important lesson here and maybe one that helps him get his career back on track.
