They gave up two 1st Rd picks, a 3rd, and a starting QB for Matt Stafford.

And what do those picks guarantee? Not to mention we've been doing pretty good without 1st rounders for awhile now, they earned the trust.

Oh boy, Rams fans are going to be disgruntled.

Going to be? You see Goff play the past few years?

I know and the funny thing is Philly and the Rams invested high in these 2 QBs and neither has made the stardom anticipated. Goff will land somewhere with a great running game that doesn't showcase his arm and he will be considered a great QB then. Maybe wind up like Dilfer or Johnson

Rams have a good running game, Goff made no difference.

Are you positive the Rams are not on the hook for some of Goff contract? In addition to Staffords.

good but nothing great or good enough to control games. They were middle of the road. I'll give ya an RB by committee is not too effective on any team but there is a bright side for the Rams running game.

Rams were 4th in rushing attempts, 3rd in rushing yards, 4th in rushing tds, and yards per rushing attempt. Cam Akers just rushed for over 220 yards in the those two playoff games.

CAM came on strong towards the end of the season, Goff was the weak link.

No guarantees.

It's impressive that they found a team willing to absorb Goff's contract. So they deserve kudos for that. But Stafford is only under contract for 2 more years, and he's 7 years older than Goff... Stafford is 5-46 against teams with a winning record. Not to mention he has never won a playoff game.

It seems to me that the Rams just wanted to get rid of Goff more than they wanted to acquire Stafford. Pretty much downgraded their QB and threw away two 1sts & a 3rd to make it happen.

IMO on paper the Lions won this trade. Yea they'll be paying Goff more than he's worth, but those picks *COULD* make it worth it.

I think the Lions had already committed to the rebuild. Goff will just give them better picks over the next two years.

Also, the 5-46 record against good teams doesn’t bother me when you take into account that he plays for the lions.

Finally, we will have the question answered . Is Stafford A loser Or was he just stuck With the worst Organization in the NFL?

This has been debated for years

If Stafford starts winning playoff games now, he can change his legacy

Good points. Lions are committing to, what, their 30th rebuild? But people thinking that the Rams are suddenly SB bound may want to pump the brakes a little. That's far from a guarantee. Stafford's essentially just an aged version of Goff.

Rams do have a better team & coaching staff so Stafford's chances of being successful in LA are far better than in Detroit. Guess we'll finally get to see what Stafford is made of next season.

Stafford is a lot better than Goff. Goff will look like shit without Sean McVay in his ear helping him with coverages. Stafford will look a lot better without shitty HCs and OCs. Stafford hasn’t ever had a coach like McVay.

This year, I think the Rams are much more of a threat to the packers in the post season with stafford. Personally, I’m glad he’s out of the division. He’s the QB I wanted the bears to get.

I bet the Rams give Stafford an extension, freeing up more money this year.

Wow, mediocre QB's are expensive.
