Stafford and Megatron hurting?


Chaos

Recommended Posts

It may not make a huge difference, but Stafford has a broken finger on his throwing hand affecting his grip on the ball so he's wearing gloves (but he said that had nothing to do with throwing four INT's yesterday). :rolleyes:

/David Carr flashback

Looks like Johnson got banged up near the end of the game as well. I doubt we're fortunate enough to catch the Lions without their offensive superstars on the field, but we need any edge we can find.

u're right it won't. The Panthers defense will show him sympathy and let him take his time throwing the ball.

Also as I said before, the Panthers are better get their fighting head ready because it seems the Lions don't take to well to losing. So if the Panthers manage to pull a win off, they better get ready to RUMBLE.

It was funny as heck seeing the highlight of Stafford trying to take down that guy on the Bears team. U sure it's not during that moment where he almost got his behind whopped that he injured his finger?:smilielol5::smilielol5:

I dont even see how this should be an issue-

we have two guys on our team who do nothing but kick the ball

if they cant keep their kicks out of the best returners hands we have a real problem

did you not see that white guy run one back on us?

I was going to say the Lions are not the same team they were the first 5 weeks, but hell we are losing to average teams, so we are going to need the Lions to have a bad day.

We're just a inconsistent team, which is normal because we're young.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
