Cuz McVay could probably straighten his ass out is the thinking. Not the biggest fan of it but I'd give it a chance. Worst case if he bombs out, we'll have a high pick to choose a quarterback of the future starting in 2026.
We are eventually going to have to start over someday. Is Stafford good? Of course he is, but he's also very close to the end of his career and his value isn't going to get better than it is now.
She could be bullshitting but it will all come out in the wash once it becomes known what he's signed for with the Rams or a new team. If his restructured contract is less than market rates, then he will be taking a discount.
I like Lawrence but I think if we do that, the Jags are going to view us as a desperate ass team and ask for a lot. Depending on what they ask, could it be worth it? I say yes as long as we don't get fucked over on picks too bad. If the Rams did make that trade, it's obvious that McVay likes Lawrence big time so I'd trust that.
Yeah that's the hard part is separating the fact from the fiction. It will definitely become much clearer what the story is once everything is settled.
Yeah I'm not advocating the trade just thinking he'd be worth going after.
Why would Matthew Stafford voluntarily go play for the Giants? They aren’t anywhere near contending and they have one of the worst offensive lines in football.
Everyone wants to be somewhere for a price. Wake me up when numbers start flying between Rams and Stafford.
Getting the best pick won’t happen. Stafford has all the leverage. He could just threaten retirement if he doesn’t like the Rams trade partner. He gets to pretty much dictate where the Rams trade him if it comes to that. If he retires, the Rams get nothing in return and they take a nasty dead cap hit. So either they agree on a deal, or Stafford picks his new team and they work out the best deal possible with that team. There aren’t really any other options.
If we did sign Rodgers, I hope they make a rule that he can't give any interviews or appear on any podcasts/social media/etc..
Are we the the Giants without Stafford? We have Puka, they have Nabers. We have Kyren, they have Tracy. We have the OL edge. But they gave young defensive talent. We do too.
We have McVay. They have Daboll. Big big advantage to the rams lol
Like what the Jets told him he'd have to do if he wanted to stay?
it's not just and edge with our Oline. They could field 5 of us on the line and have about the same success they had this year.
That's what makes me think this is all about money. In Stafford's mind, the current contract doesn't have to be honored. Maybe there was a gentleman's agreement last summer that if they couldn't come to a deal now that he could opt out of the rest of his contract (hopefully with some signing bonus refund coming back to the Rams for cap relief).
