Stafford signs extension...
 

The Detroit Lions have signed Matthew Stafford to a 3 year, $53 million extension with $43 million in guaranteed money. The deal itself may look like a bargain when held in relation to Joe Flacco's 6 year, $120.6 million deal -- but the guaranteed money makes Stafford's deal better. Now the Panthers will wait for Cam Newton's extension to arrive.

It's an obvious sign and trade for Alex Smith.

and all of these are going to pale in comparison to what Kaep is going to get.

Why? He's going to suck in a year or 2.

Won't take that long.

not if he doesn't stop running and start throwing



running kills a QB's passing development

Turnover machine. Rather have Smith.

I hope that goes well for the Lions

paying that much money means they don't have enough to go around to fill out team to make super bowl

They are out mediocritying us! :cuss:

gotta have a QB but after awhile that QB is going to demand so much money it hurts your team

Like $8.5 mill for a benched, injury prone QB?

sweet. we can trade for him in 6 years.

That is a lot of money for guy who really only has had one good season

He threw 727 passes last year with only 20 TDs. How is that even possible?

He's the best they ever had, and probably better then any Chiefs qb since Len Dawson. Sometimes you just gotta. I dotn count montana he was just a 2 year rental.

ChiefsPlanet: Where 5000 yard passing QBs are pilloried whilst the detractors' own team has a QB who averages less than 200 YPG.

Yeah, I heard that the other day and couldn't believe it till I got home and looked it up myself.

I think he's pretty good, but he has the worst mechanics I've seen out of a starting QB in a long time. At least 75% of his throws come off his back foot. It's frustrating to watch.

this guy has 12,000 yards and 80 touchdowns in 4 seasons and our noodle dick QB has 14,000 yards and 81 touchdowns in 7 seasons and you guys are going to shit on him/down play him compared to the brokedick we have?

right

Do you make up posts in your head or how exactly did you come to this conclusion?

by reading the thread's posts, there are some here that act like a QB of this caliber isnt worth the money.

It's the best one the Lions ever had and he would be one of the best if not the best the Chiefs would ever have if he was on this team too.

As a Megatron owner in FF, I can give a partial explanation.

I saw the exact number a few days ago - I think it was 7 times that Megatron was either brought down or went OOB at the 1 yard line, and another 5-6 times inside the 5.

Can't speak to other WR's/players, but that's some fluky bad luck.

can we trade an excess fullback for him?

I'd still take him over Smith. At THAT price.

Yes, I DO say.

I doubt you'd get an argument against that. but, comparing Stafford with Smith isn't fair without mentioning Stafford always plays with Megatron

just die

Jesus I'd love to have him on this team.

we have 2/3 extras ... package deal?

I'd take him in a heartbeat and even at that price. With the shortage of even ABOVE AVERAGE QBs in this league you gotta put if not a strangle hold, a leash, on your guy for the possibilty that he may get to that franchise caliber level. His mechanics are correctable and his talent is undeniable. No brainer.

Valid point.

I don't know, his first name is Matt.

You idiots. What's their other option? Release Matt Stafford?

I wonder how good Stafford would be with Saunders or Norv as his OC.

Not that Linehan is bad and I like his incorporation of tighter splits/alignments, I just don't think he's close to the other 2 as a playcaller

Stafford would be considered a hell of a lot better if he kept the same OC and didn't have complete stooges like Schwartz and Cunningham filling out the two other spots.

Half of a g&t in and I'd already forgotten about the Gunther factor.

Linehan is probably due for a promotion then
