Even if Stafford retires tomorrow and Goff goes on to win a superbowl this season, its still a win win trade both ways
The Goff and Mcvay relationship had deteriorated. Badly. Goff needed a hard reset and to be humbled a little. Thats built him into the QB he is today. Mcvay just needed someone with slight more talent (at the time mind you) to put all the chips in on and make a run. They both come out winners. Rooting for Jared. Stafford is still good but i am curious to see if rams are gonna move him and just opt for a fresh QB in the building
If the Lions win it all this year, while a win/win, we have the better end because we are built for the long term unlike LA was. That being said it’s all about the rings so they have won it thus far
There’s not a doubt in my mind that there is nothing more mcvay wants to see outside of success for the rams than success for Jared Goff. There was no animosity but the project had run its course and it was clear who was holding the team back. Andrew Whitworth I believe has come out and said Goff asked for a sit down with mcvay after the trade that was essentially a debriefing of what went wrong and how he could improve as a player.
It’s like the girl you broke up with because you were going to different colleges, and you both found someone great who you worked out with perfectly. But her perfect is marrying a dude who’s dad runs a fortune 500 and he’s got a 7 figure salary out of college, and your perfect is you and your wife both work high 5 figure jobs, 5 days a week.
One has a super bowl ring and the other is top 5 for the year.
Seems like a win/win trade if there ever was one
I’m not sure Goff is a top 5 QB this year but he’s up there.
He’s not, but definitely top 10 or 12.
I’d say top 10 at worst. Mahomes, Burrow, Allen are all clearly ahead. I think (at least this year) he’s in that Herbert/Jackson/Hurt tier
allen is not ahead, this year at least
Put Goff on the Bills, with no running game and no OC, and it wouldn’t be pretty either.
Top 5 where? On the Lions?
Can’t be a win-win if one team got a SB and the other hasn’t (yet). Not saying the Lions lost, but the jury is still out on them.
They got a cup we got our guy

I feel personally attacked by that entire second paragraph
Yeah, they did what they wanted and won a SB in that window
It was the perfect trade.
Until you realize that the Rams still would have won it with Goff.
