PFF worst Players at every position:

Quarterback: Matthew Stafford, Lions, 46.3

For anyone that has watched football this year, Stafford?s inclusion really shouldn?t surprise you. Stafford has been one of the biggest reasons for the poor play of the Detroit Lions this season. Despite two receivers that some teams would kill to have, Stafford hasn?t been able to get anything going. His offensive line has been bad, no doubt about it, and he?s been pressured on 39 percent of his dropbacks.

But even when he isn?t faced with pressure, he?s averaging just 7.8 yards-per-attempt (YPA) and has thrown just one more touchdown than interceptions (seven to six). Any throw over 10 yards in the air is an adventure, as he?s completed just 48 percent of those passes, with an equal amount of touchdowns (six) and interceptions. It was just two years ago that Stafford was our sixth-highest graded quarterback. Safe to say, he won?t be there this season.

Honorable Mention: Andrew Luck (47.3), Colin Kaepernick (48.6)

Tackles: LaAdrian Waddle, Lions, 22.8, and James Hurst, Ravens, 25.8

Waddle has a run block grade of 42.2, which ranks 57th among qualified tackles in the league (out of 77). That?s actually the good part. When it comes to pass blocking, Waddle grades out at 19.8, which is the worst amongst any tackle that has played at least one snap this season (there have been 107). Waddle has allowed five sacks, six hits and 24 hurries. His pass blocking efficiency of 87.6, if it holds up, will be the worst we?ve ever recorded for a starting tackle

No surprise with either. Waddle has been awful. That's made a mediocre-at-best Stafford even worse than usual. There is no fixing Waddle. He's just gotta go. I'd suggest we draft a LT and slide Reiff over to RT.

I think there is a misperception that I'm trying to claim Stafford is as good as Romo. I'm not. I'm saying Romo is nearly as bad as Stafford. Neither are elite, and Romo has benefitted more from his team than Stafford, along with more years of experience, and the perception is Romo is "far better"/"tons better"/"head and shoulders above"...those comments don't hold up.

You'd be wrong.. Every year since he's started his passer rating is over 90. He might have been the best QB last season. A much better YPA, much better TD to INT ratio, even more sacks last 4 years for Romo. I could go on and on because there's not one important stat that is close between the two.

 

[zyxt9]

Career QB rating
Romo 97.6
Stafford 83.7

YPA
Romo 7.9
Stafford 7.0

TD %
Romo 5.7
Stafford 4.2

Int %
Romo 2.6
Stafford 2.8

Comp %
Romo 65.3
Stafford 60.1

There isn't one meaningful stat that Stafford is even close to Romo except maybe INT%

LMAO...those stats prove my point, not yours...not to mention yu cherry picked them.

Romo is not elite, just like I said. He is closer to being like Stafford, and far from Brady. Sure he is better here and there, but no 2 QBs will be exactly alike.

Stafford has several stats where he is better than Romo too, but you conveniently left those out. And did you run a comparison of team running and D stats? Nope.

I really don't get the Romo love...dude hasn't done anything to deserve it just like Stafford hasn't.

 

[zyxt9]

OVer the past 5 full seasons, From 2010-2014, Dallas had the better defense one time. Their average ranking was 21 compared to 15 for the Lions. As far as rushing offense...in that time frame Dallas was better 3 of 5 years. Average ranking, Dallas 18, Detroit 24.

Honestly I am surprised by these numbers...but then again, Dallas hasn't really done that well overall either. How many times have they won their division? How many playoff wins???

Knocks on Romo have been legit, he isn't elite.

I feel like I'm arguing with Cowboy homers. Show me how Romo is elite! You can't! Eli Manning is a better QB who has won SBs and I said he wasn't much better than Stafford, yet Romo is the guy people are attempting to prove is elite???? WTF???? When did this become the DallasSportsForum? LMFAO...you guys kill me with this Romo love.

He's better in every category. By quite a bit. How is that cherry picking? Might add well say Stafford and Dan O. are similar.

And Stafford is having one of his best completion% seasons this year, yet he is deserving of worst player at his position. Comp% improved last year and even more this year. I could claim he is improving but everybody agrees he sucks this year despite that.

Romo is not elite. At least Eli has beaten Tom Brady twice in SBs. Explain why people are putting Romo above Eli?

So its all about playoff wins? So Tebow is better than Matt? As far as completion %, Matt finally gets a decent completion % yet in his career is way behind Romo. Explain why Matt is even close? I'll give you a year.

 

[zyxt9]

I sure hope if the Lions next QB is equal to Romo that people would realize it isn't good enough because he isn't elite enough to be a champion.

If you want to win a Super Bowl, you need someone better than the Romo we have seen for 10 years because he doesn't have a ring. I for one am wanting a Lions SB victory in less than 10 years. Elite QBs don't go 1-5 or 2-6 in the playoffs.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah, Marino sucks too. Kelly, Tarkentin.. And others.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I swear I'm talking to LKP.

Where am I claiming Stafford is elite? Show me one post saying that.

In total yards, Stafford has blown Romo away. Staff or has higher TDs/season than Romo too. Cherry pick stats to somehow prove Romo is elite all you want, but he isn't.

I'm not saying Stafford is better than Romo, but the gap isn't as wide as you guys are trying to make it seem. I wouldn't want Romo to be the Lions QB either. Would I prefer him to Stafford? Sure...in part because he is closer to retirement so hopefully they would finally get a good QB to replace him! Again, not all that different from Stafford after all when looking at it that way.

 

[zyxt9]

I swear I'm talking to LKP.

Dude... YOU are being Romo's LKP. I do NOT want either guy, I want a much better QB, I bus don't see one I the draft but maybe Lions will get lucky if they try getting one late.

I am NOT defending Stafford. This is what you are missing, along with fact most Cowboy fans are ready to move on from Romo. Please don't tell me you would be excited by Romo becoming a Lion.

Who's talking elite? All anyone has mentioned is one is much better than the other.

 

[zyxt9]

Yeah, Marino sucks too. Kelly, Tarkentin.. And others.

All of these guys made it to the Super Bowl, so they at least won one conference championship. How many of those has Romo won?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Romo, 3rd is MVP last season. Does that not tell you something..

 

[zyxt9]

Again, you are saying "much" better. Just leave it at better while recognizing Romo would be generating tons of hate for not being good in the playoffs and not elite enough to be what you want out of a Lions QB. He is still preferred to Stafford, but it isnt like he would be winning SBs here.

Gotta get an elite QB for them to win a SB. Unfortunately I don't see it happening.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Again with the elite. His numbers blow Stafford's away. Romo will get consideration for the hall of fame. Can you say the same about Matt?

 

[zyxt9]

Says he is better than Matt, does not say he is elite.

There are QBs who ranked lower than Romo in regular season who I would take over Romo without hesitation, because they win in the playoffs. Give me Eli any day. Sure, he is frustrating to watch, but at least his MVP is a SBMVP...regular season stats are good, but the playoffs are where the elite/great/really good are winners.

 

[zyxt9]

Bwahahahaha....ahhhh, HoF????

Ok, I'm done. You really are being Romo's LKP with this post.

Eli will be in the HoF, Romo is no guarantee. Why? Rings.
