I think we'd be a contender for a playoff berth with Stafford. SB contender? Nah, I wouldn't go that far.

If you held a gun to my head right now about the rest of our current roster with Stafford, I'd probably agree with you, but I'd be very nervous and watching your trigger finger. I'm excited about the roster but it's easy to have rose colored homer glasses. I don't think they are all going to be as good as we think they are. Some are going to disapoint. My gut says we're probably still a year away even with middle of the road qb production.

Stafford is a guy that I would have gotten behind if we made that trade, but I don't necessarily have the highest opinion of him.

He's forever been one of those guys that you look at and think he's supposed to be great, but he somehow seems to fall short a lot.

And yeah, I know it's hard to judge when he's on the Lions. That's just been my read.
