Would You Take a Shot At Matthew Stafford?
-
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.
Ian Rapoport@RapSheetThe 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.

Again to this point he is better than any QB currently on the Browns roster. If he becomes available you make that determination again and weigh the cost vs benefit. The one point I agree with Farmer on is you add players that are better than yours whenever possible. Just wonder how he made that determination on Dwayne Bowe?

He is only 27 and with a big arm. Sometimes a change of
scenery can do a person some good.I would not give up
a first rounder but maybe a combo of players and drfat
picks.How about Dwayne Bowe and Johnny Manziel for
Stafford and Calvin Johnson???? LOL…...

Absolutely yes

I don't like Stafford. At all. He just misses too many throws....he looks great when a throw is on target...but the thing about Stafford is that he makes a higher percentage of open misses down the field than about any qb in the league. A few of his decent years(and definitely his best year when he threw 40tds I believe) a bunch of those throws were a prime CJ just pulling jump balls out of the air.....what is Stafford going to throw those same covered jump balls to Hawkins and expect him to make a play? lmao....
-
I wouldn't, but I'm guessing The Browns would love to have him. I don't know if they have the means to get him though.
-
sure we have the means.....we have some players and draft picks. Hes not even worth a full first round pick

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

No way.

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.
