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......

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
