He's way too expensive for a starting QB who is closer to "middle of the road." His contract has held the Lions hostage. If Stafford was was a player coming out in the draft though, on a rookie deal, of course I would sign him. With Stafford, it's not about ability, it's about his contract.

No, as in would you have chosen him in the draft.

Today, based on his college stats alone, I would, but not as a first rounder and probably not as a 2nd rounder, but as a 3rd round pick definitely. Although his completion percentage was not good in college, I believe he made a huge leap his final season and showed improvement every year. That's what separates him. Tyree Jackson regressed from 60.3% to 55.3% last year. That is quite a dropoff and he had one of the better receivers in the country, (Anthony Johnson.)
