If we trade Detriot our first for Stafford I'm done. I'm out.

That won't be happening...at least not this year's first.

I will say if we stand pat and don't trade or sign a FA QB and the QB we want isn't available at #8, I'd say trade back a little and draft Mac Jones.  We get maybe an extra 2nd rounder and a rookie QB who possibly could be a franchise QB.

This would be pushing all our chips onto the table, but Jones is getting drafted somewhere in the mid first round.

You really think they can win 8 games in a season with Teddy you are dumb

We will improve the roster, and with CMC playing at least most of the we'll be at or near 8 wins. What would you like to bet? We get near or at 8 wins and you change your avatar to an image that says "I don't know what I'm talking about"

Signing Stafford is a backwards move for this team. Don’t compound a Teddy mistake with another over the hill QB that has never won anything in his life. 

Yeah he has always been on a crappy Lions team we would have CMC, Moore, Anderson to go with him. Better than trading the whole team for Watson.

In my opinion, I do not see them bringing in another big contract.  With Teddy, a rookie deal is manageable.  So if we were to take in Stafford, a move I think makes us an instant contender, we would have to renegotiate some contracts--mainly Stafford's.

When have the lions ever been contenders? Signing Stafford gets you better stats than Teddy and maybe two more wins. That’s about it.

Remains to be seen...

However, put Stafford behind a decent line w/our weapons and some upgrades on D and I like this team's chances to make some noise in the playoffs.

wow so you have no idea and want to stake the long-term success of our franchise on a hypothetical because you think we can get a couple seasons to "make some noise"

 

I'm convinced, let's dig into those high value spots were now afforded the luxury of taking

Get Stafford and draft Kyle Pitts in the first instant boost to the offense. 

I'd focus on oline since Stafford isn't too mobile and in his mid 30s.

In this new age of QBing he could play into his late 30s early 40s if he wanted to probably. I don't think he's had catastrophic injuries has he? 

In any case he's probably alot better than Teddy.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
