I wouldn't give shit for Stafford...He's the Rivers of the NFC
This was in 2017...
"Matthew Stafford is 5-46 against teams with a record over .500 in his career."
That's a big "no thanks...we're fine" if I were a GM.
That stat line is deeper than just playing in Detroit...
Someone is going to spend a ton of resources and get the next Cousins...maybe land a WC appearance every few years then tank in the post-season. [Reply]

It’s a no brainer for Denver. You trade that pick right away for Stafford.
If they want to trade #9 overall for a 33 year old QB that is frequently injured, then by all means... [Reply]
They’re ready to contend for their Division. They have the ability to do it. Their QB is retiring. They won’t be drafting high enough to grab a top prospect. They’re also in the AFC. [Reply]

Some player just dont have "it"...he's got a strong arm.
He's never had a defense. Never had a complete offense. Never had the coaching. All those losses aren't on him alone.
He not only has a better arm (both talent and strength), he makes better reads pre-snap than Cousins (not sure Cousins actually can make pre-snap reads), processes better during the play, and has always been a better situational QB than Cousins. Flip them, Stafford/MIN and Cousins/DET. Stafford with a real defense, and more than one offensive weapon goes to the playoffs every year. Cousins is out of the league in two seasons.
EDIT: okay, may be not this year. MIN defense was pretty bad this season, I believe. [Reply]
