I guess the one positive about not having a franchise QB is we dont have to pay anyone.

5-46 against above .500 teams.

Still worth all that cheese though.

If we could just get an average QB id be happy

I've always liked Stafford. He is not the problem in Detroit.

wasn't he the last qb to get a mega deal under the old cba too?

Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good

On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
Lattimore please, Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
Engram at TE and the MJD clone Samaje Perine

Good enough to sell season tickets = big money for QBs

The Lions can win with Stafford even if he's not Brady or Rodgers - and they know that ten other teams would have been at least willing (if able or not) to pay him a similar salary for that reason alone.

This is an entertainment enterprise and the teams with better QBs have greater ability to entertain.

Don't be shocked when Rodgers gets a 200 million dollar contract.

I believe that was Bradford, but yeah he was one of the last ones. Either way, I was kind of surprised to see he was at 17 mil last year. For a guy who is pretty much a top 10 QB in his prime, that was a deal. When you see Carr and Stafford getting 25 mil a year, then you understand why Blake at 19 mil would be a great deal if he rediscovers his touch. Not counting on that, but I still agree with the decision to pick the option up.

The Lions were in QB purgatory for so long, no way they weren't going to get a deal done.
Better now than later if he has a stellar season and costs more...

Lions have never had much of a run game or a really effective defense... so while "he" doesn't have that great record against better teams...
He's the only reason they've been relevant the past few seasons.
