Tried to trade for Stafford? That's a lie
No it really isn't a lie. McVay just beat him to the punch before he could make the trade:
Kyle Shanahan recalls the weekend he tried to trade for Matthew Stafford - Pride Of Detroit - okay no idea why that won't post as a link. The story is out there and it is very clear. Kyle didn't get the chance to make an offer cuz McVay beat him to the punch and he did it just a few doors away in Mexico to throw salt in the wounds
McVay didn't beat him to anything because Shanahan never wanted that career loser from Detroit. He was just being polite when talking about that scrub but that's it.
"A half an hour later, my buddy calls me.He's like, 'I'm just telling you, if you want Stafford, you need to get a hold of him right now.' I'm like, 'What do you mean? No, we just talked to people. I can sleep on this. We'll talk to him tomorrow.
And then 10 minutes later, it was all over."
Come back to reality.
Just random talk, the reality is he didn't want that overrated QB and got a much much better option in the draft. What a relief the niners didn't get that loser.
Just random talk? He's specifically talking about trying to get Stafford. That's exactly what they are talking about. More specifically, they are talking about discussing a trade with Detroit. There is nothing random about it.

Note: Presumably everyone here is glad McVay beat him to the punch (which is exactly what happened), allowing him to get the QB he wanted all along anyway: Trey Lance.
It's still random. Something like: "We want Buckner to be a 49ers for a long long time" while they were already discussing a trade. Or what about "Joe Staley said he will be back in 2020" when he alread told them he was going to retire.
What they say doesn't reflect reality. Just talk to make the Rams coach thing they actually wanted their bumass QB.
Why would Shanahan go out of his way to be nice to Stafford? What does it gain him or the 49ers? He could have simply chosen not to talk about it. The situation with Buckner is entirely different, as saying something like that inflates his trade value. Same thing with Staley. There was a strategic advantage for the team in how Staley and the 49ers handled the situation.
Who knows? The fact is that it was just talk without any context and they never wanted that garbage QB from Detroit. Maybe just trying to make McVay feel good with their new trash QB? who knows
Sounds more like you're grasping at straws because you desperately don't want to have to put your Limited Edition Jimmy G Super Stud Briefs in a yard sale.
EDIT - and before you get your feelings hurt, I already have my Limited Edition Trey Lance Superhero Silk Briefs. I also have the heart-monitoring bra that came with them. It provides support without causing discomfort, and is also stylish without being scandalous.
