The Lambs went all in on this season, selling out their future for the now, and they barely got past us. Yeah no moral victories in sports, but the long game is a very real thing and I think we are better positioned long term.
We said the same thing about the Rams when they went to their 1st SB with McVay. They just know how to make impactful trades and their front office has been top notch.
How sustainable is that formula tho? Once Stafford declines are they going to trade for another top 10 QB? Eventually they will need to draft and groom a QB.
I think they played a risky game with all the draft capital they traded away but it has worked out for them perfectly. They will be relevant again next year as long as they have Donald, Stafford, Kupp, Ramsey and a few others. After about 2 years they'll have all their draft capital back also and they can start the cycle again if they want.
They went all in and it's working out in the present and short term future. I think had one or two of these trades/signings been huge busts they'd be in a terrible spot but the moves have for the most part worked.
