Well I will fill in for you. That's a stupid deal for the Rams. I give it a F. :rolleyes:

Getting rid of Goff was mandatory.... Stafford is a FAR superior QB. It was going to cost the fuck out of LA to shed Jared Goof and every team knew it otherwise you're just delaying the inevitable. Seattle believed a safety similar to Kam was needed for their defense and yah, I agree it was and it showed once Adams got healthy, but this is QB we're talking at this point. Goff is NOT Russell Wilson and I think a number of Rams fans will agree. Adams also is STILL very cheap cap wise.

The problem is, Seattle had no ties with a prior safety. The Rams ownership (who is stupid IMO) were morons to sign Goff to some dumbass contract, so you have to play ball with organizations that are going to take on that risk. Well there's not a lot of organizations available that are going to say, "Well fuck it... we're not gonna do anything for the next couple years anyway so we'll just suck." And hence they have the trump card.

Lions made this trade knowing they are basically doing fuck all until Rodgers leaves (2+ years). Rams made this move knowing they are basically NOT doing fuck all with Goff behind center.

Dude, the Lions are possibly the shittiest franchise in professional sports.

Football fans should be happy this trade happened so he didn’t just quit like Barry and Calvin.

I’m happy as hell for the guy and he just left my team.
Ok but you said Stafford is significantly better than Goff. I asked a few questions that you just conveniently ignored and said some stuff that has nothing to do with what we are talking about lol.

How can you say Stafford is significantly better than Goff when you look at their careers and in 4 full years as a starter, Goff has had 10 times the success that Stafford has had in 9 full years as a starter.

Goff took the Rams to a Super Bowl. Goff has won the Rams 2 division titles and 3 playoff games. Stafford has brought Detroit 0 division titles, 0 playoff wins. Stafford is a stud fantasy QB at best.

No idea why anyone would concern themselves on the opinion of labor when hiring management.

That’s not something that happens.
But that is something that happens.

Most, if not, all veteran QBs are brought in on those decisions. Ben in Pittsburgh. Rodgers in Green Bay. I'm sure Dak was consulted in Dallas before hiring McCarthy. It's a matter of respect especially if you think that your QB is gonna be a concrete part of the franchise for years to come.

Goff has played for a team with a defense.

Staff had a team with a defense in the top half ONCE. One time. (Suhs last season in Detroit)

The Detroit Lions are garbage. The best defensive player they’ve had in 25 years, they never even offered a second contract. And couldn’t physically afford to tag him.

What?

No business owner needs to ask their labor who they’d like for a boss.

This isn’t the NBA. These guys are meat.

Go look at how many TDs Garbage can Goff threw in the playoffs (3 games) on the way to the Super Bowl.. which I might add was the worst performance in super bowl history.

..before you start chirpin Goff led the Rams anywhere.

Goff, two 1st's and a 3rd for a 33 year old? The price in Houston just went up.

Steelers fans also know first hand how Roethlisberger played a role in hiring Fichtner and Canada as OC. Can't find links for Dak because that's just an assumption by me and I can't find any articles for Rodgers, but I'd put money on him being a part of the LaFleur hiring.

Did I say they needed to? No. But it would be smart if they did and it's happened numerous times before.

Just answer these simple questions for me and you'll realize that the number or TDs Goff threw in garbage time in 3 playoff games doesn't matter.

When's the last time the Lions won a playoff game?
When's the last time the Lions won a division title?
When's the last time the Lions played in a Conference title game?
When's the last time the Lions played in a Super Bowl?

Goff >> Stafford
