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......

    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
    • The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
