[@kaptainkush4351]

Didn't the whole of the media, and talking heads, say goff's contract with the Rams was ridiculous! . Now it's pay everyone early! Good god you guys are just click bait. Mike, you have a problem. Chris at least you have a balanced show with amhed. Sometimes you have to move away from your friends because they start to drag you down.

[@je9950]

Even intelligent lions fans know Stafford is a better qb. We love Goff and his fit within this new offense, but Stafford has always been borderline elite.

[@cap2205]

Any fan who roots for the player and not the laundry knows. I wished goff all the luck in the world when he was traded and genuinely happy for him but you can't tell me staff didn't outplay him in that WC game by a mile

[@je9950]

That's a weird game to cite as Staff outplaying Goff. They were both equally instrumental in keeping their teams alive until the 4th. Even the stats from that game prove it.

[@cap2205]

@@je9950 who cares about stats? Outside of the two scripted drives at the beginning of the game and the one after the half, Goff was efficient but pedestrian. Stafford was putting the ball in keyholes and had several highlight plays. It was the difference between a well oiled offense vs a QB putting the team on his back

[@respectablegoose6453]

Florio was definitely dropped on his head a lot growing up.

[@Randy4me]

He deserves a raise no doubt. To ensure his longevity the Rams are heavily investing in the run game. I'm sure Stafford had fun handing the ball off to Kyren Williams last year. Takes away a lot of the pressure and he can just go out there and sling it on play action.

[@darrellwiley7874]

That was the most stafford statline I’ve seen since he was with my lions😂 guys don’t forget we went 11-5 in 2014-15 and then went like 4-12 and then 6-10 for like 3 years after the ‘15 season lol

[@TheCountofToulouse]

Hey, where did your defenses rank in all that time? Why can someone lead the league in TD's and yards and the team STILL LOSE? It's almost like the Lions made a HABIT or wasting HOF talent and never surrounding it with the complete team to win. I think BARRY SANDERS and CALVIN JOHNSON said it best, the Lions are not about trying to WIN.

You have no idea what it was like to watch his talent be wasted & watch him give games away with stupid picks that should’ve just been a punt.

[@jamiedean8663]

Detroit is the hot team now he should be paid more than Stafford , let him get the rams winning again and then maybe alittle more money the rams messed up trading. Period

[@SuperReviews4you]

If Stafford wants a fully guaranteed deal they should guarantee those remaining 2 years but no extension. I think Stafford is going to want a raise, an extension, and more guaranteed money which the Rams just should not do. Why extend him when the 36 year old QB probably only has 2 years at peak performance.

[@elisabethyildirim226]

Truth should always win!!!!!!

[@PipeMan1958]

Since the Stafford, Goff trade, Goff over all stats are better then Stafford's.

[@rayplaysgames_RPG]

The stats since the trade are identical. The difference is goff has a much better supporting cast.

[@victorluna1147]

They’re actually pretty identical…. Biggest difference is games played goff has played in like 7 or 8 more games, Stafford does have more ints tho, but he also won a SB so u gotta give that to him

[@alexanderabrew1470]

You don’t really think he’s better

[@victorluna1147]

@@alexanderabrew1470 I mean he’s gotten better, the guy he is now isn’t the one the rams got rid of. I’m not gonna ignore how terrible he was his first year in Detroit either. He needs a good team a lot of QB’s do. He was good with us when we were loaded he’s good now cuz the lions are talented. He’s an elite game manager ( this term has a negative connotation, but I personally see it as a guy who doesn’t play hero ball and play smart Brady was a game manager) but the second there pressure, he’s statistically one of the worst if not thee worst QB’s in the NFL. All QB’s suck under pressure but when ur one of the worst ur jus prone to stupid mistakes.

[@jabs0907]

Stafford got a ring, Goff got a sb lost. Keep telling me how Goff is better tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣 rams nation ain't missing nothing

[@RMartian76]

Stafford sucks. He’s good, not great, and if not for Tart dropping an INT in the NFC Championship, he would never have gotten that Super Bowl. It was an awful throw right to a defender. That’s Stafford. He’s a “gunslinger” which often creates more problems than it solves.

[@rzawistowski33]

Herbert is overpaid

[@artmeddaugh6669]

Stafford 2023: Record 9-6, 0-1 in playoffs; missed 2 games. 62.6% completion %, 3,965 yards passing, 24 TD's and 11 picks. Goff 2023 Record 12-5 regular season; 2-1 in playoffs. 67.3% completion %, 4,575 yards passing, 30 TD's and 12 picks.

Goff 2022: Record 9-8. 65.1 completion %, 4,438 yards passing, 29 TD's and 7 picks. Goff's numbers are overall better than Stafford's last season. He doesn't miss games due to injury like Stafford does, and he's younger. Sorry, Simms, you're wrong...again.

No guaranteed money anymore! To anyone! You play you get paid! You don't you won't! That's how i would approach this if i was rams! Remember Todd Gurley? He cost millions even after he left! You would think the rams would learn from that!😮

[@williambregon7914]

🤣🤣🤣

[@lafan4801]

Stafford has never missed a serious payday since draft day with mixed results overall. He’s paid fine considering he is super wealthy already and depends heavily on Snead to give him a stacked team.

[@TheCountofToulouse]

Mixed results? Why. If Goff is the QB for the Rams, they DO NOT even GET to the Super Bowl and even if they DID, they LOSE it. Goff cannot throw a NO look pass with the game on the line and the team is down to backups and ONE good WR to WIN a title. Goff is the king of HOE HUM, the master of "oh well". Stafford WANTS to win, Goff acts like it's something that just happens sometimes.

[@TheCountofToulouse]

I know, everyone is playing this game saying "Oh, well, Goff got us a playoff win...so...duh..." when it's really not that cut and dry. Goff also was the QB in the LOWEST scoring SB by any offense in NFL history. Goff is as nice guy but he's not a stud, he's not taking ownership, he's a bit player and he's proven his ceiling. Stafford is WAY above Goff and any football expert would say so, assuming their not one of these "woke" commie activists, like Florio.

[@albaestrada8603]

Stafoord is old and injury prone and probably doesbt have many years left. Guy made so muvh miney already. This is ridiculous for him to pull this now and become a diva. Feels like rams were closing in on being a contender abd he is doing this crap now

[@Honestly__now]

Goff is better than Stafford. Stafford is old and makes too many dumb decisions. He was objectively worse in the playoff game and has never won a playoff game except one magic year

[@BeeH819]

We’ll see his Vikings this season. He needs to worry about who’s gonna be their starting QB in MIN instead worrying about Stafford.

[@kennethtarlow]

Are guys just into drama, either they will work out their differences or they won't who cares lets talk football

[@quintenruckman3505]

Everybody LOVES this guy now! He’s one of the luckiest QBs in NFL history!! He should be sending Tartt a monthly stipend for dropping one of the easiest INTs in recent hstory!!!

[@TheCountofToulouse]

People can play that 'if's and buts' game all day long but at the end of the game, the 9ers were the LOSERS. Does that still burn?

[@quintenruckman3505]

Not at all! My team has beat them TWICE in SUPERBOWLS!!

[@yahcrack]

😂

[@gilgarza9599]

Its a complete joke how these guys are talking as if that’s how stafford is thinking. They want nothing more than to create a narrative that has nothing to do with reality. The rams already gave stafford n extension and he’s sitting on 2 years left with no guaranteed money. They’ve showed stafford nothing but respect and will continue to do right by him. It’s been talked about year in and year out on account of injuries and how he feels moving forward. Florio and sims gotta be the biggest clowns in the analyst game. Ask Aaron Donald how they treated him not stl Louis. Who gives 2 💩about St. Louis they were never going to be there forever. Get over it

[@ricdale7813]

Yeah he is gonna want more than Goff got. He's deserves it but Rams gotta commit too protection and more protection $$$. Matt is in his last few seasons physically and he is one or 2 bad hits away from a hand,thumb and shoulder injury that has sidelined him for stretches in seasons past. The guy is Worth it but I'm not sure he has 4 seasons left in his tank honestly.

Seattle, Tennessee or Dallas off the top of my head after the season is over. Stafford grew up in Texas and might take cheaper than Dak’s 59.4 million dollars this season to retire in his hometown.
