Does this mean Detroit pass up on a qb now in the draft ? I hope so 

Good question--they have many needs.  I would try out Goff knowing I had enough to trade up next year if he does not work out.  But it sure does not sound like he had much value.

If it doesn’t work out, the Lions can easily move on from Goff in two years. The Rams REALLY wanted to get rid of that contract and win now. No way they could make it past the hump with Goff for the next two years and they wanted to move now to make it to the super bowl. Looking from the Rams perspective, I agree that they are close, and can pull off a turnaround now like the Bucs have with Brady. It’s a steep price but one that no one will question if they win a championship now. It’s a no brainer win for the Lions but could be mutually beneficial for the Rams also. You can’t just get franchise QBs so it’s move they had to make if they feel like they have the roster to win it all the next few seasons.

The guy who drafted Goff is now the Lions GM, and a NC A&T alum!

The Aggie may have done us a favor. 

Unless he trades the #7 pick to a team like New England--

By the way, I have known Brandon Parker since he was 4.  His dad and I are good friends.

A lot of y'all are overlooking that a good chunk of those draft picks were literally just to get the Lions to absorb Goff's contract. That's why a lot of us have been saying Teddy has negative trade value. We'd literally have to give up draft assets to get another team to take him off our hands.

That’s why as much as I don’t want TB here next year, he likely is. We will have to pay to get rid of that contract. We saw what it cost to dump the Osweiller contract. Getting rid of Goff’s was going to cost a 1st at least.

Yeah I’m not sold on the lions committing to Goff until they come out and say so . I think they just did rams a favor and that’s all . I would still draft a top qb

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results.

      All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.

      but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
