Without a QB you're nothing in today's NFL and finding a franchise QB in the draft after the top12 picks is immensely hard nowadays. Same thing I'm saying throughout the Watson's thread where people are offering 2 1sts plus a young QB bust and thinking it'll get the deal done. Think of it this way: Stafford is a high 1st round pick himself, so you gave up a 1st and a 3rd as compensation for Matt and for Detroit to take that horrible contract that'll be even worse in 2021 and Rams are in win now mode, they can't waste Donald's career. Not only that, but we're in the cycle of developing good players who leave and get us comp picks. We haven't had a first rounder in the McVay era but we still draft well and end up with 7-10 picks each year. First round picks are vastly overrated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions willing to eat that money while having a QB who performed just as well but who is younger. If he does not do well in 2 years they have the draft capital to move on.

Actually watch the guy play and tell me he's some elite QB. Tell me he makes the plays when his team needs him to. No one can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Stafford had ridiculously high passing TD shares for three of those four years. Goff's, meanwhile, were extremely low. I loathe this trade.

Jameson_Neat Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 3 minutes ago, NYRaider said: Stafford been balling in the Honda Civic. McVay is handing him the keys to a Lambo. No, he really hasn't. Stafford forced it entirely too much when the Lions had an average to very good defense in 2011-2014. He's a much better QB now, but he's never done it. No question the talent is there, but he's never played clean in a pressure game. We're going to find out soon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about that. Maybe but we were the youngest team in the NFC last year and QBs are playing later and later into their 30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrantikRam Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm pumped. Just wish I knew what the cap would be. If we can keep one of either JJ or Floyd and grab an OL in FA, I'd be feeling great about next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortdetroit Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 17 minutes ago, jrry32 said: Stafford had a great defense in 2014. They still lost in the first round of the playoffs against Dallas (despite leading 20-7 in the 3rd quarter). It's incredible that people are making excuses for a guy not having accomplished anything after 12 years in the NFL. God help McVay if Stafford doesn't take him to a Super Bowl. So the one year out of his entire career he had a great defense he went 11-5? And you don't think if he had a great defense every single season of his career, like say Ben Roethlisberger, he might have a playoff win or two under his belt?
