BuffaloRebound Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Just now, Buffalo_Stampede said: With a top 5 defense and McVay's heavy action offense, Stafford is going to be very good. The Rams were done with Goff and were stuck with a horrible contract. Completely agree. Rams are probably the favorites to win NFC next year. Detroit is probably the favorite for the #1 overall pick.

Any team in the East giving up all the ammo to get him likely is left with scraps. My opinion has always been he signed that extension I’d make him sit and take those fines. Had he not signed the extension and been on the last year or franchise tagged I’d probably be more on his side. He knew who was cutting him that check though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Stafford broke his back last year. FYI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The Watson deal will push the league full on into NBA territory And it's a lock it will be Miami. They're the only team with the QB and draft capital to get him. This trade (in conference btw) just gave you the sticker price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well for the short term this should allow McVay to do things he couldn't do with Goff. Stafford turns 33 next week. But without picks the cupboard get get bare real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Rams don’t have a first round pick until 2024 Edited January 31, 2021 by Charles Romes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 As others have noted the cost to land Watson just got inflated like a Weimar Republic Deutsche Mark! It's easy to throw stones at Goff but is Stafford really that much better? Put Goff in Detroit for all those years and he's more then capable of putting up Stafford's numbers. On paper this trade is a huge win for the Lions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 4 minutes ago, Putin said: To be honest I don’t care where he ends up as long as it’s not in the AFCE , hopefully he stays in Houston I kinda have this thought that there are two logical reasons not to trade Watson to the AFC East. 1. Trading a top five QB into the conference and having to play him regularly/seeing him the playoffs is just stupid. 2. Trading for either the 2 or 3 pick demands taking a QB with that pick... Unless you're in love with one of them, why create a "This guy is Desaun's replacement" conversation? Better, I think, to get a package that includes many 1sts and a vet who can play (Garapalo, Bridgewater, etc.) and then aim for the QB down the road with the increased capital. Since logic has no place in this conversation, I am sure both of these things will be promptly ignored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bferra13 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 21 minutes ago, whatdrought said: The idea here is that any goodness Goff ever had was completely based on McVey and the system... Which, if true, is scary as we know that Stafford is pretty good - even in a garbage system and bad cast around him... Two really overrated dudes imo... Stafford and McVay.

Can design a run game and has Akers on a rookie contract for a while. Stafford is the icing on the cake. They’ll likely have weak depth but strong top level talent.

Success Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Biggest losers: the New England Patriots. Not only do they NOT get Stafford - they're unlikely to get Watson or anyone else. The price for QB's just went through the roof. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
