Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
Colin isn't wrong. First impressions matter.
The media convinced everyone that Goff was a bust and his white kid from California persona made him not likeable. The Rams "messed" up by not taking "Wentz" the rugged white guy who played in the midwest. Ever since many Rams fans and media types never gave him a fair shot.
It's all ego. Nobody likes admitting they are wrong so Goff will go down as one of the most underrated players in NFL history. We live in a era where style is respected more than production. Goff is a Drew Brees level QB. Definitely good enough to win a ring. Does he? Lots of factors play into that.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
I had no issues with the Rams getting rid of Goff. Both sides underperformed. Goff has a perfect situation now and I am happy for him....But I am not going to fault the Rams for making the moveHellRam wrote: ↑October 10th, 2025, 7:45 pm Colin isn't wrong. First impressions matter.

I'm not faulting them either.

But doesn't negate the fact Goff wasn’t given the time to develop. The Rams could have also had 2 1st, more cap space and a QB who was going to enter his prime.
Also, Goff is in his 3rd rebuild....CAL, LA and DET. The whole "perfect" spot narrative is sorta BS at this point. New OC and reshuffled oline and they are still pacing 2nd most points of all time. The constant is Goff.

Everyone already forgets in 2022 they were a top 5 scoring offense with Swift and Williams at RB. Guess who was the #2 receiver? Kalif freaking Raymond.
I mean Jamal Williams with Goff in 2022 (17) TDs. Next year without Goff (1) TD.
Guess how many top 5 scoring offenses McVay has without Goff? Zero!
Guess how many with Goff? 2!
Guess how many top 5 offenses Stafford has? Zero!
Guess how many Goff has? 6!
Goff has been part of 6 top 5 scoring teams while Stafford has never done it.
The more you you dig into this stuff, the more gross it gets.
I'll gladly admit I love that we won a ring with Matt. The dude can be a straight assassin. Incredibly fun player! But his style doesn't always put points on the board.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
Brad Holmes hit a HR with damn near every pick for 3 drafts and it is not solely because of Goff.

And I was wrong in 2011 Detroit was 4th in scoring so Matt does have one season.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
And I'm not saying Detroit hasn't put a great team together. Particularly on offense. The defense still struggles to be average albiet I like their new DC much more than Aaron Glenn. This could be their most complete team yet.
But this thread is about the QB's. Everyone always praised McVay, Ben Johnson, the oline. All that changed and Goff is more productive than ever. Guess John Morton is the new genius now. Lol.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
if the Rams didn't pay too much for Stafford, I would say it was the perfect trade for both teams.
I was very critical of Goff in his last two years as a ram because he was incredibly inaccurate on a deep ball
His first two years with Detroit he was check down Charlie
It took him a while to develop, Todd Gurley covered up a lot of his deficiencies in 2017 and 2018
We had a much shorter window than Detroit, with AD99 as our best player, Whitworths age, Woods etc
Other than last year, the Rams have been plagued by injuries much more than Detroit
Stafford is a Hall of Famer, Goff has a very good shot but he still has to win some big games

Is good as Goff is, imo, Campbell will prevent him from ever winning a chip.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
The Rams biggest loss in all of this QB back and forth was not keep Brad Holmes under our umbrella somehow!..With Snead and Dumoff in his way. His path was essential blocked. So Detroit definitely won the battle of key personnel being employed. I don't know where he would or could have fit..but if we had kept Brad as GM or VP and Tony stay where he's at. I'm pretty sure my feelings wouldn't have gotten hurt if Kroenke replaced either Snead or especially Dumoff with Holmes. The dude knows football and has an eye for talent.
Get ready, little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
Goff has been better than Stafford? Maybe. Still, one delivered a Super Bowl — the other didn’t. Also, I’m pretty sure Goff has had a much better O-line protecting him than Stafford had in the last three years. The Rams fail year after year to put together a top-5 O-line. Havenstein is old and always hurt, Avila is made of glass and kind of soft, our center is either Limmer or Shelton (both terrible). Alaric is decent and Dotson is good. That’s it. This O-line (yet again) is subpar.
They don’t f*** around with the O-line in Detroit — they know that since Goff is a pocket passer, he needs a top-tier line, and that’s exactly what Detroit has given him year after year.

Not this year. They have Glasgow who is worse than Shelton and 2 rookie guards. Outside of Sewell the oline is very average.brasilrams wrote: ↑October 11th, 2025, 11:08 am Goff has been better than Stafford? Maybe. Still, one delivered a Super Bowl — the other didn’t.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
Lots of that had to do with the trade getting extra picks and Goff signing team friendly deals. The Lions 2024 draft is looking like a disaster. I feel like Brad hasn't done particularly well the last couple years. But overall he has done a phenomenal job turning that team around.Henry VIII wrote: ↑October 11th, 2025, 10:11 am The Rams biggest loss in all of this QB back and forth was not keep Brad Holmes under our umbrella somehow!..With Snead and Dumoff in his way.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
Draft picks yes..team friendly contract..no way Jose! 4 years at 53 per and 170 million guaranteed! with 212 million in total..doesn't seem overwhelming team friendly to me. Detroit restructured Goff's contract when he first arrived..but that was it nothing after that was team friendly in anyway..And to say Goff signed any team friendly contract deals like Brady did through the years is pure nonsense..Detroit's 2024 draft was widely considered successful, with the Lions receiving good grades for addressing their biggest need at cornerback by selecting Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. While the team made a trade up for Arnold and a risky fourth-round pick of Giovanni Manu, the overall consensus is that they had a strong draft. Some injuries have put a damper on results. Maybe not immediate results but still a positive future.HellRam wrote: ↑October 11th, 2025, 11:47 amLots of that had to do with the trade getting extra picks and Goff signing team friendly deals.

Do you guys just make stuff up? Like really lol.
Not one player from the 2024 class will be starting tomorrow night.
Maybe we should watch the games before making an opinion on them.

No, Terrion Arnold was not demoted, but he's not playing tomorrow because of an injury. He suffered a shoulder injury in Week 5..I Don't think an injury is considered a demotion. He played in all 5 of of Lions games this year..he did have early growing pains like a lot of rookies do Mr game watcher. And Terrion might be back this month after a second opinion.

No, no, no… you’re using the overall grade for both players, and Shelton has a better overall grade because of his run blocking.

Shelton is terrible in pass protection — hence his awful score of 44. Glasgow is pretty good in pass protection — hence his 73.
The eye test tells me the same thing: Stafford deals with pressure up the middle all the time, while Goff does not. Sorry but regarding PASS PROTECTION for the QB , Glasgow is not just better but MUCH better than Shelton. Case closed . Don't care about run blocking or overall score , that is not what we are talking about here . Now , we can talk about the rest of the o line and compare them but center ? not a chance. Also , it is not too hard to come up with the stats for the o line rankings for the past 3 years . I wouldn't be surprised if Goff had a top 5 or top 10 o line every year while stafford maybe a bottom 5 , or bottom 10 lol .mcsnead is notorious for neglecting the offensive line.
Goff has become a great player, but every time people compare him to Stafford, the quality of the O-line needs to be a big part of the conversation.

Tomorrow the Lions will be starting a 3rd string LT and a rookie RG and a first year starter at LG. And I bet they still have a better functioning offense than the Rams.
The irony is its looking more and more like Stafford was the one who needed everything "perfect" not Goff.

Re: Colin on Goff - Stafford
totally disagree. the OT situation is a total mess. they should have addressed this either in the draft or FA last yrHellRam wrote: ↑October 11th, 2025, 3:23 pmThe Rams have invested in the oline just fine.

No, no, no… you’re using the overall grade for both players, and Shelton has a better overall grade because of his run blocking. I’ll go with the pass-blocking grade and my eye test, because yes — I watch the Lions. You’re not the only one who does.
Shelton is terrible in pass protection — hence his awful score of 44. Glasgow is pretty good in pass protection — hence his 73.
The eye test tells me the same thing: Stafford deals with pressure up the middle all the time, while Goff does not. Sorry but regarding PASS PROTECTION for the QB , Glasgow is not just better but MUCH better than Shelton. Case closed . Don't care about run blocking or overall score , that is not what we are talking about here . Now , we can talk about the rest of the o line and compare them but center ? not a chance. Also , it is not too hard to come up with the stats for the o line rankings for the past 3 years . I wouldn't be surprised if Goff had a top 5 or top 10 o line every year while stafford maybe a bottom 5 , or bottom 10 lol .mcsnead is McVay is notorious for neglecting the offensive line.
Goff has become a great player, but every time people compare him to Stafford, the quality of the O-line needs to be a big part of the conversation.

As for Hav, the dude is a staple but I agree that his tenure is coming to an end sooner than later.

They both need a lot of support around them since neither is a mobile QB. In my opinion, the Lions understand that much better than the Rams — they’ve heavily invested in their offensive line and even in the running game. Gibbs is a first-round pick, while all of the Rams’ running backs were drafted in the mid rounds. Last year, the Lions’ running game was so dominant that they won games where Goff threw the ball only about a dozen times. Overall, over the past three years, Detroit’s offensive talent has been much stronger.
They have Gibbs / Montgomery we have fumbling machine KY. They have laporta we have highbee ( lol), they have a better o line ( usually at least)....... Ok we have puka but that is about it and st brown is almost as good as puka. So we have a better wr1 and they have better everything else.

Except winning a Superbowl...................
And until he does he isn't "better" than MS. And I think he is playing at top 5 level right now, still means nothing, not when only 1 team gets to be champ every year and his hasn't been..........yet.

The ultimate goal is to play and win the very last game of the season. In the end, that’s all that matters.
