Rams will be good for a couple more years than hit a brick wall its not gonna look pretty when they'll have to let some of their talented players go in free agency. definitely planning to mortgage their future to have a shot at playing the Super Bowl in SoFi that is the only reason i see this trade being made....
good luck Rams, better make the most of it
I agree. But you have to understand what a terrible situation the Rams have put McVay in. Goff was never "his guy". How he coached him up to make him what he is today, is anything short of miraculous.
The writing was on the wall when he chose Wolford to start a play-off game over Goff, even though he was healthy enough to dress/play. Why didn't Bortels even dress?
Agree with DK and dymarik, the Rams are in "win now" mode, and McVay is a no nonsense coach. He's going for it.
And when it comes to evaluating talent of players and coaches, look at what he saw in Brandon Staley. Took a LB coach, made him a DC for 1 year, and the dude is now a HC.
I think McVay definitely knows what he's getting with Stafford, and better than any of us.
Absolutely. The one unknown though is, how is their new coach in evaluating talent? The guy is a ra ra motivator. We don't know much about him.
They also have a new GM. There's no coincidence that he came from the Rams organization.
Sounds like he knows what he's doing. The old gm's and coaches of the Lions seemed to always draft a CB or TE in the first rounds.

True mckvay knows more. We don't know the full.story
Doesn't work like basketball IMO. Worked with Brady but he brought a bunch of players with him and that was a huge upgrade from Winston. They had talent
Lions need to fix their d. Arguably worst in NFL
Like u said who knows. Rams are a better team going into next year
3 of 4 years in playoffs, and a SB appearance. It's working so far, obviously.
Stafford just boosted then to 10/1 SB odds
At the end of the day Rams have a talented team to “win now” but I doubt that..SLIGHT upgrade makes a huge difference the first year..the Rams seem VERY DESPERATE almost too desperate and maybe even have ruined the franchise for years to come..in my opinion they should have improved something other than QB..they’ve been close with Goff and it just might not be all Goffs fault..
Glad that’s not my team
Even if they keep Jimmy G, I think it's worth a small investment. I think there is still a small chance that they could acquire a better qb, if so, those odds would fall.
Once all of San Fran's mash unit heals up this off season, they have a strong squad. Shanahan has McVay's #, maybe the only guy minus Belichick. This is important playing them twice, and now with Stafford under center.
Just my 2 cents
To judge a QB on "what he's done" isn't all that fair. We could find a ton of examples of good players on bad teams and visa versa.
What has DeSean Watson done in his 4 year career? Besides go 4-12 twice in that span.
What has Trubisky done in his 4 year career? Besides going 29-21.
Which guy do you prefer?
