at the end of the 2021 season, when the rams are in the super bowl and the cowboys have finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the fourth time in dak’s six years, maybe some of you mouth-breathers will change your tune on whether or not we should’ve made a run at stafford. keeping dak is settling for mediocrity. it’s cowardly and beneath the standard for america’s team.

He's been in the league how long and not one single division title or even a playoff win. Can't think of any QB in league history that was good who didn't even have one or both of these. And he played with Calvin Johnson. He's a very poor man's Tony Romo and that isn't a compliment.

Anyone saying that Stafford took 2 Firsts to get is not really looking at this correctly..  The price was a first, a 3rd, and they too Goff and his contract off their hands for an extra 1st. And these first rounders are years away from Detroit using them.

Exactly. It was an NBA trade. Stafford is worth a 1st and a 3rd. The extra 1st was “please take this god awful contract off our hands”. It’s like what the Texans did when they traded Brock Osweiler and his bad contract to the browns for a 2nd round pick.
 

It’s a great move for the Lions, and it’s a bold move for the Rams. I personally think it makes the Rams the favorites in the NFC, but if Stafford gets seriously injured like he’s known to do, that’s just a brutal trade for the Rams. It’ll be interesting to see what Stafford can do with a running game for the first time in his career, and an offensive mind like McVay. It is hilarious though to see how they’re trying to squeeze everything they can out of this 2-3 year window. They haven’t made a first round pick since they drafted Goff in 2016, and they won’t have one until 2023. That’s fucking wild.

[Hate 20,167]

Goff is that bad.  He's a one read QB.  If you make him think at all he ca be easily beaten.  The SB run was built on the running game and play action pass.  If he has to go to the second or third option, he will get sacked, and half the time he doesn't protect the ball well in the pocket.  There are easily 20 better QBs in the league than Goff. 

[Catdaddyhorn 3,448]

17 months ago McVay and Snead signed off on Goff receiving a record breaking contract only to surmise in the last couple weeks that they can't win with him. I guess it doesn't matter because if Stafford isn't what they hope he is they won't last past the end of his contract, but the wide gulf between those 2 conclusions over the span of 17 months makes me question their judgement.

Yes, I think Stafford is a clear upgrade. I’m not convinced that McVay is all that great, and the Rams are fucked if they can’t win a title in the next 3 years. 

I don’t necessarily think Goff is as bad as some, but when Goff was good, gurley was the best running back in the league. You can say this about a lot of guys, but he’s a classic example of a guy that desperately needs to have play action to take pressure off of him. Stafford has never been that guy. Stafford is easily a top 10 guy when healthy.

I know this is just me viewing things through my cowboys glasses, but I really do think they were trying to beat us to the punch and pay Goff before we paid dak. I think that’s why the Eagles rushed to pay wentz too. They didn’t want to kick the can down the road and make the same mistake that we’re making

I hear you and like you I don't think Goff is an inadequate QB, but even at the time of his signing there were skeptics about his ability given the way he absolutely sucked under the previous regime and the fact that it was well known that McKay quickly got them out of huddles and up to the line to specifically coach him through his pre-snap decisions before the allotted headset time lapsed.

That's not totally true. We would of course have to work with Dak's agent to get him to sign, but we could work with him in a trade to his preferred destination and get something back if he signed the franchise tag.  Basically an NFL version of the sign and trade practices of the NBA.

Cowboys trade Dak and 3 firsts to the Jags for 1st overall pick.  Urban gets a guy who already knows his offense and makes a super bowl run.

I would rather have Mahomes, Rodgers, Allen, Brady, Ryan, Carr, Prescott, Stafford, Watson, Cousins, Big Ben, Murray, Wilson, Wilson, Mayfield, Burrows, Jackson, Jones, and Wentz than Goff. Switch any of those players to the Rams and the Adams are better off. Put Goff onto any of those other teams and those teams are immediately worse.


I agree Detroit made a great trade as they were clearly not getting any better with Stafford. I don’t think Stafford was the problem in Detroit, but I think this was the right time for both to go their separate ways.

[Hate 20,167]

We’ll see. I think he is a backup QB within the next year or two.

And I’m not sure what you mean by a “mystery Wilson”. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say that Russell Wilson is better than Goff.

Before this season I haphazardly viewed Watson as a guy who lived on off-schedule plays and didn't demonstrate above average proficiency for delivering on schedule and consistently going through his progressions. He proved me wrong this year. He literally had the best year a QB on an atrocious team has ever had. He was 2nd in the league in qb rating, 1st in yards, threw 33 TDs against 7 INTs, and 3rd behind Rodgers and Brees (who missed 4 games) in completion % at 70%.  At 25, he's up there with all the other elite guys IMO and it really demonstrates the all-time organizational suck for his team to be this bad despite his outstanding play.

I don't disagree with Detroit wanting to move on from Stafford. 12 years and not one playoff win or even a division title. He blew a 14pt lead to Dallas in the playoffs. Lost a game at home in 2016 to GB that would have won the division and got them their first ever home game in the playoffs since they played us in 1991. Lost that. He chokes when it matters and they need new life. But to trade for Goff? Terrible. He is young and that is really the only thing he has on Stafford. Goff is the product of how good McVay is. Goff had no idea how to read a defense. He would look to McVay to make the adjustments and listen to him in his ear. And where to go with the ball. McVay knew he got all he could from him and there was no future. You can't baby a QB for his whole career.

My only question is why did the Rams extend Goff for a big extension knowing this? Surely McVay had to give his input on Goff to the front office. He knows he isn't shit without his babying. Makes no real sense. I never saw Goff or Wentz as good QBs in that class. Both are below average.

Too bad our shit ass defense could not stop the run game against the Rams in 2018 playoffs and force Goff to pass it more. But when you gain over 300 on the ground, no need to pass. NE made him a deer in the headlights. They knew what McVay would do and purposely shift their defense after Goff lost contact with McVay in his ear. Bill put an end to that shit. And what happened? Goff didn't even lead one single TD drive. The same NE defense who gave up a shit ton to KC the game before.

I don't believe in Stafford at all and never thought he was more than average but curious to see how he is with McVay and what he can do with him.

Garbage time stats mean nothing to me. Watson and Dak are good, competent QBs. Neither is great at this point. 

Dude you're smarter than this. I would think that blithely claiming, garbage time stats, like a talk radio caller without a smidgen of data to back it up was below you, but then again maybe not. 

[Drew 2,695]

Once again, I would like to know when Garbage time stats count, and when they don't.  Because other than the Cleveland game, which was a 1 score game before the defense, unsurprisingly, gave up a mid field WR reverse for a TD, every other game Dak started was a close game the whole way(Rams), they had the lead in the game late before, of course, the defense gave up the final score(Seattle), they actually won miracle or not(Falcons), or had the lead in when he went down(Giants).

Where exactly were the garbage time stats?  When other QB's, like Watson, were racking up yards coming from behind or in shootout you don't hear "Garbage stats" Only when Dak is.  And ALL those games were winnable, mainly thanks to Dak, and lost BECAUSE of the Defense. 

 

Like really?

Watson >>>>>> Dak

[Drew 2,695]

No, he literally isn't, and all the metrics bear that out.

Is he better? Maybe? Probably.  I wouldn't argue that at all.

 

But saying he's significantly better than Dak is showing absolute bias based on perception(what you feel and the fact that 1 was a Top Pick and one wasn't).  Watson is going to have more highlight plays, when the pocket brakes down.  Dak is going to be much more consistent.

I stand by what I said.  Dak doesn't lose 12 games under similar circumstances, and if he does, we're running him out of town.  

[Hate 20,167]

Dak would have lost more than 12 games with that Texans roster this year. It was and is atrocious.  The only reason they won 4 games is because Deshaun can make plays.  Jesus, I know y'all want to be loyal to Dak because he is a Cowboy, but he isn't in the same conversation as Watson. 

[Catdaddyhorn 3,448]

You’re taking my comment too far. Dak and Watson statistics were aided by terrible defenses.  This is undeniable.  Also, both are good QBs.

I really don’t think Watson is elite yet. I think he’s good and so is Dak. Watson isn’t a cut above Dak. I’d likely take him over Dak, but that’s based on stats only. In the time I’ve watched him, I’m not impressed like I am with Mahomes, Rodgers, Wilson or even Allen. I don’t think he’s a top 5 QB. I think both are top 10, with Watson edging out Dak. 

Typically QBs who consistently play from behind rack up INTs because they're constantly taking risk. And  by that same token their completion % dips as well. Watson's lack of INTs and elite completion % scream out that he's anything but a QB who is racking #s during garbage minutes and his relatively high QBR metric tells me he is accumulating his numbers primarily when the game is still in doubt. Judging by some of these metrics and without looking at Texans game logs  I'd guess that they lost a more games where the defense gave up a late lead or late TDs to put them down by more than instances of him being down by multiple TDs and racking up stats that were totally meaningless.

Dak has elevated his game to the point where now he’s in ear shot of Watson. That’s because he’s had more stability and A LOT more around him. It’s given him a chance to grow and evolve as a player over his career. 
 

If there was ever a point where Watson had arguably the best rb in the league, and a top 5 offensive line for the majority of his career, watson would be Russell Wilson by now. Watson has dealt with a shit show for his entire career and he’s had to carry that organization from the moment he put on a Texans uniform. He hasn’t really been given a chance to grow as a player. He’s always just kinda had to wing it. IMO Watson’s ceiling is a lot higher than Dak’s.

For the record, I feel that exact same way about Josh Allen too, but we’ve only seen it for one year. But similar to Dak, as soon as josh Allen was given a number one wr, he was unlocked. He put an MVP caliber season, leading his team to one game away from the super bowl. I’ve heard plenty of cowboys homers talk like you’re talking right now, but it’s just not true. Not yet. Watson is better than Dak. I’m not gonna sit here and say I think he’s a lot better than Dak, but he’s a tier better than Dak. Any GM in America would say that. If Jerry thought Dak was as good as Watson he would’ve given him a blank check by now and said name your price. 
 

Its why we absolutely need to pay Dak before the bills pay Josh Allen. If that doesn’t happen, and this thing drags on past March, we’re fucked.

We are going to have to agree to disagree with this.  Watson does everything to elevate his teammates.  He is the sole reason for any success that franchise has sniffed over the last few years.  I'm not bashing Dak because I think you can win with him if everything else is in place, but Deshaun is on a different level than Dak.

Brandin Cooks was their #1 and he actually had an outstanding year.  He played in those games and had huge games down the stretch.  Texans had a bottom 3 defense by what measure?  I'm going to assume yardage which isn't the best way to judge defenses but they weren't good in any context, but neither were the Tennessee or Cincinnati (without Burrow) defenses Houston got to play.  Watson's a really good player, so not trying to dump on the guy, but he won 4 fucking games, 2 of which were against Jacksonville.  I like Watson and he's a fantastic talent, if he gets out of Houston he could take it up a level but he's not an elite guy..... not yet.  His QBR was exactly the same this season as it was when they were 11-5 last season, that's curious.

I think a case can be made we’ve seen Dak’s ceiling. I don’t see how he can improve his accuracy that much, and he isn’t going to get any more athletic. I’ve always thought one of Dak’s better traits was his decision making, so how much is he really going to get better at that. But I think he can maintain this level throughout the life of his contract, and if he does, I think it’s probably worth it.

Dak still has a ways to go in reading defenses, at the LOS and in play.  This is often done with game reps and film work and QBs, as they gather experience, generally get better at this.  At least the ones who stick around do.  How quickly he deciphers information, translates it and makes a decision can always get better as he understands things to look for better.  Dak is 27 years old.  He can absolutely get better and probably will.  Same with Watson but most of their potential improvement will be mental, not physical.  They were probably physically maxed out a few years ago.

Brandin Cooks was their #1 and he actually had an outstanding year.  He played in those games and had huge games down the stretch.  Texans had a bottom 3 defense by what measure?  I'm going to assume yardage which isn't the best way to judge defenses but they weren't good in any context, but neither were the Tennessee or Cincinnati (without Burrow) defenses Houston got to play.  Watson's a really good player, so not trying to dump on the guy, but he won 4 fucking games, 2 of which were against Jacksonville.  I like Watson and he's a fantastic talent, if he gets out of Houston he could take it up a level but he's not an elite guy..... not yet.  His QBR was exactly the same this season as it was when they were 11-5 last season, that's curious.

 

The Texans were in the bottom ten in the league for every defensive category (yards, ppg, dead last in rush yards, pass yards, turnovers).  The Texans lost 8 one score games (within 8 points).  If they have just an average defense they win a lot of those games.  And how does wide receiver have a big year?  When a QB has a big year.  I'm done arguing this point because you and Dr Beeper have your minds made up that somehow Watson isn't elite because he plays for one of the few franchises worse than the Cowboys.
