Stafford Traded to Rams for two 1st's, a 3rd, and Goff

Trade our #2 and Armstead for Stafford. Then trade Jimmy to the Pats for their #2. We free up the cap space to re-sign Trent Williams and Verrett, and others. Then use our 1st RD pick on a DE.

Just because Brady has played well doesn't mean Stafford will. No one is going to give up 2 firsts for an above average QB who is in his 30s.

I hope we can pull up these receipts of people not wanting Stafford.

I've screen capped a couple on the slim chance we trade for him and then he goes on to outperform Jimmy.

What outcome will that provide? Everybody will continue to post as they please without a single consequence. This is the internet.

Probably nothing, because if Stafford ends up here and plays well all of them will be posting in the official crow eating thread that will be made.

I mean that's fine. But literally every thread in the history of this website is littered with bad takes. Look at the Goff thread. Or Watson thread.

There's like three dudes who just don't like Stafford. Anybody else who is being painted as "anti-Stafford" just want a deal that makes sense. He's not some legendary guy. And he's never been as impactful as a guy like Watson. He's just this years decent vet QB that's available.

Only problem with Watson is that it'd cost two entire drafts of premium picks to get him. But it's a bit disingenuous to say he's a "decent vet," because that ignores that he's one of about five QBs in the entire NFL that can make the Mahomes-esque throws. He's a decent vet who has elite of the elite physical talent, and perhaps that could be unlocked with a great offensive coach. Then again, maybe what's upstairs will never fully click. But the physical talent is greater than his production - although the actual production makes him what you said: this year's decent vet QB.

Stafford is a slight improvement. That's not worth a first. Let alone multiple. Somebody else can have him for that price. Would much rather "overpay" for Watson.

Exactly. Vet QBs like Stafford are available via trade every year. This year we can stand to improve at QB so fans have turned Stafford into something he's not. He's fine. He has one elite trait. The rest is just okay. That's why he never lived up to his draft status. He's a good, not great QB.

Totally agree. 49ers fans are melting down about how much they are prepared to give away for Stafford, Watson or a high draft pick. Some ridiculous bounties are being suggested but two 1sts for Stafford would be completely insane.

Try this again:
Jamal Adams (and a 4th) cost two 1sts a 3rd and McDougald.

So the Stafford framework starts around there.

QB has a longer shelf life, age isn't as big a concern.

His only elite year was 11 years ago. Since then he has averaged 24.7 TDs and 11.9 INTs while going 61-74-1. You're not winning a Superbowl with Stafford as your QB.

Lol I think Stafford will cost more than some on here are suggesting—but Allbright seems off on this one. Adams is a much younger player and was coming of an all-pro season.

Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers... all recently had great seasons at age 37.

Stafford will be age 37 for the 2025 season. He definitely has at least five very, very good seasons left IMO.
