Get StartedDefenses fault we only scored 15 points....duh.
Lets analyze your bullshit shall we?
14 game stretch.
Have you ever heard an MVP of the league that went .500?
Dude is 7 -7 over those 14 games. Its the defenses fault you say?
2015
Arizona L 17 points scored. yippie.
Min L 19 points scored. Yippie
Chiefs L 10 points scored. Yippie.
Packers we won by scoring only 18. Yippie.
Raiders L. Scored 18. Yippie.
Im giving you the benefit of the doubt because for some reason you chose to only pick the last 14 games.....the 2 games before that were losses as well and we got smoked in both. Offense didnt do shit vs the seahawks.
2016
Titans L Offense scored 15. Yippie.
Bears L Offense scored 14. Yippie.
Defenses fault my ass. MVP my ass. Have you ever seen an MVP go .500 in his last 14 games? Anyone?

Grade: A-minus
Detroit Lions
The Lions have to be happy with what they've gotten out of Matthew Stafford this season. He's basically continued on the same trajectory he enjoyed at the end of 2015, when he put up numbers that were favorable compared to many of the league's star signal-callers. He has continued that trend over the first six weeks of this season. He's second in the league in completion percentage (68.9) and is on pace to have career highs in passer rating (106.0) and QBR (71.0). Of his four interceptions, at least two could be blamed on the pass-catcher. He hasn't been perfect -- he had a late interception against Tennessee that sealed the game for the Titans, plus the Chicago debacle along with the rest of Detroit's offense -- but he has been stellar overall. -- Michael Rothstein
He is a top 5 cap hit. Salary isn't really that important. Some get more base salary, some got a larger signing bonus.
I'm not saying the money hasn't' been worth it this year, but saying 20th highest isn't really accurate in my mind, it's only part of the picture. He's routinely been one of the highest cap hits year over year.
Stafford is such a good player. Thanks for the comparisons kaline
Most of these are simply because of the sheer volume of attempts. I can not confirm, but willing to bet anything, that he has far more attempts than anyone else through the 1st 100 games.
If you look towards TD/INT ratio, YPA, Passer rating and wins he would be towards the bottom of the list.
But under JBC scheme with the reduced number of long/tough throws, better blocking schemes (under pressure far less), and becoming a better game manger, he has taken off under his oversight.
So would Stafford be the leader in all these categories if he was under JBC for majority of his career? Probably not, but I'm guessing he would of been a much more efficient and better QB over the first 6.5 years, and we would of had more wins.
I'm sure almost everyone would trade in his first 100 games for almost any other QBs performance through their first 100 despite Stafford leading in all these volume stats.
Stafford is going into he's 100th game, how about a breakdown on how he stacks up to other QBs in their first 100 games.
Stafford will play in his 100th game on Sunday, but is already tops among all NFL quarterbacks in passing yards through their first 100 games with 27,624. Dan Marino (27,064) and Kurt Warner (26,097) rank second and third.
Stafford also ranks first in completions (2,392), ahead of Matt Ryan (2,242) and Peyton Manning (2,216).
In terms of touchdowns, Stafford is fifth all-time over a quarterback?s first 100 games. Marino is first with 217, followed by Aaron Rodgers (203), Brett Favre (187), and Manning (178). Stafford has 177, so he has a chance to pass Manning this weekend vs. Washington in his 100th game.
How about 300-yard passing games? Stafford is fourth with 32. Warner (44), Marino (35) and Rodgers (34) are ahead of him.
Stafford does hold the record for 350-yard games, however. He has 18. Marino had 17 and Warner 16.

Manning 112 ints through 100 games
Stafford 102
Stafford has a better td int ratio than manning
Well unless he throws 11 picks on sunday
Brees 151 and 92 ints. Stafford better td int ratio than brees through 100 too
Brewer. You are dead wrong. Your stafford hate is beyond stupid
Let's pump the brakes here. I was more than willing to admit he's turned a corner and finally looks a great NFL qb. But he needs to do this on a consistent basis for more than 14 bleepin games. If he pumps out high quality production for 3, 4 seasons in a row and actually helps this team win in the playoffs, heck yeah I'll be in line to buy a jersey.
But the love he is getting for the small amount of great production he's put forth recently is way over the top. If people read this thread and just saw the slap stuff, it would read like he's an all time historic top 5.

Looks like you got it all figured out!! Jesus Christ, you can't even compliment the kid without kicking him in the nuts lol.
And if you think he's a fucking "gam manager" under JBC's offense, then you need your fucking head examined.
