    2021 NFL offseason trade rankings: Rams’ push for Matthew Stafford headlines most impactful deals in offseason

    The Rams do have a Super Bowl-ready roster, and now they have a quarterback with enough talent to lead it. They had to pay dearly to pick up Stafford while also dumping Jared Goff’s contract, and because they have such a star-laden team, that lack of depth could hurt them in future years. Their chance to win is right now. This year and next. That’s why the deal for Stafford was the most important swap this offseason.

    On the latest episode of the “Flying Coach” podcast with Peter Schrager, Rams coach Sean McVay shared what he looks for in a quarterback and what makes a great one.

    …

    “If you said, when do the really rare quarterbacks express themselves especially nowadays? It might be in the framework of the pocket when things go outside the rhythm of the play. Tom [Brady] does it differently than Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are doing it, but all of which is beautiful and makes them elite at what they do,” McVay said. “You see some of the things and I’ve talked a lot about the excitement with Stafford. That’s one of the things I’m excited about him is, when it breaks down, getting through progressions, being able to move and manipulate, keep your eyes down the field.”

    Pro Football Focus’ Ben Linsey ranked every roster in the NFL ahead of the 2021 season and at No. 7 were the Rams, sandwiched between the sixth-ranked Packers and No. 8 Cowboys.

    …

    Linsey’s choice for the team’s biggest weakness is no surprise: inside linebacker. He expects it to be “one of the weaker groups across the league,” with no clear-cut starter at the position. Micah Kiser, Troy Reeder, Kenny Young, Travin Howard and Ernest Jones will all compete for snaps, but there’s no surefire starter among them.

    And then there’s the Rams’ x-factor for 2021, which comes down to Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford, of course.

    Since Sean McVay took over as the Rams’ head coach in 2017, Los Angeles has had the ninth-most efficient offense in the league, according to expected points added per play. Jared Goff flashed high-end play when things were running smoothly but struggled to improvise and elevate McVay’s offense. The Rams bet two first-round picks that Matthew Stafford can. Stafford graded in the 73rd percentile of qualifying quarterbacks when under pressure last season, while Goff finished in just the 14th percentile.

    from The best offseason move for all 32 NFL teams: https://theathletic.com/2671771/2021/06/29/matthew-stafford-to-the-rams-julio-jones-to-the-titans-the-best-offseason-move-for-all-32-nfl-teams/?source=twitterhq

    Los Angeles Rams

    The Rams — and especially head coach Sean McVay — pushed their chips all the way in on another Super Bowl run, or at least believe they have, in trading for Matthew Stafford and shipping out former first overall pick Jared Goff. McVay believes Stafford will elevate the offense in ways that include activating eligible receivers at a more efficient rate and becoming more explosive both vertically and horizontally in the passing game. Adding a veteran quarterback who has been to a wild-card game just three times in a 13-year career might seem like a risk, but in Stafford, McVay believes he has found a collaborator in his offense and someone who can execute his vision. — Jourdan Rodrigue
