I cant believe hes trash talking Shaun Rodgers. Hes a brave one for sure.

Stafford has that enthusiasm like Favre. Just love for the game.

I don't care what any of you say, that's pure, unadulterated love for the game. That's a classy kid, that Stafford. Shit, I kind of wish we could have nabbed him now.

I like him, he has attitude, kind of reminds me of Rivers, my favorite QB, he has good command of the huddle too.. he always talking thats good... i think good QBs are always talking to there players and keeping them motivated... something are QBs dont do much, or atleast i dont see..

Rivers is my personal favorite QB, but after watching that game and now listening to the mic'd up, Stafford definitely has moved way up on my list.

Holy cow I see nothing but Rivers in this dude.

Stafford is a stud. A natural born leader and will be great in this league!

I'm waiting for Eric Mangini to accuse Stafford of lip syncing

Did I say stud? I meant Dud!

Good read, thanks for sharing.

I don't hear anything special.

Do you really think Brady Quinn & Derek Anderson don't try and talk up the team while they are in the huddle? All QBs do this, no news to anybody.

Then why to you suppose the networks felt the need to 'mic Stafford up'?

Perhaps BQ & DA are good boys and would sound the same as Stafford, or they could be tools such as Braylon Edwards and get caught being unfocused and asking questions about how to get into modelling outside of football ...

I seem to think Stafford was used because the kid has something geniune about him. Something worth sharing.

mario

what did he say that was so geniune? I hear nothing out of the ordinary.

mario

they mic up somebody because it gets viewer hits... eventually most starting QBs will have this mic on it. It might have something to do with stafford being the #1 overall pick........ just a thought.

It's what he didn't say, or do. It was a great game to mic him, 5 td's, game winning drive with no time on the clock. The guy gets burried into the turf, and limps to the plate like Kirk Gibson and delivers.

No producer could have written that script any better.

The kid won me over, and I hate all QB's.
