I would say this...

The fact that we're reported to be in the discussion at what would now be a late stage in things given the news that we've heard would tell me it wasn't just a preliminary inquiry.

The interest sure sounds genuine.

I don't think it's late stage yet, more middle stages. I'd be surprised if we were one of the 2-3 finalists for Stafford. There's still a week before the SB, that is a ton of time for this to move along closer to a deal within the reported timeframe.

One week (or less) to go is "late stage" to me.

Throw in Dan Campbell's comment about the talks "heating up".

when drew brees was 7-9 three years in a row or aaron rodgers went 6-9-1 did you scream that he was not an elite QB? these teams are more than their QBs its 21 other players out there that need to do their jobs. its disingenuous to judge any of these QBs solely on their record

Deshaun Watson (absolutely an elite QB) won 4 games this year (Jax twice, NE, and Detroit).

A little arithmetic...

Original reports had "a third of the league" contacting the Lions about Stafford. That's probably eleven teams.

Albert Breer's latest word includes seven teams. Specifically, Washington, the Panthers, Patriots, Colts, Bears, 49ers and Rams. He has reservations about the last two, though.

If he's right, it's a five team race, and one of those five teams is a division rival so that's hard to imagine.

In a radio interview earlier in the day, he highlighted Washington and Carolina as strong possibilities.

Just reviewed some stuff from Albert Breer.

Breer puts us "solidly in" the discussion, though he notes we're one of seven teams talking to the Lions right now. Said Lions brass was in Mobile this week and a lot of talk went on down there.

One thing that caught my attention: he takes the idea of Stafford going to the Panthers more seriously than he does him going to the Rams or the 49ers.

That made me 😳

Both of those teams have QBs on bad contracts they cant get around

If they took him....Teddy would be a good bridge QB on a 1 year deal basically

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
