One was broken when he was traded and one wasn’t broken, The not broken one won a Super Bowl and has been broken ever since, The broken QB is no longer broken having found a new home to heal and grow with
I don’t really give Stafford that much credit for the Super Bowl (which is the argument people use to say it was a great trade). Let’s try to be objective. In 2019 the Rams (with Goff) lost to the New England Patriots, Tom Brady and Belichick. They lost to a dynasty that was making its 3rd straight Super Bowl.
In 2022 the Rams (with Stafford) got lucky against the 49ers (interception should have been caught to end game). Then they faced the Bengals in Super Bowl. As much as you might like the Bengals and Burrow, not the same as playing against the Patriots, Brady and Belichick.
So in totality, I don’t think Stafford was the reason Rams won the SB; nor do I think Goff was reason Rams lost the SB.
Do I think Stafford is better QB than Goff… the jury is out.
I feel like people are trying to math a way to the Rams losing this trade. They won a Super Bowl, they won the trade. The Lions also won the trade.
As a Lions fan, Agree. Stafford was never going to win a SB in Detroit, and Goffs situation in LA was going to just get more toxic. This worked for both parties. Everyone is happy.
If the Lions can win a Super Bowl and contend for other years, could probably make the statement they win the trade as it appears Rams are one and done.
But Super Bowl > Anything
I think the Rams got exactly what they were hoping for. So win for them.
I think the Lions have probably gotten more out of Goff than they expected. So win for them, with the possibility that he can still take the team to at least a conference championship in the next year or two.
Well one is in his prime years and one is sunsetting.
Here’s the thing. Goff was never going to work out with McVay. He is a hyperactive in the moment coach. For me, that’s always been his biggest negative. He does not have any patience, none. Not during games, and not when it comes to looking ahead.
He’s a now guy. Us Rams fans have learned to accept this fact.
Goff found success with McVay because of two things, OL play and having Todd Gurley and Cooper Kupp. That made defenses have to settle back for just about every snap.
Goff has the cannon, and he has the accuracy too. But, when he was a Ram he still needed time. When he didn’t have time he was an absolute mess. Not a terrible QB, but he just didn’t have what McVay wanted back there.
He’s grown as a player, and a person. Campbell gave him the leeway to find his comfort zone and got him a great OL.
I was, and still am a believer in Goff. I enjoy watching him, and I hope he takes Motor City to the promised land, I really do.
However, there is not a chance in hell. I mean zero chance that Goff engineers the drive that Staff Daddy engineered with just him and Coop to win the SB. That shit was just him and CK in the sandlot. It was glorious, and as a Rams fan I wouldn’t trade that drive for anything.
Good luck Jared, the KC game was legendary, and I hope you can be legendary in Detroit, but Staff Daddy got us The Drive and The Ring.
Rings all around would make me happy, and my buddy that is a Lions fan feels the same way. No hard feelings, everyone is cool. I hope it goes that way eventually.
I’m biased but I feel it would be way more fun to win a Super Bowl for Detroit vs Los Angeles. You party in the Super Bowl town first anyway. I think that parade would be way more fun.
Lions bros yall happy?
Cuz Rams bros are happyWin win
Well the rams got a Super Bowl ring out of it so they def won. I know Goff is playing great but the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal and the rams did it.
