The Colts dump Gosder

Any NFL starter is going to make more good plays (based on your definition of good plays) than bad plays. That is just a fact.

What separates the great, from the average, from the bad is the amount of Great/Elite plays vs the Amount of poor/mistake plays.

You limit the bad you increase the great that's when you can crack into the top 10 QB discussion. However Stafford still hasn't gotten over that hump. He is too inconsistent and still has to many bad plays/reads.

And Stafford is in the upper echelon in the ratio of good plays to bad. Even on incompletes and ints he is making good plays a good amount of the time. The team is not for various reasons which I also provide the reason and typically it's injury related. Stafford is a good QB. He does more than alot of QBs. He is asked to do more than alot of QBS (pass attempts due to no run game).

Stafford is firmly in the top 10 in good to bad ratio.

Every QB has different circumstances, Stafford has to deal with alot. Given our circumstances, there is no QB I would rather have than Stafford.

Can't wait until they extend him again. 10 more years or more of Stafford.

Injuries galore. New system and Stafford still got it done 11 wins and good QB play. Many great plays. You focus on the bad ones and ignore the great ones.

Good in 2013, outstanding in 2014. These are facts.

Still unable to find video of all these great plays to show us?
Your charts and records don't show them?

Post two great throws he has made.

Any TD, any first down, any completion, any smart throw away is Stafford doing a good job. And also an int or incomplete not his fault. You guys posted some actually.

I'm talking great throws. So in your mind every completion is great? So Majority of Joey Harrington's throws were great? Majority of Cutler is Great? So these guys are all great in your world?

Plenty of great throws. He makes things look easy.
 
So is that a yes on Cutler and Harrington? Would you consider majority of their throws great? Are they Good QBs too?

Cutler would be put he turns it over too much. And many are his fault. He's had the weapons. But Cutler hasn't had much protection. Cutler is better than people think but not quite a Stafford.

Joey had more negative than positive. And didn't throw as much because he stunk and didn't get first downs. Joey was a dink and dunker too but some of that was the offense and no weapons. YPA not even close to Stafford. Joey was like a 5 or 6 YPA. Stafford a 7 or more

On what he needs to see from QB Matthew Stafford: "Nothing. He's the fastest guy to 20,000 yards in the history of the NFL. Name some of those other guys, (Dan) Marino, (Joe) Montana, whoever. He has had 4,000 yards four years in a row. He's playing some great football for us. I need him to keep doing that and we can get some other guys doing what he's doing."

Mayhew loves him. He's a Lion for life

lol......wow......a GM backs his QB.

Again, John Harbaugh called Flacco the best QB in the NFL........so I guess everyone else is just shooting for 2nd, right??

That's right. Also, we already established Dalton is the #7 QB based on Marvin Lewis Comments.
 
He didn't just back him. He said he has nothing to prove. He knows (correctly) that Stafford has been playing well.

No wonder why stafford has the nah I'm fine attitude. No accountability. They continue putting the diapers on the kid and telling him its ok he shits the bed.
