I forgot to add:

I think Goff will embrace being in Detroit. I think he'll have a chip on his shoulder. I think doesn't give a damn about Detroit's reputation. Also, I bet he'll do well playing in cold weather games despite his "small hands."

Detroit plays in a dome so the cold shouldn't matter in home games.

Also his last two games were a road playoff game in Seattle in January where he outplayed Russell Wilson and the snow game in Lambeau where he completed 78% of his passes, I don't think the cold weather will make that much of a difference

hanky1: did he upgrade his team? No, that's pretty clear. But he did upgrade his OL, arguably his receivers if Jones and Golladay re-sign, and Hockenson is a better TE than either Higbee or Everett. What really makes it a better situation though is that in LA he got trashed after leading them to the Super Bowl and Stafford got a pass for going 0-3 in playoff games (and being pretty mediocre in general). Now their roles are reversed, if Stafford has a playoff performance in LA like he did with Detroit he'll be the one taking heat. If Jared wins even a single playoff game with the Lions he'll be a living legend in Detroit. That's what really makes it a better situation, not the team quality because the Rams are contenders (or near enough) and the Lions aren't

That's why as a former life long Raiders fan I am perfectly psychologically suited to attach my fandom to a loser organization. But boy, when I was young, 1966 to 1976 was a good decade to have Raider season tickets with your family. The days before tail gates serving meth and OE 40s and you believed, with good cause, that the Raiders would win every game.

Yes, I was at both of those games. In the excitement of the Heidi game I actually dislocated my right shoulder! Raider games were tough!

Quote:

With the start of the league year six weeks away and one high-profile trade in the books, the looking has begun in full force. There will be covetous gazes from coast to coast, as possibly unobtainable passers like Rodgers, Watson and Prescott -- along with many others who could likely be pried away for the right price, and a crop of draft-eligible newbies -- get the once-over from GMs and coaches hoping to replicate that celebratory moment Licht and Arians had last March, with the promise of a much more joyous one come Super Sunday.

"It's been such a copycat league forever," Licht said. "But I don't know. None of these quarterbacks you're talking about have won six Super Bowls."

That just goes to show how drafting a QB in round 1 is such a crapshoot.

That plus unreasonable expectations. Either you are a 'Brady' or you are garbage.
