Matt Stafford's Futility

[Toruk_Makto]

With a loss today games in which Stafford has played the Lions are 3-29 against teams that have finished the season with a winning record.

Three and twenty nine.

If that was Romo....

IMO, he's a glorified Jay Cutler. All arm. I don't get how either are still starters in this league.

At what point does that not matter anymore?

 

[cowboys1981]

If he had a star on his helmet it would be a big deal.

 

[Rogah]

He is a mediocre-at-best QB who happens to gain tremendously from the fact the the best WR in the league is on the same team.

But but but it's a TEAM game

Let's make it 3-30 next week for him.

the lions are horrible. not his fault.

the lions are horrible. not his fault.

One, they are far from terrible. Two, how is his play not his fault?

It is. And that's why I said "The Lions are 3-29."

Words have meaning.

stafford, ryan both so overrated. they cant hold romo's jock yet both of them get a free pass constantly

 

[zeroburrito]

One, they are far from terrible. Two, how is his play not his fault?

he is not the reason they are 3-29 against good teams.

unless you also think romo is the reason we only have one playoff win since he got here?

romo is far better than stafford, but both have had horrible teams for the majority of their time playing.

If the Lions had the cowboys offensive line, Stafford would be setting league passing records....

Well Stafford is pretty mediocre. Career 85 qb rating.

The title of this thread tells it all. You are saying Matt Stafford sucks against good teams. Using a team stat. Everyone can see that.

They were terrible today. They looked like a badly coached team.

If that was Romo....

Nobody has ever put him in elite conversation. Phillip Rivers is better example. Put a star on that teams helmets and they would get crushed. Since it's a lightning bolt, no one cares.

Which is kind of my point. Whether we use Stafford or Rivers...guys who have been worse than Romo and on better teams have gotten a pass.

Just interesting.

its funny you would compare Stafford and Romo because that will be focus in national press all week of how this is matchup of two prolific QB who haven't had playoff success. But Romo looks different this year and Stafford doesn't.
