I like Stafford and I know hes popular in Detroit but is he seen as 'the guy' by Lions fans? You guys have a brutal division every year and hes just not been able to have that playoff run or reach a SB. Hes getting older and seemed to be looking elsewhere.

For most teams this would be panic stations, look at Houston, but Detroit have a younger QB who like you say has played most games in his career and some very important ones too. Throw in 2 1st round draft picks and for a situation that could have really hurt Detroit they got an impressive haul. 

I dont really rate any of the Rams WR's after Kupp and Goff has been the easy target to blame. Not sure adding Stafford suddenly makes that O click.

Stafford has had the worst run game in the league pretty much his whole career. He’s rarely had good coaching and the one time he had a top 10 defense, he went 11-5.

He’s one of the most underrated stars in the NFL and he should really flourish in LA. Not sure who won the trade but I think it’s a rare instance that it works out for both teams.

My fear with Trevor is that the Jags do to him what the Lions did to Stafford.

I do agree with what you say, Stafford is a very good QB, of course hes been let down by the FO talent wise but I see time and again on here that top QB's can overcome no run game, they can win with scrub WR's. As said above, I wonder if Stafford has been too long in Detroit. 

I agree both teams should be happy with what they have but the Rams have gone all in that Stafford can take them over the top.

And definitely, the biggest crime we could do to Lawrence is act like he can do it on his own.
