Thanks Dave.

A nice Christmas present would be to announce a trade for a cheaper, better quarterback...

Need to find a better one that a team also is willing to get rid of is the thing though.

I bet Cutler is available

I bet Cutler is available

Yeah, but for a contract that I'm not sure that roster can actually hold.

Who is the better QB between Cutler and Stafford?

Stafford has the better stats.... But many would argue that Cutler has played behind some of the worst offensive lines in the game

I guess it helps having Megatron to throw to.

Well it doesn't hurt but cutler has had Marshall who's pretty damn good as well.

 

[zjcvols]

Stafford has had his worst season behind the worst o line of his career, a first time OC, a bad running game, and at some points only Golden Tate to throw too.

I don't think Stafford is some great QB but it's hard to fault him for this year.

 

[zjcvols]

Stafford's completion percentage went up, his INT% went down, and his yards per attempt stayed the same. Give him a better O-Line and 16 healthy Megatron games and you are talking his best year of his career.

I blame Lombardi for this year. Incredible how the D is top notch and the O sucks with all the playmakers they have. Austin A+ Lombardi D

I want to see Lombardi with a better and more healthy offensive line. Hopefully Waddle can come back 100%, Swanson can be the real deal, and find a suitable replacement for Rob Sims.

GAME TIME. Nobody is picking the Lions to win this.

 

[TrueOrange]

Know who's not good?

Matt Stafford's not good.

 

[govols120]

Matt Stafford: B quarterback. Aaron Rodgers: A, or even A+.

 

[TrueOrange]

Who's bad?

Matt Stafford's bad.

That might be "B"-ing generous.

 

[govols120]

Warford down. Assuming we get Dallas in first round, can't wait to watch Stafford be completely outclassed by Romo.

 

[govols120]

That might be "B"-ing generous.

Fine, on a 1-to-10 scale, he's a 6. A 7 on his best days.

 

[MAD]

I would say Stafford is the 6th best QB in the league.

Who are the 5 he's behind?

Manning
Rogers
Luck

Brady

Nope, but thanks for playing. The Lions and Packers are near-equal teams except at QB, and that difference alone keeps this team from ever being a serious Super Bowl contender.
