NFL: Will the Rams Super Bowl win encourage more teams to go all in on trades?

[BKIslandersFan]

Rams got lucky, being able to land a QB like Stafford.

He's far from elite, but hes a good QB and those are rarely if ever available.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Not too often does a player bitch his way out of a team and then lands on the Super Bowl winning team. That's Odell Beckham Jr. for you. And also Cleveland for drafting Baker, who will be crashing and burning like Tannehill soon enough. Ramsey also had it with Jacksonville, which led to him landing in LA.

The Rams "model" cannot really be replicated.

How OBJ and Ramsey left isn’t the norm. But moving forward can very much see guys in a Stafford position ask out earlier in their career. Position players don’t last 12 years that QBs can.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Trading him now is probably the best thing they can do to help themselves as well and recoup the asset(s).

Understandable.

You simply cannot invest a 1st round pick in a QB nowadays unless you are preparee to give them significant reps during their rookie contract. It was even worse for the Packers because they were coming off a great regular season and had a generational QB still in his prime at the time. Such a waste.

Mainly because most destinations are not as desirable as Los Angeles. Like, I doubt people would line up to join the Packers.

 

[GKJ]

The Rams were able to move the picks they did because of the other people they drafted or signed. Kenny Young was their starting middle linebacker and traded him so they could get Ernest Jones on the field.

Rams have been good at drafting for years. They can get away with it.

Motherf***er, please. You were on a record all season long saying the Rams are frauds and Stafford sucks and would never win anything as the Rams QB.

Now time for you to apologize and congratulate. If not, then you’re just a narcissistic clown.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

One of these teams with everything but QB should go after Cousins. His stats are really good. Plus the cost will not be as high as Wilson or Rodgers.

Corey Dillon is a notable case.

Wrong.

LeGarrette Blount did it after his brief cameo with the Steelers

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

These moves only work if you can find cheap, reclamation talent on the fa pile and scheme them in. La and Sf do a great job of this, other teams not so much.

[SirClintonPortis]

Wrong.

Then name the counterexamples.

That worthless dogshit Baker Mayfield complained about OBJ and got him out of Cleveland. Mayfield is a complete loser.

I wonder how he'd do for the Steelers?

The whole OBJ in Cleveland situation was so bad, he was the scapegoat on a team that was supposed to have Super Bowl aspirations.

Instead Cleveland was a dumpster fire and had to watch Cincinnati pull ahead in their rebuild, reaching a Super Bowl.

He didn’t fit with Cleveland.

with the Rams he was number 2 behind Kupp.
Now he’s got a second acl tear to the same knee.

see if he opts to return or retire. Don’t foresee another big payday for him in the future in terms of a lot of guaranteed money.

seems like a lot of talk about field turf now. Half the teams play on it.

LA, Sea, Cincy, Det, Min, Indy, Hou, Alt, Car, No, NY, NE, Buf, Dal.

Det, Min, NO play in a closed dome.
Indy, Atl, Dal, Hou, in retractable roof.
Sea, Cin, Car, NY, NE in open air stadium
LA’s roof is a cover and is not retractable. But the field is below grade
So how teams can figure out grass is going to be interesting especially keeping it fresh when concepts and other events are going on.

Not sure if lucky is the word. Its not like Stafford asked to be traded and he refused to go anywhere but LA. They had to give up a good haul of picks and beat out other teams.

That worthless dogshit Baker Mayfield complained about OBJ and got him out of Cleveland. Mayfield is a complete loser.

OBJ never wanted to be there in the first place. He is attention seeker and couldn't stand being in a small market. Hence why he chose LA.

OBJ never once complained in Cleveland.

 

[GKJ]

Beckham ain’t retiring. He will have to take another 1 year deal though.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

My brief observation of the NFL is the fixation with draft pick. I understand they are mostly cheaper player that can fill important roles but the chance you can draft Pro Bowl quality players are very slim.

I would definately use this strategy more often than not to fill important position when possible (trading away draft capital).

He was going to be the number 3 behind Kupp and Woods before he tore his knee in practice.

George Kittle along with a grass company is going to sue for grass to be on all fields. I’m sure some more guys will want to sign on now.

He got his dad to do it.
