I wonder how many fans are gonna use the pro bowl as an argument in the comment section.

n/m no comments :) to the lions board

I really don't like this whole comparison game. I know Cam's a superstar and people like talking about him, but it's time for him to just play his game and prove it to everyone.

That's the fun of the offseason I guess.

Swap smitty and calvin and i bet u'd see cam break 5k yards and stafford just over 4k. smith is incredible, but calvin is so ridiculously easy to get the ball to. u just throw it 15 feet in the air into quad coverage and he comes down with it uncontested. way too much leaping ability + height.

Can also say give the Lions our running game, and watch how much easier it is for Stafford to pass the ball...

Honestly, I think Stafford was snubbed.

Look, Cam is harder to stop. Everyone knows the key to stopping Safford is stopping Megatron.

Stafford is a good QB. Too many what if's, when you start talking about who's better. I like Cam more but I maybe biased :). However I couldn't fault the Lion fans for feeling the same way. Saying Stopping Stafford means stopping Megatron is crazy. Did Megatron get 5000 rec yards last year? If not then .............

Agree

Yea but stafford had literally no reliable backs this year with Best and the rookie being out.

If he had a running game like ours he mighta laid back a bit on the passing when it kicked in like with newton.

This. Megatron is a huge part of that team but Pettigrew had 777 yards, Burleson had 757, Young had 607. Hell in week 2 and 14 Megatron had 29 yards each. Stafford had 294 and 227. Week 13 Megatron had 69, Stafford had 408. Wouldn't exactly call that stopping him.

Megatron is often tripled. So of course that's gonna open up more receivers.

Well we kinda stopped Megatron, we held him to 89 yds and 0 TD's, but we allowed 5 different WR's to get a TD and gave up two rushing TD's, I know I know, our DEF sucked......

Exactly my point. Stopping Megatron isn't the key to stopping Stafford because he is plenty capable of hitting other players
