RBTP77: Blockbuster Trade - Jared Goff (& picks) for Matthew Stafford!

Episode 77 details (Goff & picks for Stafford, insane 2+ week timeline) Jared Goff and three draft picks have been traded to the Lions for Matthew Stafford. The Lions will receive the Rams’ third-round pick in 2021, their first-round pick in 2022 and their first-round pick in 2023 in what is the first exchange of former No. 1 overall picks in the common draft era (since 1967)The Lions are taking on the four years, $106.6M left on Jared Goff’s contract which was a MASSIVE part of this trade, and that’s the part that Les Snead said he was hung up on a few days ago. So, they got that part ironed out, then had to throw in 2 1st’s (which the Rams clearly don’t value) and one of their three comp picks from this year to sweeten the dealHow Matt Stafford fits into the Rams offense - Stafford has top-5 arm talent, he can throw outside of the numbers, he can change arm-angles, and has a massive edge athletically over Jared Goff. Matthew Stafford wants to push the ball down the field, and there’s no question that McVay wants to do the same thing.Matthew Stafford also is really good on the move and out of play-action, and can literally do everything out of structure. I think he has much better pocket awareness, can avoid defenders, can extend plays, and can convert long down and distances because of it. It’s going to create a much more efficient offenseGoff vs. Stafford head-to-head stats: deep passes of 20+ yards down the field, air yards per attempt, air yards per game, big-time throws, turnover-worthy plays, quarterback ratings, turnovers. Insane rollercoaster: 16-day timeline - 5 coaches and 2 front office members poached in roughly two weeks. Since, the Rams have hired two new coordinators in Morris & DeCamillis, and traded their $134M quarterback and former 1st overall pick to the Lions for Matthew Stafford -- who was the first overall pick back in 2009.
