Rams send Lions 1st round picks as well. Interestin.
Just heard the Rams haven’t had a 1st since drafting Goff and now won’t have one till 2024.The Lions sent Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for the Rams' first-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023, a third-round pick in 2021, and quarterback Jared Goff
Hmmm. I agree with Goff.
The Lions problems go way deeper than who their QB is.A comparison of situational stats (qb ratings) for three qbs, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, and Baker Mayfield this year.
Quarter - Stafford - Goff - Mayfield
1 - 110.4 - 92.3 - 86
2 - 102.3 - 78.1 - 110.5
3 - 90.9 - 90.4 - 88.7
4 - 85.4 - 104.1 - 91.9
behind by 7 in Q4 MS - 88.1 - JG - 90.9 - BM - 127.3
Tom Brady Q3 rating is 81.6, the rest are over 100 with 121.2 in Q4
Mahomes - every situation - except OT is over 100
Just looking at stats - I don't think the Rams or Lions gained a darn thing.
Depends how those qbs fit in with their new teams.
And some were thinking the Lions might draft Fields from tOSU. They might decide to go after a different position now - maybe a WR?
Agree on both!The Lions problems go way deeper than who their QB is.
They can win with Goff if they add some players around him.
I completely agree with this take.The Rams gave up a tremendous amount to have a slightly better chance of winning for a couple years. Stafford turns 33 this coming week, and I wouldn't have much confidence in him being a higher level player beyond the two years he's currently under contract.
The Lions got a QB in return that could potentially be solid. If not, for them there's probably nothing hurt having Goff under center for a couple years while they added two extra firsts and an extra third in the next three drafts.
One would think the market price for Deshaun Watson is going to be absurd after this deal. If Stafford netted 2 firsts and a third, Watson has to be worth something along the lines of 4 firsts or 3 firsts with a combination of several second and third round picks.

In general, I agree. However, this could be the deal that gets the Rams a SB. Stafford is an elite Passing QB (key word Passing), and with McVey coaching him, he can reach new heights.I've never been a fan of sending multiple number one picks in a trade. It pretty much never works out.
I think they’re more than slightly better. However, it is weird just 2 yrs ago Goff lead them to a SB and now he’s gone. That Monday Night Game where they beat the Chiefs in an epic shootout showcased how the NFL has evolved into an Offense first/Pass Happy League.100% agree - Rams way overspent to get slightly better. Clearly going for the SB right now with that defense. It also shows how quickly they lost faith in Goff. Kinda stunning.
It reminds me of about 20 years ago, when my son and I played the NFL Blitz video game.I think they’re more than slightly better.

Every game finished at about 75-72, or something like that.
25 yards for a first down!I hated Blitz too. I’m not particularly fond of this high scoring, limited Defense style of play, but it is what it is.
25 yards for a first down!
The rules people have slanted things to favor offense for too long now.
It is because offense sells tickets.25 yards for a first down!

Blame Mel BlountThese easiest solution is allow DBs to play more aggressively. In the NFL, PI needs to become only a 15 yard penalty instead of a spot foul and it should only be called in the most blatant cases. If there’s any doubt, no penalty should be called.
That should be taken as a compliment. And it’s not like wanting to bang her means he’s “in love” with her. She’s a hot POA and that’s how guys talk.
I've said that for years, too.These easiest solution is allow DBs to play more aggressively. In the NFL, PI needs to become only a 15 yard penalty instead of a spot foul and it should only be called in the most blatant cases. If there’s any doubt, no penalty should be called.
