SalvadorsDeli Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If nothing else the Rams are a fun test theory for whether the draft is overrated. Going at least 7 years without a 1st round pick - if it works for them we all need to reconsider a lot of assumptions about what a winning strategy looks like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Stafford on the books for 2 years at 21.5M APY. Goff was on the books for 2 years at $25.5M APY. Save money for a better player, the Rams have all of the pieces in place, Goff held them back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't happening. I love the FF hot takes. Goff is not Rex Grossman. Rex Grossman had a 4 game stretch of competent play out of the gate and fell apart the second teams figured him out. Goff has been an above average starter for a competitive team for years now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a less than 5% chance we're able to retain either... and we'd very, very likely been anticipating that (in fact, I can flat out guarantee we were anticipating losing JJ considering we've grabbed young safeties the past two years in the draft, which have both panned out well). I'm assuming we lose JJ for sure. If we can keep Floyd it'd be huge for the defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brandin Cooks doesn’t drop a TD that game is miles different (not to mention the second one he could have had, but I’ve softened on calling it a drop) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I feel like I've been higher on Stafford than the consensus for years, until apparently today. Now, some are overrating him. He's on the higher end of the averageish tier of QBs. I've also been lower on Goff historically than many, but even then, he's just on the lower end of the averageish tier of QBs. This is an upgrade for the Rams, but I really don't think it's a needle moving kind of upgrade. And the worst part is, he's 33. Or will be in a week, anyway. I get trying to go all-in on a superbowl window, but this is that to a level I can't agree with. You decreased your ability to add future talent, you put a hard end date on your superbowl window (Stafford's age), and again, I don't think the upgrade is that big. Stafford is Matt Ryan, or maybe Philip Rivers at best. He isn't the consistent carry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny/Patrick Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I keep seeing that Goff might be traded to a team that needs a QB because the team that trades for goff is still going to need a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Stafford really upgrade that offense to a Super Bowl contender? Edited January 31, 2021 by Xenos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameson_Neat Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 2 minutes ago, CKSteeler said: Roethlisberger's career is littered with him making key plays in important moments for his team. Stafford is the guy who throws the interception that seals his team's fate. Sure, if he had a consistently better team we probably wouldn't be able to say no playoff wins. We'd still be talking about a guy who shrinks from the big moments. Stafford hasn't thrown more than 11 INTs since 2015. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean goff isn't great but that seems like they had to add in picks to include him in the deal. You should be happy. This might mean some sucker might let you trade off your negative equity QB as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one clunker of a draft, but otherwise if you went back and objectively graded them, the other three have all been good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
