Stafford's trade was basically for a 1st and 3rd. That extra 1st was for the Lions to take Goff and his contract.

Well, I see this point because of the contract, but Goff's numbers in LA were more respectable than people realize (bad in 2020) for most of his time there---at his age, I think we are a bit premature in writing him off as a value only to the Rams for ridding him of the contract.  It was the only way it happened--I get that--but the Lions will probably start Goff.  The Lions are not looking at Goff as a worthless pile of debt--they will try to give him an opportunity, as they should.

For his career,

Career (2016-2020)

63.4% completion  (66%)

18,171 yards  (17,634)

107 TDs  (106)

55 Interceptions (40)

91.5 QB rating  (97.3)

In parentheses, I posted Prescott's numbers in Dallas--he was drafted in 2016 as well.  Prescott is waiting to be paid as a top QB, and he is not being questioned as the starter in Dallas.  Yet Goff's numbers are similar--and Dak's OL and running game was top drawer.  Goff is more than baggage to the Lions, but the Lions were smart to get a first rounder to take a quality starting QB who is only 26.  If Detroit protects him and gets him some weapons, it could really end up like the Hershel Walker trade that built the Cowboy's dynasty in the 90s.  Or he could be a bust and that was that.  Personally, I think the Lions raped the Rams and they thanked them for it.

We are going to draft one of five QBs, not four, and Jones could be the guy.  We are not leaving the first round without a QB---

I see us moving up with NYJ, Miami, or Cincinnati, depending on who we want.

We are going to be aggressive, and sitting on #8 is not aggressive.

If Stafford is drawing a starting QB, 2 firsts and a third, giving up a future first is not unreasonable.

I have to think that Stafford drew a 1st and a 3rd.

That other 1st was so the Lions would eat Goff's contract. It's really that bad.

IMO Goff is probably done. If he gets to actually start for Detroit I do not envision it going well. I think they are probably still looking for a QB.

The difference between Dak and Goff is coaching. Dak had jason garrett while goff has had mcvay.

It’s a pipe dream of getting Stafford or Watson , they don’t want to come to the panthers and I don’t blame them , they want big money and want to win they won’t find that here . 
 

we won’t be getting Lawrence , fields or Wilson which is a blessing in disguise because I don’t see any of them as great nfl players . That brings the question of tre lance ?!

tre lance will be good or really bad , screw that we can’t take a risk man , 

this brings us to Mac jones which we will be lucky if he’s still available when we pick because he will shoot up the boards after a solid senior bowl , he’s smart , he’s tall , accurate and has a good deep ball . Bro we need a pocket passer something better than jake , I’m sick of these short passers and mobile qbs they never win , the people that win are pocket passers and that’s Mac jones . 
 

tua went early because of his big games despite him having worse numbers than Mac jones and despite him being hurt , Mac bones is being underrated people why don’t you understand that ? 
 

oh but beer Mac jones has all the weapons? Yes he does but so did tua but was devonta smith the headman with that bummer tua no? Dude this guy is a good passer . 

What kind of meth are you smoking up there in south Archdale? Some of that Heisenberg? Sad that such a great account name produces such trash takes on here.

    • I watched a clip of all the offensive snaps. Young threw into some tight coverage and the guys made some plays on the ball. He also really missed some throws.  He has this middle of the field thing into a tight window pretty good and made three or four nice plays but he was just too inconsistent with his accuracy especially in the red zone. Today and in general.    That Int where people were chastising Legette for ‘not fighting through the coverage’, he in no way could have gotten to that ball. IMO. I think he thought it was going to hit the ground and didn’t see the defender coming for it. But not sure what he could have done. The camera doesn’t show the spatial relationship very well, I think the ball was way off. maybe 6 feet or more off target to the inside of the field.  Rico is a beast. And a very good receiver.   That was my impression without dissecting and rewinding, just letting the video roll. I did rewind the int two or three times to look at that one. 
    • My biggest issue with keeping Darnold, which I felt we should have done, is we would still have Fitterer. And everything that came with that.  I think Morgan is going to be good.  Baker, just did not play well at all here. Not sure what else we were supposed to take away from it at the time.  That’s my short ‘I don’t want to argue about it’ take. 
    • Even if we somehow make the playoffs we will be one and done so fast. Seattle, Rams, TB, Panthers, Detroit and Philly are all better than us.
