If you can't see the upside in someone like Stafford, Sanchez or Clausen, then frankly, you have no idea what you're looking at/for.

A lot of underclassmen first round qbs have had "upside"

Give me an all time list of first round qbs that were underclassmen and we can all see the biggest list of FAIL in the history of stats and football.

Want to see a worse list?.. go look up first round qbs with 15 or less starts in college. Ill tell you this, you will see potential.

I think Sanchez is gonna prove to be the exception to that, but Im not so sure about Stafford. I still think he ends up as unspectacular. I could be wrong but I see a guy that will make a living throwing it up to Megatron and not a whole lot else.

I disagree. Stafford showed some very good things this year. He forced a lot of passes, but he made some plays that were of the "Holy shit, I can't believe he made that throw!" variety.

The Lions are like the Chiefs - complete shit bag of a team in the first stages of deconstruction and rebirth under a completely new front office and coaching staff. You really can't expect much the first year in a situation like that. But he's got some good stuff and the ball is a laser. Whenever I watched the Lions, I saw a little bit of a young John Elway in his demeanor and the way he played. The potential is there.
