PFT points out that the Rams don't have a first round pick to offer.

Makes me think they'd have to give the Lions something else of value.

Like maybe...I dunno...

 

that works for the Rams...

but if you are the Lions why would you want Goff instead of picks?

Well remember, the Rams don't have a first rounder.

But also, remember who the Lions hired their GM from?

I’d take next year’s first instead of Goff

Colts are involved

Agreed. The Colts would be the best landing spot for Stanford.

Perhaps, but you're not the former college scouting director who was part of a braintrust that believed Goff was not only deserving of the number one overall pick, but also worth the additional picks that it took to trade into that spot.

The guy who does fit that description? He's GM of the Lions right now.

So the Lions are all in on getting worse? How fun!

Well again, Brad Holmes probably doesn't see it that way.

Maybe he believes a different situation and a new coaching staff will make the difference.

Also possible that having a quarterback he doesn't have to coach up so much might appeal to Sean McVay.

Stafford for Goff would be ideal for us as it would likely take Detroit out of selecting a 1st round QB.

or maybe Detroit doesn't want Goff at all, doesn't make sense for a team looking to rebuild.  Maybe Rams find a 3rd team to take Goff.

The Lions would want Goff...with THAT contract? 

They'd have to give up Goff AND a 1st rounder(that they don't have).

I get why Holmes would see it that way, you make a great connection on why this could happen, it just doesn't look like a very good path to improving by trading for a worse QB with a worse contract. This just looks like a win for the Rams and the Lions one step back under 'new management'. If I was a Lions fan, I would see this as a huge downgrade.

If we sign Trubisky then I will have to turn in my Panthers fan badge.  I said signing Bridgewater last year was a huge mistake. Please do not double down on these flier deals on QBs that are, at best, back-ups.

Wildly inconsistent and inaccurate QB ? 

 

Hope he isn't expecting anything promises. Not even a roster spot.
