Haven’t they been taking the long road for the past, I don’t know, forever? They had a franchise player in stafford and megatron and couldn’t do ****....
I have to laugh at "the Lions taking a long-term approach to this rebuild"...I'm 41, they've been rebuilding my entire life. They are definitely taking their time.
I guess the Rams think they are a quarterback from winning a Super Bowl now. Not quite as bad (because nothing can be) as the Herschel Walker trade.
Great trade for the Lions. Completely moronic for the Rams
I would have thought Detroit would have sent the picks. Looks like they made out the winners in this.

It's a good move by the Rams to trade Goff for Stafford, but they gave up too much.
Not completely moronic if the Rams win a Super Bowl or two the next couple of years. The backlash will be unbelievably bad for years to come once the window shuts, but if they win it might be worth it. At least Stafford will finally get the opportunity to prove that that the problem was Detroit and not him.
Pretty much this. The Lions didn't trade Stafford for Goff because they expect him to be the future of the organization; they traded for him because either 1. they plan on flipping him to another team that wants a QB, or 2. he's a cheaper option than Stafford will be for the next couple of years until they can cut him. It's not like the Lions are winning anytime in the near future. They don't have a defense whatsoever, and outside of Golliday and maybe Hockenson they don't have much on offense, either.
I checked and Stafford is 2-3 years younger than I thought. He's also had his butt kicked for 10 years. Plus there is no contract extension so this could potentially be a 2 year deal. His numbers are pretty cap friendly. So maybe not completely moronic but I still think they gave up entirely too much.

Stafford is far from a sure thing. Seems like an awful lot to give up for him. Wonder if this affects the chances of Watson getting traded. You'd have to think he'd command at least as much in return and probably more.
Also keep in mind that Goff's cap hold was actually higher than Stafford, so the Rams are getting a better (albeit only slightly above average) starting QB on a lower cap. They do have to eat a bunch of bonus money paid to Goff as a dead cap hit.
He is far from a sure thing, which is why I specifically said he's going to get the opportunity to prove that it was Detroit and not him. The one thing Stafford will have that he hasn't had in nearly a decade in Detroit is a defense that won't hang him out to dry week after week.
I think the Texans have done enough to the Carr family. Hope Derek doesn't end up there.
