Nfl.com: Stafford's Great, But Newton's Better

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...

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 .............

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.

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

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......

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
