Get StartedThe money is getting crazy. To think Stafford will easily make over 250 million by the time he is 35. Good time to be a NFL QB or an Agent.
He'll be the highest paid qb in history....and we consistently get top 20 production. Have to pay him though...
In yards maybe. Just not in anything that matters.

The kid has put this team on his back. One yr he's had a defense. He's a gamer and our QB for the next 6 yrs lol. All aboard......:rush:

Come on. Past 4 years the defense on average has out performed the offense.
Scoring Defense rank: 13th
Scoring Offense Rank: 18th
Stafford started playing at a much higher level finally. Lets not pretend like he was always at this level. Last year was similar to prior years in terms of team around him. He performed much better than he ever had.
If you think Stafford was as good in 2016 as he was in 2014/2015, well I don't know how you can defend that. I'm not sure how anyone can watch Staff in 2016 then go and watch him in 2014 and be like, yeah, that's about the same quality of play from the QB.
Now we just have to hope that the second half was because of mostly injury to the hand and not the typical good half the year Stafford trend. At least his better is getting better and his worse is getting better.

i would say hes more efficient....not necessarily better. When your dink and dunk pass game leads to so many 3 n outs its puts the defense in a bad spot. Weve had zero deep threat passing game the last 3-4 seasons. So we have a qb with a HUGE arm that throws the ball like 5 yards all game lol. You should be more efficient when your taking less risk. You also score less, and have horrible field position most of the game.....which is LKPs point. So while i agree with you LKP....he has had those things to deal with....i believe its a product of the offense he runs. Not the defenses fault.

He has? Other QB's have too.. Which is why he was 13th in passing rating this pass season.. 90+ rating is not top of the top anymore.. 17 QB finished above 90, with 5 above 100. Matt is a fine QB, meaning I wouldn't toss him away.. But that's it.
He's a safe passer, short and sweet. It works for him, and the Detroit Lions. He's going to get paid that's the way of the NFL but I'm not looking forward to him get getting paid as top dog.
