Matthew Stafford is playing the best all-around football of his career under Jim Bob Cooter. But how he's done it has seriously evolved.
On Wednesday, ProFootballFocus broke it down even further. They showed Stafford's passer rating by route, and it further illustrated the point. Stafford posted a 119.4 passer rating on go routes, which was 32 points better than the NFL average. That's dominant.
He posted a 132.2 rating on corner routes (29.8 points above average), 121.1 on post routes (24.5 above average), 137.1 rating on comeback routes (61.7 above average) and 95.2 rating on in routes (14.2 above average).
In other words: Stafford crushed the league on comeback routes more than anything. But he was way above average on all downfield routes too. And relative to the rest of the league, his second-best route was a go.
Not bad for a guy who was sacked the second most times in the league, eh? Or a guy who had the worst running game in the league? Imagine how good he might be if Detroit ever solved those issues.Trickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice. The Lions NEVER get to play the Lions, let alone twice.

I truly believe that this Stafford issue will be put to bed in the next 3 years. Quinn is not going to fire Patricia if lions can't get over the hump. Stafford is going to get his running issues and defense fixed. Then we will find out if they can truly win with him or they'll have to move on. He's on his last contract with lions if they don't advance to at least not championship game or superbowl.

Even you, dWT, have to give Quinn and Patricia a chance to show they are not part of the usual sol cast. Stafford has a new 5 year contract but the first 3 years are the most heavy handed when it comes to the cap issues, so we have to go with the flow as fans and see where it plays out. We can start our bitching in earnest then. Even though I know us fans will be batching after 2 or 3 games next year.
