Not doing that. He could've went to Denver, and they would've gladly traded for him. He fit in there nicely. Stafford is the older Andy Dalton of the NFC, pretty much.
All I need to know......
That 5-46 record is exactly why they had a choice.
And replace him with who?
Draft picks.
OLineman
DLineman
LBs
CBs
5-46. What good is it doing keeping him if that's his record vs winning teams.
You mean like the Cleveland Browns did? Moving a player for a surplus of picks has worked exactly ONE time....for the first half of his career the team was atrocious or he was injured....it wasn't Stafford who drafted Ebron over Aaron Donald and Odell Beckham and that is just one example....this is where the QB market is right now...
IF Kirk Cousins ? out another year, he'll get a contract that is very similar along with another host of QBs....I'm sorry...I don't subscribe to the lazy Skip Bayless way of looking at players based on record when you don't even have to be on the field to lose....Stafford is the only reason the Lions have a glimmer of hope -

Why?
What has stafford done besides throw for yards? He can't beat winning teams and doesn't have a playoff win? He gets scared in the crunch time they will regret this contract
Show me where Stafford was ever "scared"
you ? are remedial...

Y'all have the same amount of playoffs wins as them over the last couple of decades.
Their way didn't work due to poor draft picks.
Y'all way ain't working either.
It's always a good things to have draft picks to build. -

Who were they gonna replace stafford with if they let him go? They really had no choice
? quickly forgot the lions went 0-16 without stafford... -
Those were some cold days in the D lol

LeBatard made the perfect point. Stafford's a good QB when you look at the numbers, but for THAT price, you're not winning a Bowl with dude; you'd be the luckiest of lucky to even sniff the NFC Title game. So, damn near $140M for some 9-7 or 10-6 seasons, and the occasional 11-5 season with a first round exit if they have to play on the road in January....

Damn. Hard to argue against that..but QBs get paid in the NFL, that's just how it goes. Either you pay them or someone else will -

They are not a playoff team.
Falcons
Packers
Seattle
Giants
Cowboys
Arizona
Saints
Panthers
Bucs
Are all teams that are looking better than Detroit.
Might as well stock draft picks
Funny you bring that up...you know what all those teams have, reliable franchise QBs and w the exception of 2-3, those QBs been w the team for close to or over 10 years. -

That draft class was stacked...Zach Martin was still on the board. Wasn't Brandon Cooks still. Lions could've hit big. Imagine cooks or OBJ on the same field as Megatron, or Aaron Donald next to Suh...what a botched job. Is ok to whiff on a draft pick, but it's gotta hurt more when the class is stacked -

Y'all gotta good one ATL https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/mississippi-state-football/falcons-acquire-former-mississippi-state-defensive-lineman-j-jefferson/
Falcons acquire former Mississippi State defensive lineman A.J. Jefferson
Former Mississippi State defensive lineman A.J. Jefferson is headed back to SEC territory to play for the Atlanta Falcons.
On Tuesday, the Falcons announced several changes to their roster heading into Thursday’s game against the Jaguars, according to a report from AtlantaFalcons.com writer Kelsey Conway.
One of those roster changes included the acquirement of Jefferson, who heads to Atlanta after having spent time with the Los Angeles Rams.
During Jefferson’s college career in Starkville, he started two seasons at defensive end and notched 12.5 sacks, 35 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles throughout his career.
“In order to make room for Jefferson, Atlanta waived wide receiver Bra’Lon Cherry,” the report stated. “The Falcons now have 14 defensive linemen on their roster.” -

Kneezus back on the warpath.
I mean, if this isn't evidence that the preseason being shortened would benefit everyone, then there is none.

Ravens need to look at Joe Haden, depending on cap hit

A lot of heads been calling Joe overrated for years.
Gonna be funny to see if they change tones if he picks their squad...
