If I’m Atlanta I’m dancing a jig. Ryan’s value just went up.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the Lions just made a great trade by getting two 1sts for a 33 year old non-elite QB. Goff's contract isn't great but it shouldn't be a problem for them and it's smart business to take it if it means getting an additional 1st out of it. They're still the Lions so there's a good chance they'll screw up those picks but in the present it's a really good move.
Rams gave up a lot but they also upgraded at QB. McVay should also be able to make Stafford look better than he actually is, which is probably a QB somewhere in the 10-15 range. Really, I'm just happy we'll get to see who Stafford is and there will be no more excuses.

He didn't want to go there because of Patricia (I'm pretty sure that's the reason), it has nothing to do with their attractiveness as a team.

just a goofball
if the lions try to make it work with goff they are even dumber than i thought
They were going to be pretty bad with Stafford. Only won 5 games with him. Guess it depends who is there at 7. If they dont draft a quarterback they can just play Goff for a year and probably along with the Texans be in position for the top pick and draft a quarterback. I see this as a good move for both teams.

not like they have a choice. doubt any team wants to take on that contract
goff is going to be a disaster in detroit
Goff is bad. Like, really bad. They lost the trade, but Stafford instead of Goff immediately helps the Rams chances at a SuperBowl in the Donald window.
Not only do I praise the franchise for going all in for a championship, I also applaud them for not hanging onto their mistakes.

I agree. What other options are there for Indy? Trade for Wentz? Where you likely need to work out a deal to absorb more contract if wentz has to return SB money to Philly to lower their dead cap hit but you then have to pay that to wentz in a SB?
21 plus a 3rd would at least match WFT.
applaud the WFT for making the offer that I would have made if I ran them.

The Rams were going to start John Wolford over a healthy Goff.
I'm not sure what happened but he was broken between their SB season and now. Maybe it was just that McVay system made it so easy back then and now that defenses have adapted Goff has been left behind. He can throw a pretty ball, but is brutal under pressure and makes a lot of bad decisions.

Disagree. Ryan is owed a lot more money than Stafford. I know part of the appeal w/ Stafford was that at one point he was the highest paid QB; now his salary is pretty modest compared to others.
Being THE guy who replaced THE guy who couldn't replace THE guy was also part of it. A lot pressure to be the QB of the Pats when Brady's only been gone a year.

They'll have him there until they draft a QB and he's ready to go.

Thankfully Stafford turned the Panthers down. I like the guy and he's maybe worth 8th overall in a vacuum but the Panthers are a terrible football team and he might have literally died behind whatever garbage OL we're expecting to put out there next season.

this is definitely a factor. Kroenke is probably desperate for Rams to win a Superbowl in LA.

Goff is not as bad as you think hell he's above average if we are taking into account the 32 best QBs in the league atm its not easy to find better QBs.
Then it shows really poorly on the front office that they extended him after 3 seasons, and really only 2 good seasons. The NFL rookie contracts for QBS in round 1, allow the team to have the guy for 5 seasons. First 4, if we are talking top couple of picks cost $30 million total for 4 years, so an AVG of $7.5 mill, then the 5th year option jumps it up to $22-$24 million, which is still reasonable to give you that extra year before a franchise tag costs you $33/$34 million.
Had the Rams done the 5th year option, then they would not have needed to give up an extra pick to get Stafford. They would have $20 million extra in cap space.
So, for both QBs and RBs, the CBA is built to allow you to have time, thus you should use it. Better to pay more to get the right value than to overpay for something.
