Nazgul Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Matthew Stafford will be missed in Detroit. Like the other fans here, I hope he gets his Verlander moment and is able to win a 'ship. Even if it's elsewhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sad day as a Lions fan. But Stafford gave us 12 years of heart and determination. He’s a great guy on and off the field. He deserves a shot on a team with a run game and defense. Whoever trades for him is getting a stand up guy with lots of talent and guts. Hopefully the Lions get some nice picks back to help build this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not Stafford is just going to have an injury plagued season behind a bad Oline. Edited January 24, 2021 by Swift21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeaaahhhh this is just a made up rumor You will take #12 and a (future?) 3rd and be happy. I wonder if he has a no-trade clause so that he gets some say in his destination. If I am DET I try and get the bears desperate FO to give me next years first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am DET I try and get the bears desperate FO to give me next years first lol I do agree with what you are saying..I doubt He has a trade clause seeing the time of his extension..you'll eat 43 to 49 mill and the lions will save around 14 mill if the trade is done. Jimmy isn't the guy for the 49ers but I can for sure seeing Stafford Winning on a 49ers team then anywhere else atm maybe INDY...and if it come down to picks yes i can see one or the other in INDY or SF offering a first and a second ad if not a 3rd with a 2nd or 3rd in the next year draft.

Tugboat Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It makes sense all around. The Stafford in Detroit thing has run its course and yielded no fruit. Might as well let the guy go and try to salvage something out of the remaining years of his career. And from the Lions end...it's obviously time to just move on to a new era and start fresh. I really do hope we get a chance to see Stafford healthy, and with an actually solid, competitive roster around him. See what he can really actually do, when put in a position to succeed and win. Have to think Indy, New England, and San Francisco would be the likeliest suitors. Throw Washington in there as a wildcard maybe, and i wouldn't rule out Chicago either actually. By the time Detroit have swallowed the dead money on that contract, it actually looks pretty attractive for a good quarterback of Stafford's ilk. He's gotta have more left in the tank than Rivers or Peyton did at their "late career rental" sort of phases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Stafford is incredibly underrated. I hope he shines. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Stafford would improve our passing offense greatly, but he isn't the answer. Against better teams, he rarely comes through late. He'd also be throwing to stumps compared to what he's had in his career. Too expensive as well, for someone that won't win anything for us. It would be easier to watch us though....

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Stud player, high character, team leader, tough as hell. If he goes to a decent roster, they'll be in the playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Matt Stafford has 74 career wins and has had to lead a come from behind gwd in 38 of those wins. Matt Stafford's 4 winning seasons in 12 years is equivalent to the combined total of every Lions Quarterback since 1989. Matt Stafford has had 11 100 yard tailback performances in his entire career and the first one didn't come until his 4th year. He is a great QB held down by a DISASTER of a franchise. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep saying this, but the Lions never attempted to run the ball. Outside of the 2014 and 2019 the Lions never attempted to run the ball. Those 2 seasons were the only ones in his career where they were in the top HALF in rushing attempts. It's hard to have many 100 yard rushing performances when you're 31st in attempts. The Falcons are similar in that since 2012 they've rarely attempted to rush the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
