Frankly, I'm bored with all the articles and posts comparing Goff and Stafford. They are meaningless. IMO, two trades occurred but packaged as a single deal. The first trade was to unload Goff and his huge contract to the Lions. Whether me/you or anyone else agrees with the decision doesn't really matter (unless McVay, Snead, Kroenke are reading this thread, lol). Unloading Goff required the Rams to give up a ton of draft capital. The second trade was to acquire Stafford from the Lions. That deal also required the Rams to give up significant draft capital. I don't believe there was a trade of Goff for Stafford. The Rams were going to trade Goff to another team and the Rams were going to trade for a new quarterback (Watson, Darnold, Stafford, Rogers, pick a name). The Lions were simply able to fill both Rams trade desires with a single deal. So comparing Goff's stats with Stafford's stats is irrelevant since Goff was never going to QB the Rams in 2021.
BTW, this post is not directed at you LMU. I don't post often but do read the site frequently and appreciate your comments. This post just gave me an opportunity to get on my soapbox.
