Good, stops us from doing something stupid.

He still has quite a zip and has always been able to launch rockets.  Crazy to think he's only a year older than Cam. Been steady at ~65% with throwing a lot of bombs to Golladay and Jones. 

It is pretty damn interesting to consider how he would do with a guy like CMC on his team.  He's never had that before.

We could do a lot worse.  I would at least talk to Stafford's agent to see if there's mutual interest.  If there's is I would keep an eye on the situation.

Indy?  went 11-5 and QB just retired.  Patriots? WFT?  Denver?

There are plenty of teams you could see Stafford as a good upgrade and from the outside looking in we don't look as appealing as a lot of the fans on this forum think.

 

 

 

 

We got better skill position players surrounding the QB than all 4 of those teams.  

All depends what you are looking for.

and we won 5 games.  I get being a homer, but really, lets try to somewhat realistic.

Indy went 11-5.  Pittsburg went 12-4.  Patriots have won the Super Bowl.  I'm not super sold on WFT but they did win the division, and had a better record then us.  None of the other teams in that division look stable so he might view that as favorable

We aren't nearly the FA destination that a lot of the fans think.

Yeah, we won 5 games....because we didn’t have a decent QB.  QB league. 

you think we win 5 games if you flip flop Teddy and Tom Brady this season? We are in the playoffs.

Let me ask you guys, what makes you think Stafford would want to come to the Panthers?

I just don't see it

How else is he going to give us that hometown discount when we resign him?

I heard somewhere Stafford said if we'd lost to Washington,  he'd sign. But since we won he's not coming...

Your fandom is cute.

and WFT won more than us without a QB

Pittsburg won more than us without a QB

Patriots won more than us without a QB

Indy won 11 games with Rivers, do you seriously not think that Stafford considers himself as good as Rivers.

Denver won more than us without a QB.

San Fran won more than us without a QB.

We have to be realistic here, Lions and Panthers both won 5 games last year.

Why would Stafford want out from a bad team to join another bad/rebuilding team??

We also have to remember that he doesn't get to pick.

Maybe instead of reaching out we should reach around.

He is from the south.  College ball at GA.  The Carolinas are nicer than Detroit.   No snow. Cost of living is good. 

and we had 3 WRs go over 1000 total yards last year...and CMC.  No team will offer a better set of skill position players. 

that’s the pitch. 

 

Pretty good pitch

The split seems somewhat amicable, I would think they will work with him to some degree.

They aren't going to give him away for nothing, also I'm sure they would like to keep him out of the division, but I expect them to work to help them get to somewhere he wants to be.

I specifically said we had better skill position players surrounding the QB than the teams you listed (now your adding Pitt and SF)   You never named one equipped with better skill position guys of the 4. 

Thinking Tom Brady wins more games in Carolina than Teddy isn’t being a Panther homer. We were in every game late....with a bad QB and no CMC.   QB driven league.  It matters.  

and I’m not buying into this silly narrative that is proven false every year ....that it takes years to contend.  You can become a contender or fall off the map overnight in today’s NFL in most scenarios.
