Matthew Stafford

Man did that kid show some heart today.

If he keeps it up he will be alright in this league.

I'll agree, but I'd say Quinn played just as well without the mistakes. I'll take his stats over an extra 100 yards and a TD if it involves two picks.

Yeah but he could of let Culpepper in and sit it out, but he didn't.

I didn't really watch the game so I'll take your word for it. It was on at B-Dubs but I was just watching the Dallas game and a little of the KC one.

LOL. Thank GOD for NFL Ticket. I was so furiously flipping back and forth between Washington @ Dallas, Atlanta @ New York Giants, Pittsburgh @ Kansas City, and Cleveland @ Detroit that my remote control is still smoking this morning!!! LOL If only I had about 6 more televisions.

He and Johnson are gonna be SCARY next year.

 

[ArmyCowboy]

Someone needs to explain to me why Scharz left him in the game in the second half yesterday.

What purpose does it serve to get your francise QB killed when he's already playing with one arm.

 

[Aikbach]

Stafford will be good, he may end up like Archie Manning however, a good quarterback on atrocious teams.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

he's shown some real promise at times this year. He's had a pretty typical rookie QB though. Up and down.

 

[theogt]

Holy cow. This guy is terrible. Absolutely terrible. He has no redeeming qualities. He's not accurate. He can't read defenses. This guy will never be any good.

Chris Johnson would like a word with you

Chris Johnson would like a word with you

I always said CJ had ridiculous speed and even ran with some power at times. Any idiot could see that. I just didn't think that would be enough to succeed in the NFL.

I've always thought you could shut down a speedster running back pretty easily if that's all he had. Well, I was wrong about that -- sort of. Perhaps it's just that we've never seen a running back with THAT much speed. It also helps a lot that he's added some moves to his repertoire as well, which he didn't have (or use) in college.

There's nothing wrong, however, about thinking a QB that can't read defenses and isn't accurate won't succeed in the NFL. He may improve DRAMATICALLY (and he will have to), but I don't see it as likely. QBs don't tend to improve that much when they start out this bad.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

He's better than Jamarcus Russell. That's about it. I don't see much from him in the future, especially in Detroit.

lol

I do think theogt hit on Ray Rice, from what I recall. CJ, not so much...but CJ is highly unusual.

Is this post for real? There's been scads of good QBs in the NFL that look like crap their rookie years and have multiple-INT games that go on to be pretty good. Troy threw 18 INTs in like 10 games in 1989 and barely completed over 50% of his passes. He turned out ok.

You named one. Now name "scads" more.
