Lions won that trade
- homiedclown


Rams were probably in a bidding war with SF & Indi

And if the Rams win a Super Bowl,
i don’t think they’ll mind too much that they overpaid

Rams jump up to contender status in the NFC now

Detroit is getting TWO 1sts and a 3rd as well
Stafford is underrated imo,
but what a haul Detroit got for him

I can’t imagine what Watson goes for now though? Wow

- jdfitz77

Goff 7 years younger
Been to super bowl
Playoff guy


Staff is staff

I might swap them
No way I give up those picks and goff

Ah, okay.....I would make that trade. Move Lazr to the wing and put Okposo on the taxi squad. That makes us a better hockey team now. Pretty deep down the middle.

We’re still a flawed team, but it makes sense imo
Little moves like that to make us a little better can add up

Not having first rd picks for 4 years in a row gonna bite the rams

They are all in for a small 2 year window

And if Rams go to the Super Bowl next year? Are contenders for 3-4 years? Idk, this one will have to play out.

I hear ya,
but Rams had to overpay or they’d have lost out & been stuck with a guy in Goff that they clearly lost faith in

Stafford has been an underrated QB on a bad team for pretty much his whole career
Now we’ll have a chance to see if he’s a gamer

Why only 2years?
Stafford is 32- he should still be good for another 5years or so I’d think

I was thinking Montour or Miller.

However after looking at Bennett’s analytics I wouldn’t make a deal for him at all.

However Toby Reider had the ugliest analytics I’ve ever seen and the soccer coach has done wonders for him

- Pegullaville


A line of Bennett - Eakin - Rieder makes a lot of sense, but you are right about Bennett's statistical profile looking ugly.

I agree they lost faith in goff

Probably could have got watson for that return though

All the more reason they needed to upgrade their QB play

We’ll see how it all works out

Very tough division though....
Especially if SF gets Watson

He doesn't have the it factor for me

Good stats due to garbage time come from behind

I believe Bennett has been almost exclusively playing wing for the Flames.

Yeah for sure, that's the job of the GM. His job on the line not mine though lol. How are you feeling about Ullmark now that he's gotten more time and games this season? First games etc. in 10 months. His numbers say trending in the right direction. I've been happy. Couple easy ones but even the best do that...we just don't watch them every night.

Not his fault his defense has pretty much always sucked
Good player stuck on a bad team
And won’t be asked to put the whole team on his shoulders in LA
They can win games 17-10 out there
That’s a bit different then having to score 30+ to win in Detroit

I just saw this one....

2016 - Goff
17 - no first
18. No first
19. No first.
20. No first
21. No first.
22. No first.
23. No first.

7 years. No first. Is the Twitter machine right?

He played Center (3C) for the entire playoffs last year for them- and was really good too

I don’t watch much of them in the regular season though

Stafford is a top 10-15 QB.

Goff is a 20-25th ranked QB, plus on a terrible deal for 2 years.

I’ve never disliked Ullmark- but i think his ceiling is an “average” starting goalie
Since we’re “going for it” this year with Hall,
I’d love to upgrade & bring in Kuemper
Bc Ullmark would be one of the best backups in the league- & give us a heck of a 1-2 punch
*i also don’t trust Hutton

Hmm...I'm not going to argue over Ullmark. He's 27 I believe? If so, he's hitting his prime years. He's made some big saves recently. They're all going to a have stinker here and there. I like his projection right now. I'd like to see him tomorrow on the second of a back to back. If he's a true #1 he's going to have to handle those from time to time.

He's unproven, for sure.

Sorry Goff’s contract still has 4 years.

Stafford’s was 2.
