Why the hell won’t he put Skinner with Eichel. It’s just getting stupid at this point and I can tell Eichel is going to get frustrated with the barrage of taxi squad on his line. He clearly gets frustrated with blown plays

I mean, you (and generally most) will make every argument for your side while just completely ignoring the other side here. Stafford is a better talent, plain and simple.
- SDSabre

based on what?


goff had 3 really good years before this season

went 33-14 as a starter



the coach and new offense coordinator for some reason doesn't like him now
and they paid to get him out, a lot


of course they must have liked him a lot before when he got that contract


it's a tough division, the rams are becoming an old team in the last year or 2 and their window is closing and I am not sure those in management know this

Allen.

However Stafford gives the Rams a better chance to win than Goff.

Even with saying that though wins are a team stat. It’s much more then just the performance of the QB.

- Pegullaville

I think this trade, and lack of more picks put the rams with a 2 year window, assuming they can shed 16 mil w/o losing a bunch of decent starters

their depth is going to disappear really quick on that roster

My Jets will do something stupid for him

And then wonder why they go 5-11

Great QB but the Jets have no run game no receivers and the D is ummm Shakey

- dmarsden2988


Jets should consider trading down & picking up a ton of assets if they like any of the other QBs
They’ve gotta rebuild their team around whatever QB they pick

We’ll see. Like I said before, many stats that is used to measure help for the QB (yards after catch, time to throw, and even schematic things like 7+ blockers and pre snap movement) Det is/was in the 20+ and LA was top 5. Basically these metrics show that LA was always protecting Goff, vs Det leaving Stafford out to dry. Again we’ll see. Overpay yep, don’t disagree. But Stafford is better then Goff imo, and the two organizations completely agreed obviously

The analytics say that skinner is getting a ton of chances on his current line. He just needs to bury the puck

I’ll take a crack at how this plays out -

The Eichel line won’t work, Mittelstadt will be off of it by halfway through the second

Skinner will get like 3 shifts with him so RK can pretend to the media he doesn’t actually hate him

Trade. I think we will be fringe playoff contention and we will make a move to to bolster our D and forwards
