Same guy he has been his whole career?


Capable of making any throw
Neither smart not dumb
Unique talent for amassing gaudy stats
Not as good as the stats say
Will never get any better than he has been, but also has never been terrible.

10 years on one team with a rotating cast of players and coaches including some talented squads and a HOF WR's prime has all added up to ZERO division titles and ZERO playoff wins

All in all; fools gold

2678632, Decent fantasy back up QB
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Nov-12-18 09:32 AM
Perfect QB for a mediocre franchise to stay competitive and keep fans coming but won’t ever win jack shit.
2678640, Could’ve been great with a creative coach and sound culture

The difference between Stanford and, say, Wentz or Goff is really just environment. You put Stafford on that Vikings team with Zimmer and talent everywhere it’s a different story. But it’s Detroit.

Not throwing stones here I’m a Skins guy after all.
2731241, He gone.

2731372, in closing, a good match for the Lions
Posted by Rjcc, Wed Feb-03-21 04:51 AM
he wasn't better than they deserved, and they weren't better than he deserved.

best Lions QB of my life and probably since the 50s

2731378, I think McVay will quickly prove Stafford deserved better
Posted by Tiger Woods, Wed Feb-03-21 11:05 AM
Creative coach and an arsenal of dynamic skill guys will likely result in a brief but exciting Matt Stafford rebirth
2731379, I agree, man...
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Feb-03-21 11:21 AM
and it's possible that I'm overrating Stafford...but, I don't have any real reason to. I just think he's such an upgrade over Goff.
2731426, so here's the thing
Posted by Rjcc, Thu Feb-04-21 04:43 PM
he's not good at getting tackled.

he'll be fine, until he gets hit and lands on his throwing shoulder

then he'll be significantly less accurate

2731518, i remember you said something after the cowboys-lions playoff gm
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Feb-06-21 09:56 AM
about the idea of Scott Linehan coordinating us instead of them and what that game would have looked like

that was 7 years ago and we never went back to vertical
2731380, I can definitely see this happening
Posted by Amritsar, Wed Feb-03-21 11:35 AM
Which is why I wanted him in SF (if we can’t land Deshaun)
2731413, curious to see if Stafford is built for playoff pressure
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Feb-04-21 11:58 AM
and not being the underdog.

Can he play with a lead? Dude was always in catch-up mode in Detroit for obvious reasons
2731424, He's not
Posted by Ceej, Thu Feb-04-21 04:15 PM
He just doesnt have that in him.
2731427, he's just a guy. a guy can win you a super bowl, we've seen it
Posted by Rjcc, Thu Feb-04-21 05:06 PM
but he's just a guy, imo

2731482, too many 4Q comebacks to just be a guy
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-05-21 02:55 PM
2731487, lets be honest, Megatron made him look real good
Posted by guru0509, Fri Feb-05-21 03:53 PM
2731498, GT had a bunch of "guys" at QB
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-05-21 10:00 PM
calvin couldnt make any of them look good, and i promise you the gap between calvin and DBs was bigger in college

calvin needed stafford to shine, a QB to let his nuts hang and fire the ball with absurd confidence

that was symbiotic, and they made each other better. ill go to my grave believing that.
2731499, I think Stafford is a living god next to most Georgia Tech QBs
Posted by Rjcc, Fri Feb-05-21 10:16 PM
he's easily a top 7-12 NFL QB most of his career.

not...top 6 tho

and that is what I mean by just a guy

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at
2731501, okay, back end of top 10 is reasonable
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-05-21 10:38 PM
Brady, Ben, Brees, Rodgers, Russ, Peyton/Mahomes

then what?

Rivers? i will not abide that lmao

there have never been 11 QBs in the NFL better than Stafford in any year starting from 2011 on. and he had individual seasons that were easily top 5 for that year.
2731545, fair enough...nm

2731489, whole lotta flops too

2731500, i mean, whats a "flop" for the lions?
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Feb-05-21 10:30 PM

the magnitude and quantity of the comebacks suggests he dragged them to success kicking and screaming, given:

A)the history of the organization.

B)the HOF qbs around him on the career 4QC (7th) and GWD (8th) leaderboards. Brady, Brees, Manning, Unitas, Elway, Marino...no one lands on a list like that by accident.

he was way more than what the franchise deserved, and an absolute home run of #1 overall QB . its not his fault that the QB the fans deserve doesnt actually exist, or that the front office, and thus the coaches' room, was an endles churn of morons.
2731425, he's better than Goff sure
Posted by Rjcc, Thu Feb-04-21 04:23 PM
but I don't think y'all have been watching seasons of the Stafford experience like we have.

now you will.

2731483, Fatt Stafford
Posted by Amritsar, Fri Feb-05-21 03:22 PM
I still call him that. Because of this damn place lol
2731519, I thought they called him Staffinfection
