“I Love It!” Rich Eisen on the Rams Trading Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford | 2/1/21

[@JonCofer]

Been listening to Rich Eisen talk about sports since I was 10 and it's still one of my favorite things

[@Veaseify]

Because the Lions have been bad for so long a lot of people really don't think Stafford is any good despite the fact he leads all QB's in 4th Quarter comebacks and game winning drives since 2011. The Rams will give him every chance to succeed, I hope he takes it because he is one of my favourite guys in the NFL (not a Lions fan).

Detroit never built a good team around Stafford. I hope he gets a SB ring. He deserves it. “(Since 2014) Brady, Brees, Big Ben in fourth-quarter, two-minute kind of game-changing drives, they’ve done it 11 times (each), where they’ve taken the lead. Matt Ryan’s done 13. Matthew Stafford’s done it 20 times. 20 times. That’s a third of the games he’s played in, in that span. That’s nuts. The greater stat: He’s had 24 chances to do it, he’s done it 20 out of 24, and one of those times was Calvin Johnson’s fumble in Seattle.” The thing about this stat is the Rams will not put Matthew Stafford in the position to force him to come from behind with two minutes left.

Lions fan here, good trade for both teams but mark this down: Matt Stafford will get The Rams to a Super Bowl. People see Stafford as a good but not great QB and it's entirely because he played for The Lions. His arm, accuracy and decision making were top-5 in the league since he was drafted. He simply played for the most inept franchise in The NFL. He had ZERO run game to help him in his career. A single 1000 yard rusher (R. Bush) and Detroit averaged less than 100 rushing yards a game in Stafford's tenure here. I watched game after game where 4-3 defenses would line 3 DL and just drop the rest into coverage AND STILL GET PRESSURE. Stafford had to throw into packed secondaries while constantly fleeing for his life. Then when he had Calvin Johnson he was given a defense that couldn't stop a dying snail. Stafford is a top-7 QB in the league TODAY. Give him a defense, decent coaching and he'll show it. Also, Detroit had to reset and rebuild with a new QB. Good trade for both.

Rams will be tough next year.

[@JDKEMP65]

Nobody seems to mention the rams will be able to resign a couple of very good players they would have lost Johnson and Floyd with the Goff contract gone

[@ronhobbz1114]

I love this guy

[@Simply323]

There are issues with Goff that the organization would not share. If they are getting rid of him now, then it is for some outstanding reasons. I wish him all the best, but the Rams should be contending for a Super Bowl for the next three seasons. If Stafford could put up his numbers with a dysfunctional organization like the Detroit Leons, he should bloom like a rose in LA.

This aged well

And Boy were they RIGHT at the GO of this Baby !!!!!!!

[@ramonachavez1458]

Love the "best dad ever" .....😀😀😀

[@TCT24]

The Rams only do this because the picks that they make, actually end up panning out for them. For example: Cooper Kupp, Cam Akers, Gerald Everett, John Johnson, John Franklin - Myers, and Darrell Henderson. These guys aren’t superstars, but they get the job done.

[@_SC00T]

I think it’s safe to say Cooper Kupp is a superstar

[@buddygass3728]

Except kupp best WR In the league

[@davidcarrow5419]

Matt Stafford will be the greatest 5-11 quarterback the Rams ever had

[@brothergrimaldus3836]

How'd that age?

[@elimanning6231]

Lol

[@iKrawwd]

How did this age out since he won the SB?

[@littlesame]

Hot take fizzled too soon

[@ubilo]

Stafford has a great arm, but no mobility. I hop he can finally win a Super Bowl.

[@tolulopeonas]

Just sitting here thinking 😂😂

[@Steve_643]

I don’t think the Rams offense was more talented than Detroit’s. They had better coaching and a effective running game that’s what makes them a better offense. The Defense is what made the Rams good

[@keithingram452]

Why is no one bringing up Hebert and the Chargers? This had to play into the decision as well. Now, with Stafford, the Rams maintain their status as LA's number one team. The Goff situation is one of the stupidest signings ever. 100 million? No way.

[@novchild1968]

Go back and look at 2014 and tell me Statford never had a team around him 🤣

[@edwardandra9724]

Went 11-5 and should of won playoff game against Dallas, Refs blew that one!

[@novchild1968]

@@edwardandra9724 definitely a bad call but the lions scored 3 points in the second half plus Statford had the ball in his hands twice after that bad call and couldn’t do a thing when it mattered

[@eddie341]

Kinda funny to see Rams fans all of a sudden think Stafford’s the best qb ever. Just a few months ago you all thought he sucked.

[@landensimpkins4904]

No he has always been top 10 or bored line top 10 he was just in Detroit

[@loulopez554]

That's great but anything less than a super bowl win and the Rams fail.

[@Daveglorious]

The rams tried to win “right now” 2 years ago. And they didn’t. So now both Snead and McVay are gambling.

[@3333biltrite]

The Glorious They got to the SB. What did your team do?

[@Daveglorious]

@@3333biltrite the Rams are my team big bro. What I’m saying is Les Snead is a gambler. And they’re running out of money. Why did they even give Goff the contact? Maybe that’s just the business.

[@ramptower7487]

Lions fans were BEGGING Barry and Calvin to leave for better teams and finally get to win.

[@dexdorrey9834]

Matthew Stafford =/= Barry Sanders or Calvin Johnson Barry Sanders: NFL MVP, 2x Offensive Player of the Year, 10x All-Pro, 6x First team, 10x Pro Bowler, 4x NFL Rushing Leader, 1x NFL TD Leader, 10x Pro Bowler Calvin Johnson: 5x All-Pro, 3x First team, 2x NFL receiving yards leader, 1x NFL receptions leader, 1x NFL receiving TDs leader 6x Pro Bowler Matthew Stafford: 1-time Pro Bowler, Most passing attempts in NFL history, Most passing yards through who-cares-how-many-games.

[@cameronclark3927]

I’m a diehard lion fans and got sick of all the excuses Stafford got from people. He was a average qb I’ve watched all his starts for 12 years national media like rich doesn’t watch the lions week in and week out like us fans do. Stafford a majority of his stats where in garbage time down 20 stat padford
