I don't think the average fan understands just how good Stafford is or how much he is respected around the league.
I'm serious, its insulting to compare him to Goff or Wentz.....please.
His teammates love him and opponents all know what he brings.
He was just been buried in Detroit.
Just a few of years of player and coach praise. The dude is way underrated
Golden Tate, who played with Russell Wilson, calls Stafford the best QB he has ever played with.
“Stafford’s been the best quarterback I’ve played with,” Tate said Sunday in speaking with ClickOnDetroit.com. “The guy can flat out play, he’s tough, and his attitude is amazing, and he just wants to play ball. For me, I have nothing but praises for him. It’s almost unfair despite how great he is, he doesn’t have a ring to show for it.”
Bruce Arians borderline worships the dude.
“He’s one of my all-time favorite guys,” Arians told reporters regarding Stafford. “He’s tough as nails. Like I said the other day, he’s one of the few quarterbacks I like going out and watching warm up. Just watching him throw because he’s so special. I’ve always felt like he was one of the top four or five guys in this league for a long time. Like I said, he’s tough as nails and his guys know it. They know he’s going to suck it up for them.”"He can make every throw from every angle, and he’s just so, so talented," Arians said.
Aaron Rodgers
People were mentioning Mahomes' no look passes and Rodgers says Stafford has been doing all the time
"I must say this. You know, a guy who probably doesn't get anywhere near the credit for doing s--t like that all the time, he wears No. 9 and plays in Detroit.
"That dude, what he does with the ball, it's impressive. It's really, really impressive.
"I know [current ESPN analyst and ex-Lions backup quarterback] Dan Orlovsky will highlight some stuff from time to time, sure, because they played together and they're good friends, which he should, but that dude is throwing crazy no-lookers all the time, like, and he can throw from any arm angle."
Belichick
“He does an excellent job of seeing down the field in all situations,” Belichick said . “No matter how much pressure he’s under, he seems to find guys down there. Sometimes it appears that they’re covered, but he can put the ball where (Marvin) Jones in particular, but also (Kenny) Golladay, can go up and make plays on the ball.
“He’s very accurate and he’s got a strong arm. He can stand in there and make those throws, with or without a rush, in or out of the pocket, stationary or on the run. He’s extremely dangerous – one of the very best in the league for sure.”
