if any of those guys were 29, and due to become a FA soon, they would all get more than Stafford just did.

Omg....you're dumb. Clue in. This is what franchise QBs make now. Him getting paid this amount of money has nothing to do with saying he's better than anyone. It doesn't work like that. The Lions signed him just in time. He would be getting 30MIL next yr if he didn't re-up. Look at Cousins. Someone is going to pay him 30MIL next yr. Is he better than the players you mentioned? No, he isn't. You sound like an idiot...

Stats dont matter. Hes won like 5 games EVER against +.500 teams....its truly his most pathetic stat. What is it?...1 game vs +.500 teams on the road....probably just as pathetic. If you have a competent qb you have to pay them to keep them. Hes competent. The Jets would have paid him much more to sign....i can list probably 8-10 more teams that feel the same way. We got a deal.
Unfortunately, the market with QBs is at a spot where you dont actually have to perform to get paid. You just need to be a top 10-15 guy who teams think they can build around.

And you are fucking dildo and a homer and you are taking a disagreement personally. Hows that? Is that childish enough for you? You must be a recent fan, like 14yrs old. He's 29 and still not as good as the old timers. See, the thing with Stafford is that he does not make a half-way decent team a SB contender. The others do. That is why he is not worth the money. Just because the Redskins and Raiders like to overpay doesnt mean the rest of the league has to. Good for Stafford for taking advantage.

Lmao. Yep, i'm taking your stupidity personally, you clown. It's actually funny reading opinions from dummy's like you that have no idea wtf they're talking about lol. You don't let franchise QBs walk out the door. There is probably 20 or so other teams that would pay Stafford to be their QB. Nobody is "worth" the money. The money is outrageous but that's the going rate now. It's actually a real good deal and it saves the team a ton of cap space. He could have fucked over the Lions and played on the tag for the next couple of yrs and they'd be paying him over 60+MIL over the next 2 yrs after this yr. But he didn't. He wanted to stay. But hey, we could have a QB like Hoyer, Osweiler, McCown, Hackenburg, Glennon. Damn, even the ever popular Colin Kaepernick lololol. Does that excite you? Bet it does.

Wins and losses are not solely on the QB and if you're a top 10 QB in the NFL (which he is...btw) then you're performing.

Another injury plagued, low performing season and you shouldn't have to franchise him.
Ansah has a lot to prove. Plus he is already 28. Quinn said he will be ready for week 1 today

Not that it matters much but I'm glad someone agrees with my point of view. I hope I'm dead wrong but 9 years of this dude says he's way overpaid.

You mean like Ebron is a top ten TE? Apparently everyone on the team is a top ten player in your eyes..

Who the hell ever said Ebron was a top 10 TE? NEVER seen anyone on this board even come close to saying that.... So you'd rather we NOT pay Stafford and run with a guy like Paxton fucking Lynch who can't call a play in a huddle or beat out Trevor freaking Simeien for the starting job.... You had to pay Stafford that amount just because that is how the QB market is going. Yes he is highest paid right now until the next QB gets his contract which will make him the next highest. Literally retarded if you think we shouldn't have paid him. Franchise QB's don't just fall off trees ya know and a TON of first and second round guys never make it. I guess what I am asking is what would you have done if we didn't resign him to the extension? Let him walk and draft a rookie? Asinine if you ask me....

The guy also doesn't play defense at all and that has A LOT to do with us losing to teams over .500

When you have teams interested in trading for Jake Rudock because there is just a lack of good QB's in the league.... YOU HAVE TO PAY STAFFORD.

I could care less I'm a Steelers fan. I'm sure everyone here that disagrees with you is stupid and should have their property vandalized. But whatever, I would like to see the Lions do well because of being my hometown team and all and they have crushed my family's hearts for years. That said, I would have waited him out and let the year finish out.

Not only does this contract say he is the best quarterback in the league, it also says he's the best player. Largest contract ever. Ridiculous!! Lions will be Lions, if he gets them to the Super Bowl over the next 5yrs, it will be worth it, I suppose. How many people here want to bet on that?
