I did not say look for another QB, allow Goff to prove he is worthy of that contract. Many Ram Fan's wanted Goff to succeed but felt he was not worthy of that contract, hence him getting booed at local sporting events. That QB contract is the "kiss of death" for teams so your "team suicide" has no merit.
Yeah I misread you. I saw you as proposing the Rams move on from Goff after 2019. That would have left them without a qb in 2020, before Stafford asked to get out of Detroit. Either way, how was going to a superbowl not yet proving you're worthy of a contract?
But in terms of kiss of death, Rams in 2021 are paying TWO qbs--Goff and Stafford. Combined it's 42 M (though it's possible that extending Stafford could lighten that). Because off the top of my head, that;s at the top of what any team is paying qbs this year. That's more than the cap hit for Mahomes. That's more than the Eagles cap hit for qbs. Do you expect that 42 M to be the kiss of death for the Rams in 2021? Do you see them as dead this year?
I don't think it is a kiss a death. I think they will be contenders in 2021. I have always been skeptical of the argument that paying the qb cripples a team.
