Mandatory Credit: Lionstampa Detroit Lions huddle
When the LA Rams traded with the Detroit Lions, the focus of the trade centers upon the value of Lions’ quarterback Matthew Stafford. In the days leading up to the trade, the instant analysis, and the post-trade grades and analysis, the exchange appears as though the Rams acquired Stafford, and the Detroit Lions needed at least one first-round pick to accept the salary dump of Jared Goff.
But wait a minute…
Goff was more than a bench warmer. He has been a very successful quarterback in the NFL, and over the course of his young career has accomplished more than Carson Wentz.
