Real random thought but Sean Payton is still the biggest bytch in NFL history. That onside kick to start the half of the super bowl against the Colts was straight coward shyt. He knew Peyton was gon go right down that field and at least get a field goal and that game would be essentially over. He will forever remain a bytch for that. fukk Sean Payton.
The Garçon drop still hurts.

Lol I don't think anyone is saying dude is about to be a world beater but some consistency and stability will go a long way. We seen how it made Goff look for one year. Personally, I look at it like this. You got top 10, then 11-16 (which is where I would place Stafford), and then you got the rest of the mf's rounding out the bottom (see Goff). Not gonna hurt going from bottom 16 to mid tier. :manny:

I think they are gonna hurt. Gave up too much for a mediocre QB that won't be able to keep them afloat for them to not miss those picks.

Meh. Look at all these 1st rounders not panning out lol. They haven't had none already in years and seem to be doing just fine, maintain competitiveness. I think the only issue they'll possibly come across is depth. Like, if they ever have even a fraction of a season like San Fran had last year with injuries, its gonna be a wrap.

That defense gets older every year. You wanna bring in or train a good QB to help elevate the team to take pressure off them and mask the team's flaws. I don't think Stafford is that guy, and the team doesn't have any real deep ball threats, Stafford is supposed to be good at throwing the long ball and yet I wouldn't trust Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp to go out there and get them. Bad fit for a mediocre QB and now if you fukk around and go 8-8 or 7-9 a few years there's no real reload.

There's generally a few Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson type players that have good college careers but have no buzz coming out of the draft that fall into the late first round or 2nd round and you disqualified yourself from getting one of those guys. And all the WRs you need to revamp the offense for Stafford will be long gone. Rams are just gonna have to hope Stafford plays football at a higher level than he's ever shown us for 3-4 years straight for a good return on investment and I don't see it happening. shyt was dumb.

I think they realized they crashed the ship with that that Goff contract, and they are pushing all the cards in now to tap out the roster now, and kicking the can down the road. I agree with @Type OH about the 1st rd volatility, and that's apparently their admitted strategy, but once they find that can again, they better be toting a trophy or two :whew: this many yrs is gonna stress that theory, and put a ton more pressure on every roster move

I'm glad this is happening in Tinseltown. Regardless of the results the media can't hide it, so we'll see it firsthand if it works or not, every step of the way

Man, when you got 29 year old Donald and 26 year old Ramsey, you got about a 3-5 year window of your life being that much easier on defense. You can count on guaranteed pressure and you can count on either 1 side of a field being locked down or somebody's star WR being clamped. From there, you just need a few good men to do their damn job.

As for WR, yeah there's a drop off after Smith, Chase & Waddle in the draft, they could easily grab a Trevon Grimes though. 6'5, 215 running a 4.4 who developed nicely at FL. Or Terry from FLST. It's gonna be a couple sleepers in the draft aside from the big names. There always is.




And you're right about Stafford on deep balls. He had 7 tugs to 0 picks on deep throws compared to Goff's 2 tugs and 3 INTS. You ever think McVay was hiding Goff's deficiencies with the dump offs, screens, etc? I kno Cupp and Woods aren't exactly world beaters but they ain't bums either. Stafford's also led the league in game winning drives on multiple occasions. Goff's not giving you that and we know that's needed.

I'm not saying this move puts LAR in the SB or anything by any means, but I do feel like they're in a better position than before at the expense of capital that's overvalued at the end of the day. They have an owner who doesn't care about cap hits and all of that. Wheels could definitely fall off for sure but who wouldn't trade for basically 7-10 years of being in contention?

IT's an interesting experiment that's gonna be fun to watch from a non-fan perspective lol
