I know the Rams won a Super Bowl but I like what the Lions ending up getting in that deal.

Rams received:  Matthew Stafford

Lions received:

  • QB Jared Goff
  • CB Ifeatu Melifonwu (2021 3rd-round pick)
  • WR Jameson Williams (2022 1st-round pick)
  • DL Josh Paschal (2022 2nd-round pick)
  • RB Jahmyr Gibbs (2023 1st-round pick)
  • TE Sam LaPorta (2023 2nd-round pick)
  • DT Brodric Martin (2023 3rd-round pick)

At the end of the day it comes down to rings. For a long time it looked like the Chargers had won that Eli trade by 2 rings to none says the Giants won by a landslide.

They don't even play him like that. Campbell believes that a player should earn his spot. They haven't taken consistent shots down the field.

That's still pretty concerning though.  Amon-Ra, La Porta, and Gibbs looked great as rookies under Campbell.  I know Williams missed some time due to injury and suspension, but very concerning that he's not making an impact and/or getting PT (he played 70% of the offensive snaps last week though).

I think he's a talented guy but I don't know if it will happen with Detroit/Goff (Goff is a good QB but not exactly the ideal QB for Jameson).

While this is largely true I still think Rivers was a much better overall quartback I suspect he wins those superbowls if the trade hadn't happened.... he never had close to the defensive support Manning had.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
