@JCE_123456@bosscherben Youโre allowed to disagree and I respect your opinion, but doing nothing leads to the same destination minus the rarely piece. I will go back to the trade for Stafford by the Rams. Big swing, 2 firsts and Goff after reaching the Super Bowl the previous yearโฆwon it.
Where did they rank the first half with a healthy Jack Campbell and captain of your defense, Doc? We played 1 good team in the last 4 and I give them all the credit against Green Bay. Itโs okay to want to be better and I think when you look around the league (and in our own division) at teams in the offseason who get better or at the trade deadline who get better, donโt you have the same expectation? You donโt always improve through the draft. You miss, more than you hit. Look at 2024. First rounders should be immediate impact type players, dare I say even second? The rest? Youโre hoping that you hit or with development they become something, which does happen, but you also miss more than you hit. I understand at the trade deadline youโre always going to overpay, but if you truly believe your team is a piece or 2 away from a superbowl and you can improve those odds? Why not swing. Windows do exist, ours is shrinking.
Exactly, we knew we needed help on the defensive side of the ball, especially opposite hutch, and we traded for Zadarius for a 5th and a 6th. We had the same exact issue on the defensive side of the ball in the nfc championship game. My point being, if you seriously believe you can win a superbowl, you make bold movies. The rams did it with the stafford trade, Eagles make bold moves, etc,. Even Calvin Johnson came out and said you canโt bargain bin and be afraid to make the moves necessary to go all in, especially when you have a good core. That doesnโt mean trading 2 3rd round picks on draft night for a WR who hardly impacts the game because you missed out on Puka Nacua the year prior
