Hat's Off to Matthew Stafford


Recommended Posts

I thought Matthew Stafford showed some real grit and toughness yesterday.  

He took a beating like I have never seen by a QB. 6 sacks and a couple knockdowns but he kept getting up and fighting back.  He was one reception away from completing an epic comeback.   As much as I love what our defense did most of the day he was tearing us apart going down the stretch.  He had more tape on him than I knew existed.  Bad ankle, busted leg and blood on his hand.

I am thrilled we won and terrified had he got one more chance.  Thanks Cam and KB.

It was a great win and well deserved but my Hat is off to Matthew Stafford for showing his toughness and competitiveness.  Very much admired.

I like Stafford. We all talk about how our franchise is inconsistent... Cam has more wins in 2 fewer seasons. That organization squandered so many hall of fame careers.

So sad.   They had one of the greatest running backs ever to play the game but did nothing with him.   I think they made the playoffs once (one and done) with Barry Sanders.

    • First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????
    • I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field. 
    • Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
