Is Matt Stafford one of the best QBs never to play in a Super Bowl?
ESPN cunt face analyst Bill Barnwell does not think so.

Somehow four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Andrew Luck and Detroit?s Matthew Stafford are both less deserving of a spot on Bill Barnwell?s list of best quarterbacks to never reach a Super Bowl than Jay Cutler and Jeff Blake.

Barnwell?s methodology relies heavily on the indexed adjusted yards per attempt statistic at Pro Football Reference.

Outside of his six seasons as the starting quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, Blake was about as close to the definition of a journeyman quarterback as you could get. The former East Carolina signal caller was sent packing after the Bengals drafted Akili Smith, and spent time with the Saints, Ravens, Cardinals, Eagles, and Bears before closing his 13-year career in 2005. Blake made the Pro Bowl once and led 12 fourth-quarter comebacks (16 game-winning drives). While Blake did not have great teams his entire career, nobody is going to argue Stafford had stupendous supporting casts throughout his career, either.

Over a 12-season career with the Broncos, Bears, and Dolphins, Jay Cutler managed to make the Pro Bowl once and appeared in the playoffs just once. Among his career comparables on Pro Football Reference are Ken Stabler, Jim Plunkett, and Phil Simms, but also Matt Hasselbeck, Andy Dalton, and Jim Everett. Stafford has a bunch of those guys on his comparables list, too, but then adds in Jim Kelly, Joe Theismann, Joe Namath, and Roger Staubach.

Barnwell?s defense of Cutler and Blake more or less amount to saying they didn?t have good defenses. Aside from the 2014 monster, have the Lions had any good defenses that consistently delivered in the last decade? Even if you don?t think Stafford is better than either of those two selections, Andrew Luck?s injury-shortened career was a heck of a lot more impressive. Oh, and here are the defenses Luck had supporting him during the 2012-2016 years when he was the starter (injured in 2017):
Chuck Paganos teams by scoring defense:
Ravens DC:
2011 - 3rd (1st in DVOA)
Colts HC:
2012 - 21st (31st)
2013 - 9th (16th)
2014 - 19th (13th)
2015 - 25th (13th)
2016 - 22nd (29th)
2017 - 14th (27th)
Colts were 28th in scoring and 26th in DVOA the year before he arrived.

What happened in 2018 after Chuck Pagano was fired and Frank Reich took over? Luck had the best defense he?d ever played with. It?s too bad he didn?t have more seasons like that. It?s also too bad Stafford hasn?t had more defenses like he did with the 2014 Lions.

Detroit Lions Podcast Episode 240 ? Detroit Lions Look To The Chicago Bears. 70 minutes.

In this episode of The Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Case discuss the latest Lions news, look ahead to the Chicago Bears, and bring out the details of a killer new contest. Get ready to win tickets to join Chris and Sandman in a suite for the Detroit Lions game against the Dallas Cowboys game.

Detroit Lions Chicago Bears Preview.
The Detroit Lions stumbled against the Oakland Raiders last week, but this week presents a different opportunity. The Lions are facing a Chicago Bears team lead by the comically bad Mitch Trubisky. If ever there was a Lions and Bears game that the Lions should win ? this is it. While the Bears have a solid defense. The rest of the team is limited by their quarterback. Remember the Bears hilariously traded a ton of draft capital to draft Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes. Chris and Case take a good look at the game and tell you what to expect.

The boys also take a look at the playoff picture for the Lions. The game isn?t over yet, but there?s an uphill battle to get there. In this episode we review the team?s performance so far and compare this year vs. last. We also take a look at how the Lions have performed against common opponents in relation to their NFC North rivals. Interesting information, and good perspective on the team for folks who are feeling down right now.
