WAIT, WAIT, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
@TheUndroppables
Rams acquired QB Matthew Stafford from the Lions in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick, a 2022 first-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick, and QB Jared Goff.
let's compare & contrast, shall we?

Stafford vs Goff
32 yrs old vs 26 yrs old
2009 1.01 PICK vs 2016 1.01 PICK
6 year difference. Means nothing if Goff isn't good moving ahead. But what if he is?
Let's look at production and efficiency...

Stafford vs Goff
165 games 69 games
62.6 completion % 63.4%
7.2 yards/attempt 7.5
Goff has been more accurate with throwing the ball farther (albeit less than half a CV)

So looking at both...very comparable.
Goff more of an efficient passer; Stafford more mobile.
But all in all not a HUGE difference.

Remember Stafford has been more injured lately and is 6 years older. So how mobile will he be?
So Detroit gets a much younger QB of similar quality and 2 first rnd picks and a 3rd.
Hmmm...

Goff's playoff record is 3-3
Has a SB appearance losing to the Patriots in 2019.
Stafford's playoff record is 0-3
He'll be 33 in a week or two. Not old but not young.

I guess it comes down to your belief in both QBs.
Has Stafford been unlucky being on the Lions? Or is he overrated?
Has Goff personified mediocrity on a good to great team with a good to great coach?
Time will reveal all...

Regardless, giving up what the Rams did is a lot.
Personally, I think Detroit got the better of the deal even if they have to absorb the huge $$ that comes with Goff's contract.
What say you Twitterworld?
