Don't be greedy.

Trading him was honestly the right move. We needed draft assets to build around at that point much more than we needed a huge money RB that had missed a bunch of games the previous two seasons. That we did a ton of terrible drafting for years on end is totally different conversation.

Yep, a really good rb puts a really good team over the top.  A really good rb doesnt really do much at all for a bad team.

I don't see how anyone doesn't understand that the choice to trade him was absolutely correct. The mega deal we signed him to and the plague of injuries was why that was the case. Not to mention the fact that we stunk and were getting worse. 

As I have pointed out repeatedly, he would just be either injured here or putting up big numbers on a losing team.

Also, the injury thing hasn't gotten better. He has missed 14 more games with injuries since he left(22.5% of all games with SF).

Hence why so many have said so often....DON'T DO MEGADEALS FOR ANY RB.

And for all the people chirping about paying Chuba, he is the 15th highest RB contract in the NFL. He ain't getting a ton of money.

Sometimes trading a great player is the right decision for the organization. Like the Lions and Stafford. Stafford had been in Detroit putting up good numbers for years and they just couldn't figure it out and with him aging they made the right call that they probably weren't gonna figure it out before he went on the decline and decided to move him for a huge bounty. It obviously paid off for the Rams but the Lions have also had four winning seasons in a row now. It hurts to move a franchise player but sometimes it's the right move for the overall organization.

Maye will win MVP and Stafford will win the Lombardi

That trade is the best example of a win/win I can think of.
