    To me, the numbers look pretty similar. I just take issue with the knee-jerk assumption that LA just got a massive upgrade at the position.

    I’d say their ceilings are identical...they have nearly indistinguishable numbers during the four years Goff has been a starter.

    I'll throw this out there, too: Stafford has never been in a situation where he's expected to win, and win big. He's now in a major media market, albeit on a team with no real fan base, and the expectations are Super Bowl or bust. It's not clear how he'll handle it, especially if things don't go well right away...

    Unless they tricked the Rams... Fans don’t get paid to be right

    No question that the Rams think that, but I would argue that NFL teams often are pretty lousy at evaluating QBs—even their own QBs.

    How about just wins? And if you want to talk about yards, Goff passed for more yards and YPA the past four seasons (Goff’s only ones as a starter) than Stafford.

    The article offers zero evidence in support of its main premise—That Matt Stafford is a MUCH better QB than Jared Goff. Lot of competition for that title... Stafford has hardly been without weapons in his career in Detroit. The absence of a great running back is a weak excuse for his lack of success...

    He played the most important position on the field for 11 seasons...At what point can we say he was part of the problem?

    Seems like a terrible reason to give up a ton of assets for a guy who’s never won squat in 11 seasons in the NFL.
  10. mannc
    Well, obviously there was more of a market for Stafford than for Goff. I’ll be curious to see how both do in different systems. I just don’t think there’s much evidence for the notion that Stafford is better than Goff at this stage of his career. As someone else said upthread, NFL teams are notoriously bad at evaluating QBs—even their own QBs.

    I think for some reason they wanted Stafford, a guy that other teams were interested in. I also think the relationship between Goff and McVay was broken and Goff just had to be moved.

    It’s cool that Buffalo might now be a place where aging stars want to go to “compete for a ring”.

    Please look at their passing statistics the last four seasons and explain to me why Stafford is a huge upgrade from Jared Goff...

    So the Rams don’t give up their first this year? I had not seen that reported anywhere. Just assumed it was ‘21 and ‘22. That does make a difference, although the Rams still massively overpaid.
  16. mannc
    Well, there’s no question which QB the Rams prefer, so what do I know?
  17. mannc
    Well, it’s not just wins...The last 4 seasons, Goff has thrown for more yards, more TDs and more yards per attempt than Stafford. It’s not at all clear to me why Stafford is considered a better QB.
  18. mannc
    And yet Goff seems to be much better at winning football games...
  19. mannc
    This may be an unpopular opinion, but I might be inclined to take Goff over Stafford, straight up. I think Goff will win as many games in Detroit as Stafford did the last two years...Awful trade for Rams

    Can’t forget—those Rams first rounders will both be late in the first. about equal to 6 or 7 overall.
  22. mannc
    How can you rule out the Jets? Same amount of draft capital plus Darnold. Tua has very little value; maybe less than Darnold.
  23. mannc
    Good lord. This means Watson is worth at least 4 first round picks.
  24. mannc
    No, but it’s the way Watson runs that I think exposes him to injury. Guys like Russell Wilson seem to run all the time but never take hits. Watson is more reckless (courageous?) in the way he runs—not unlike Josh Allen—and of course the sacks expose him to injury as well. He’s already torn his ACL during his time with the Texans.
  25. mannc
    My only concern about Watson is that his frame is relatively slight. With his propensity to run and to take sacks, you have to worry about how his body will hold up over a long career.
