    Believe it or not, Adam Schefter says that's still possible. What worries me more though is we thought that somebody else who wants a quarterback badly trades up with them. A couple of different sources of pointed out that the Lions would be in a really good spot to trade down now.

    Part of me wonders if Sean Payton would do it just to piss the Panthers off. I don't honestly believe he's that petty, but still...
  3. Mr. Scot
    I don't think Watson is gonna happen.
  4. Mr. Scot
    It's conceivable this one deal may have torpedoed both of them.
  5. Mr. Scot
    That probably depends on two things, the first being how patient David Tepper is willing to be. But the second, and more significant factor, what does Matt Rhule really think about Mac Jones?
  6. Mr. Scot
    Do we really have the capital to do that though? I wasn't a real big believer in the possibility of getting Watson anyway, but after today I just can't see it. Trubisky? I suppose it's possible if we're interested. I'm starting to think if Rhule really does believe in Mac Jones (and there's evidence to that effect) he's the guy. Maybe not at #8 but who knows?
  7. Mr. Scot
    I know the team is gung-ho to get a quarterback this year, but I'm increasingly less convinced it's going to be possible to get a true quarterback of the future. it feels like if we do acquire one, it's gonna be somebody around the quality of Mac Jones.
  8. Mr. Scot
    From what I've been reading, it sounds like we had pretty strong interest in Stafford. I'm not at all sure where we go from here.
  9. Mr. Scot
    Quick note on Cam Newton, by the way... On a recent podcast, Albert Breer was asked about where Newton might end up this season. He threw out one obvious option (Washington) but also mentioned the Saints as a possibility where he'd back up Jameis Winston. Newton being a Saint could possibly...provoke some discussion on here.
  10. Mr. Scot
    Person pointed out that even if it does, they're in a very good position to trade back if someone else wanted to move into that spot and take a quarterback.
  11. Mr. Scot
    That includes Cam Newton, of course. Picking a quarterback high and sticking with him doesn't exactly seem to be a common practice right now.
  12. Mr. Scot
    Nobody's accused them of being smart.
  13. Mr. Scot
    New board software has been a little weird for a lot of people.
  14. Mr. Scot
    I don't doubt that we offered first round pick. But something along that level? Yikes!
  15. Mr. Scot
    It's already been reported that they're willing to let him sit out the season, fine him and go after his signing bonus.
  16. Mr. Scot
    Not sure who you meant to quote there but I'm not the one who said that.
  17. Mr. Scot
    From what I've been reading, unwillingness to take on Goff's contract was what was holding up the deal. When the Rams offered enough that the Lions relented, that's when it happened.
  18. Mr. Scot
    I seriously doubt that matters to the Texans. Word out of Houston was that they would have already been looking for an "unprecedented" deal if they relented. This news isn't going to change that. More likely it reinforces it.
  19. Mr. Scot
    Mike Sando pointed out that while the Rams are giving up a third rounder as part of the deal, they'll be getting two compensatory thirds because of the Lions hiring Brad Holmes.
  20. Mr. Scot
    Multiple sources saying what helped seal the deal is that the Lions were willing to help the Rams get Jared Goff's contract off their books. That allowed the Rams to offer more than other teams were willing to do.
  21. Mr. Scot
    A lot of people aren't convinced that the Texans can be talked into trading Watson at all (I'm dubious myself). But after seeing what the Lions got for Stafford today, if they do, the price is gonna be obscene.
  22. Mr. Scot
    I wouldn't have offered that much. But in this case, the Rams are also helping out a guy that used to work for them.
  23. Mr. Scot
    That's what I was looking at yesterday. Won't surprise me if somebody from one of the other teams that was looking to acquire Stafford grumbles to the league about the quid pro quo here. Don't know that anything would come of it but could definitely see the complaint being made.
  24. Mr. Scot
    If Stafford went for a package like this, the Texans will be in position to demand a deal that involves numerous first round picks, your firstborn and your immortal soul. And that's if they even agree to trade him (which I'm not convinced they will). There's no way I can see us making that deal now.
  25. Mr. Scot
    Rams guy who drafted Goff becomes GM of the Lions... Lions agree to part ways with Matthew Stafford... Honeymoon is over between the Rams and Goff... Lions GM calls his old team... Rams get a QB better equipped to run their system... Lions get a former number one overall pick plus a ridiculous compensation package... Wow
