Motown Bombers

I remember the old forum had a sub forum for trading cards. I think we are going to have to bring that back now so we can all trade our Trump cards.

I don't trade up. I trade down if anything unless it costs very little like last year when they jumped from 32 to 12. I suspect the asking price will be steep.

This reminds me of the scene in The Office where Dunder Mifflin is attempting to buyout Michael and Charles wants Dwight to be the lead man and then he talks about using bees. Charles had this image of Dwight and was completely let down. Same vibes here.

The Bears have the worst pass rush in the league. No way they pass on Anderson. Seattle also has a poor offensive line. I see more mocks mocking a QB to Detroit than Seattle. Guess more people think Geno Smith is the real deal. It would be a bummer if Anderson and Carter are off the board. I would try to trade out to a team like Carolina.

We're on the same page here. There's something I just don't like about McVay. He's got that Patricia type arrogance but he actually wins. I feel like he's the type if the Rams continue to lose that players will turn on him but I also think he is the type to bail before it gets to that point.

I agree with that assessment. I feel, though, after you committed the amount of money you did to Goff and basically signal he is your franchise QB, you should adapt your system to him. That doesn't seem like great coaching to me.

Ben Johnson built his system around Goff instead of forcing Goff into his system. One would think an offensive genius like McVay would do that.

I didn't pay much attention to those Fisher teams but just assumed it was because he was a rookie and only played 7 games. I do seem to recall talks of bust and some reluctance to play him.

Guess we just going to keep regurgitating Goff benefited greatly from McVay and ignore what he's doing now.

I also find it interesting all the blame goes on Goff and McVay is heralded as a great coach. One day you're going to the Super Bowl with Goff and giving him a massive contract and two years later you are recruiting a new QB in Cabo and paying Goff to go away.

You can say this about any position on the field. You can say it about RT. It's really about whether a QB is a significant improvement over Goff. I don't think there is a significant improvement in this draft. There are significant improvements on the defensive side of the ball.

I guess if you are saying he benefited greatly with the Rams because of McVay, than what explains Goff playing at the same level he was in 17-18? McVay is out of the equation now.

I looked it up and Ben Johnson or Dan Campbell have never appeared to work for McVay at any point. Weird.

I've never said the Lions should or shouldn't draft a QB. I'm saying there are reasons to believe Goff can be the future QB. You can say the same thing with about 90% of the QBs in the league. I also wouldn't draft a QB because of the rookie contract. if they are good they need to get paid eventually.

Go **** off

It's weird because it gets dismissed when it's brought up that Goff went to a Super Bowl as well. No one addresses Stafford's decline this year. Even though he wasn't performing well when Kupp and Robinson were healthy and I cannot imagine the Rams were any worse than the Lions teams he played on. The qualifiers work for Stafford but not for Goff. It's been clear that the comparison I have been doing between Goff and Stafford were in their career trajectories. Try to do better and actually address the points made. My point is a GM would be delusional if he thinks a QB prospect is Mahomes since one hasn't come around since and one never existed before. The same GM who drafted Mahomes also drafted Baker Mayfield over Josh Allen. It was part good evaluation and part luck.

So does McVay have a lot to do with Goff's success now? What about Stafford having the lowest QB rating since 2014?

I don't know if he is actually trying to be self-deprecating or not. The dinner is a combo meal at McDonalds.

I wonder if we are going to get some Dark Brandon trading cards?

Holy shit there is a commercial. I'm surprised it took him this long to get on on the NFT scam.
