    Which translates into us giving up 2 first round picks to get him.

    Stafford is a fully-developed Cardale. Let someone else pay for below-league-average performance.

    I'd go after Stafford hard if he was coming into FA. Not sure about trading for him though cause Detroit is going to want draft picks. Not sure what they need but if they were willing to take some defensive players off our hands for Stafford than yes, absolutely.

    Never. Same goes for Cutler and kaepernick

    If we could get him without overpaying, I would take him. Of course, he would not be a quick fix to turn this team around, but it would kind of stabilize the qb position, so we could fix the bigger problems.

    stafford with a decent OL and weapons would be scary in cleveland.

    too bad we have neither.

    I would take him for certain if the price is right.

    I'd be interested... But why would the Lions get rid of him. Not easy to replace a QB... As we all know...

    The culture shock would be the difference between throwing to a nice target like Calvin Johnson and downgrading to our 2 little Oompa Loompas with no catch radius.

    Would I take a chance on a guy like him? Hell yes, but it all depends on the price. And don't forget, he had a hall of fame WR playing with him for his entire career. A giant hall of fame WR at that. Not a bunch of mighty mouses.

    Precisely what I was thinking. He will be way to expensive.

    I dig Stafford. Depending on what it would take to get him, I'd be all for it.

  • D darubes

    I would. Depending on what it took.

    The Detroit Lions have begun cleaning house. In the past week or so, the team has fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, general manager Martin Mayhew and team president Tom Lewand.

    Could the starting quarterback be on his way out of Motown, too?

    Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Matthew Stafford’s future with the Lions is “very much in doubt” beyond the 2015 season. Stafford is partially responsible for Detroit’s 1-7 record, as he has thrown 11 interceptions — tied for second-worst in the NFL behind Andrew Luck — compared to 13 touchdowns.

    The future beyond 2015 for #Lions QB Matthew Stafford is very much in doubt, as I understand it.

    Earlier this week, Stafford came to the defense of Jim Caldwell after the Lions coach complained that the media in Detroit is too negative. But it wasn’t the media that started all of the talk of opponents knowing what plays the Lions are going to run before they run them.

    Detroit signed Stafford to a three-year extension worth $53 million in new money two years ago. He is under contract through 2017, and his base salary jumps up to $17 million with a salary cap hit of $22.5 million in 2016. The Lions will likely have to eat money if they find a way to get rid of him.

    Stafford is capable of playing well and is just 27, so it would be premature to write him off. Heck, his wife thinks the refs have been part of the problem this season. But if the Lions are truly blowing everything up and rebuilding, moving on from their highly-paid quarterback would make sense.

    I hear you loud and clear. Under different circumstances, I'd take a chance on this guy. On the upside, he can throw the ball. On the other hand, he doesn't seem to have 'winning' in him - regardless of playing for the Lions.

    However................................for one, I am getting tired of 'taking chances'. This organization has high draft pick after high draft pick and have very little to show for it.

    Let's get a QB with credentials - likely through the draft - and take it from there.

    Good teams can afford to take chances. Lousy teams don't have that luxury, IMHO.
