Matt Stafford?
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Matthew Stafford's Lions future beyond 2015 is "very much in doubt."
https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/662329766633193472 Lions fired GM Martin Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand. There has been no word on the status of coach Jim Caldwell, who is also on the hot seat. Mayhew took over GM duties during the Lions' 0-16 2008 campaign. He drafted Matthew Stafford as the first overall pick in 2009 and landed Ndamukong Suh in the first round a year later. Mayhew's more recent selections, such as Kyle Van Noy in the second round a year ago and Darius Slay in 2013, have not fared as well, and the departure of Suh and 2011 first-round pick Nick Fairley in free agency this offseason left the defense lacking talent. Despite the struggles this year, the Lions made the playoffs twice in Mayhew's tenure, the only two playoff berths for the franchise since 1999. With the man who drafted him now out of the picture, Stafford's future with the team is uncertain. He is owed a $17 million base salary next season, and Detroit could save $11.5 million against the 2016 cap by moving him. http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football |

No one here is claiming that Stafford is elite or even that we should jump at the chance to get him on this team.
What I'm simply claiming is that he's not as shitty as people make him out to be. He's basically Andrew Luck at this point. Tons of weapons with no ****ing offensive line to keep him upright. And because of that....he forces the ball and ends up with a bunch of INTs. |

No he's bad. Worse fundamentals than Cutler. Accuracy problems and a tendency to throw to the other team. He just throws the ball up in Calvin's general direction and prays it works out

I was blasted here for saying Stafford was overrated this past offseason.

Chiefs love Alex-he will retire here. Makes enough plays to keep the team out of the cellar and making money. Money is the bottom line. They won't bring in Stafford the interception machine- he would cost too much and hurt the bottom line with a losing record.

I wanted him when he first came out of Georgia. Maybe with Reid.... MAYBE.... he could become a great quarterback, but I personally don't think we need to trade Smith for Stafford. I'd rather go with the College QB route than hitch the wagon to another veteran.

![]() He really doesn't throw that many INTs. Just 17 when he threw it over 700 times.

Iiiiiiiiii don't know, man. I don't know. I mean, Stafford is ass, but Luck's been horrid this season too. Prior to last Sunday's game, Luck had the third lowest QBR of any QB in the league. They both have similar talents (big arm, 3rd year explosion, disappointing performances thereafter). I'll give it a few more years to make the determination. |

Eye test does tell me that Luck is the better QB, though. I never loved Stafford. His footwork makes his bad throws really tough to forgive.
I had also heard the coaching had suggested bringing someone in to help him work on his mechanics and he shrugged it off as if everything were gravy and he didn't need it. That's douchey, non-leaderlike behavior. Plus he has a VERY punchable face, let's be honest. |
