Someone do the research..

was detroit as high on stafford as we are with luck? someone creep on some old lions forums. how about st. louis and bradford? i want to know if all this poo is legit, or does every team with the #1 draft pick hype up the player they might pick..

Most teams do when there's a clear cut number one pick, especially if it's a position of need.

Well, every team hypes the player. When things suck, hope is pretty much all you got.

Having said that, I know a lot of Lions fans and imo they were boosting Stafford more than we are Luck. Keep in mind that they had a much better idea that he was leaving college.

Having said that, we aren't remotely in the same situation as Detroit. We've had our fair share of disappointing picks but the Lions raised that to a science. I mean damn...

Also, (no offense to the folks here but,) there's a reason the vast majority of people here and on other sites don't get paid to pick talent. Sure there are a few who might (key word) be able to but even if the have good football knowledge & raw ability to judge talent, they don't have 1/3 of the information on a prospect. Even then, while its not as much of a crapshoot as most fans think, its still a crapshoot.

Hell, we could trade the #1 pick, get 2 first rounds, 2 second rounds, & a 1st round till 2014, & loose them all to injury.

Or lemme put it this way, remember when Philly fans were outraged that they didn't get Ricky Williams? Granted, they didn't get a Lombardi, but shows what fans know.

Inquiring minds want to know why you aren't willing to do the research, answer your own question, then share the results?

I did the research. Luck>Bradford>Stafford. Enthusiasm was high in St. Louis because they had no idea how good Luck would be. Now they are sad. In Detroit, they had to wonder if Matt Millen had anything to do with the pick. Nobody finds the first round busts better than he did.

Yes Stafford has had a couple injuries.... but he is no where near a first round bust... especially talent wise. He still has time to prove he can stay healthy.

Stafford has actually looked really impressive in his limited time.

Stafford will be fine. Strong arm. but he will probably not have the career Luck will.

[Delhommey]

Stafford will give the Lions 6 to 12 great games a year.

No way the Lions were higher on Stafford than you guys are on Luck. It's not physically possible.

This.

The worship he's getting around here from some folks you'd think he already declared, we already drafted him, he already had a 10 year career with perfect passer ratings every game, and he already brought home 4 Lombardi trophies.

my best friend just moved back from alabama. i took him out to a few bars last night and really dont remember creating this thread. certain people enjoy looking this kind of stuff up, i just like the answers. honestly, i'm not going to get butt hurt if no one responds. its not that big of a deal. it's time to celebrate, i'll drink one for you tonight.

I slammed so much Luck last night that there isn't enough Stafford in the world to keep a Detroit fan as high as me.
