A little more insight on the almost Matt Stafford trade.

So I know one of the topics to go poo on the Panthers was “Matt stafford didn’t want to come to this dumpster fire”

but Ian is reporting today that there were a TON of teams on the verge of the trade and Stafford and his family had their heart 100 percent set on LA...IMO it seems more of a “Stafford wanted to go their more than he didn’t want to come here” kind of thing.

Dont let the tweet fool you, the article mentions how aggressive the Colts got after the Panthers dropped out. 
 

also….it’s GAMEDAY

He’s their version of Cam Newton. He had just 4 winning seasons in 12 years. His talent was wasted. The team around him was never all that great.

I didn't want Stafford. I'm not fond of giving away future early round picks for a 33 year old QB, ESPECIALLY since we're not a playoff now ready team anyway.  It always made sense for Stafford to go to a superbowl contending team. He paid his dues in Detroit, he didn't want to potentially go through yet ANOTHER rebuild.

Detroit finally got one right after terribly botching the Barry Sanders and Megatron situations. Stafford was a good QB for them who they failed to build a team around. He wanted out and they were willing to sign off on sending him where he wanted to go as long as the trade compensation was in the ballpark of other offers. Good in them. Finally.

Yeah. So glad we got Sam Darnold instead.

I’m sure the Rams were locked in to Darnold if the Stafford deal were to have fallen through.
