Stephen A.

Is this trade good or bad for the Rams?

I don't think it's bad.

I don't think now their decision making is a bit questionable, and I understand that.

Nevertheless, I still say it wasn't that bad.

And here's the reason why I've got the number one defense in the National Football League.

I got a coach that's 1 67% of his games and has taken them to the playoffs three or four years.

He's been there with a winning record every single year.

They believe they have the pieces around a good quarterback toe win it all.

So you went all in.

Now if match the effort was a guy that's gonna play one more year and then they will be done.

I got it, but is a quarterback that you see as your starting quarterback in all likelihood for the next five years.

Worth a couple of first round picks, meaning late first round picks, I would say year at the quarterback position.

And that is why I don't have a problem with Matthew Stafford, with the Rams making the decision that they made to get Matthew Stafford.

Yeah, I think it was a bad trade.

Now I think there would be better in the short run, at least cause Stafford's better than golf, right?

And that's the only player they gave up.

But the Rams best players.

Aaron Donald.

You don't find him in the second or third round period.

You find guys like Aaron Donald high up in the first round, and when's the next time they're gonna pick in the first round like 2024 25?

You know this has got to work.

They took a good quarterback, and they're hoping he'll be great in the right situation.

And my point is, they better be right guys, it just seems to me golf plus two firsts and a third is a lot to pay for Stafford.

It looks to me like they played poker and lost.

Yeah, listen, this is about war, right wins above replacement.

He hasn't been worth that many wins in Detroit above his replacement.

Is he going to be worth that many wins over Jared Golf?

Who took you to a Super Bowl already?

I I don't love this trait.

I think it's kind of, And Mike Tannenbaum called it irresponsible this morning on Get up.

You use first rounders to get Pro Bowlers.

I get it.

And so you feel like you feel like that.

You have a first round?

Not if not only first round talent.

A Pro Bowl caliber talent in Matthew Stafford.

If you don't win the Super Bowl in the next three years, this trade killed your team because you don't have first round picks.

You'll never get to rebuild.

It's this team or nothing, and I don't know if they'll have what it takes to win it all.

Well, if they get to the Super Bowl, but they don't necessarily winning if they get to some NFC championship games, I'm not gonna consider that a failure that with golf.

But you did it once, you know.

Did you know that?
