Only a few teams could say that their QB situation wouldn’t be better with Stafford

he should have asked for this a long time ago

Why? He got top dollar with 0 expectations or accountability. Now he gets one last big payday (because folks are still enamored with that big arm :mjlol:) and he gets to use the "ruined by the Lions" excuse when he doesn't do shyt.

He's tied with Elway for 7th all time in 4th quarter comebacks and 4th among active players. You can argue that because he plays for Detroit and is used to playing from behind but still a good stat to have as a QB.

We can't give him credit for the comebacks and then blame the numerous other Ls on others. I personally don't like the W-L stuff with QBs anyway. He never showed me anything special on a consistent basis :manny:.

Be hard pressed to find a QB that wasn’t an all time great that would have done anymore for the lions than he did

There are a lot of teams that are need of a QB if he is gone from Detroit. The Patriots Redskins Broncos Saints etc. are 4 who need a QB or could do for an upgrade over their current starter. And Stafford is a damn good QB who hasn't been surrounded by the best of teams over the years. I would like to see what he could do with a team that actually cares about winning.

falcons owner said he may get rid of matt ryan
and mcvay did say he might get rid off goff

alot of teams wouldn't mind stafford

Black QBs don't get this consideration and they damn sure don't get to mutually agree to part ways. He didn't do anything special in college either btw.

What does this mean?

just showing a dropped game winning td. you can't blame him for all the losses either. it's just a shyte organization. but I agree if you look at his stats only 1 40 and one 30 td season. not a franchise qb by todays standards
