If the LA Rams are eliminated from qualifying for the playoffs by the time Matthew Stafford is eligible to come off IR, which is highly likely, under no circumstance should they activate him off IR this season. If the Lions didn't have the Rams 1st Round pick or any other Rams pick(s), my opinion would be the same. The only realistic chance the Rams have at being a serious Super Bowl contender in the 2024 season is with a relatively healthy Stafford.
