Matt Stafford is the suckiest suck to ever suck

[dpatnod]

Hey, DWT, I hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl.

[Sanders Fan]

Is Matt going to come home after his contract is up?

I believe this argument has been definitively settled.

[HenryTheDeuce]

He's now the suckiest suck to ever win a Super Bowl.

Lion's wasted 12 years of the future HOF QB.

I'm sure the Hater's Club will be suitably contrite when they get back from their camping trip.

Oh yeah. It's gonna be all "But, but, but this happened and that happened. He got lucky." Dum az

Hey Haters!


HOW DOES SUPER BOWL VICTORY CHANGE MATTHEW STAFFORD'S LEGACY?


BY: JACK MCKESSY FEBRUARY 15TH, 2022 THE DRAFT NETWORK

The Georgia football product was always a good quarterback. Shoot, you wouldn’t have been wrong to call him a great quarterback, even during his time with the Lions. Stafford has always had a cannon arm and it was something he got to show off early in his career with the talented Calvin Johnson as his No. 1 receiver out wide.

He also had a level of “clutch” that’s hard to measure tangibly outside of a couple of statistics: fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives. Stafford led the league in fourth-quarter comebacks twice and in game-winning drives three times. His best season-long clutch performance was in 2016, when he led eight fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives. Both marks were record-breaking and Stafford still holds both records today. As of the end of the 2021 regular season, the Tampa native is tied with Johnny Unitas for fifth all-time with 34 career fourth-quarter comebacks. He’s also tied with Matt Ryan for seventh with 42 career game-winning drives.

Even still, Stafford never got the same level of appreciation or accolades many other starting quarterbacks around the league did. The fact he was only named to a single Pro Bowl makes that clear. The reason why is obvious too: results. No matter how many yards or touchdowns he threw, how accurate he was, how many game-winning drives he led in a season, the Lions always found ways to lose in crucial moments.

The more I think about it, some of that lack of appreciation wasn't just because of the franchise. Detroit/Michigan has it's own fair share of haters too.

That is a very good article that lays a lot of what has been said out there. Not perfect but a good read!

That ring changes Stafford’s entire legacy. All of his strong years in Detroit weren’t a meaningless waste of talent on an otherwise talent-bare team, they were a preview of what Stafford could do with a good team around him. All of the critics saying he couldn’t perform in big games? They’ve been proved incorrect and their takes invalid.

HA!

[Futureshock]

The ones I want to see eat crow are all the national talk heads that were saying this stuff. Funny how they all jumped on his bandwagon. Of course they are spinning to say it was the Lions incompetence. But it just underscores how some of these people don't really know what you think they do.

Detroit/Michigan has it's own fair share of haters too.

Because Detroit hates talent.

[DeanUK]

His last three games had comeback drives, 3 games in a row is something special. He has to thank Detroit for all that experience 😁. Delivered with all that pressure of expectancy too

[froot loops]

I think this forum is going to need a new topic. The Stafford supporters won the argument that has dominated the forum for probably the last 8 or 9 years. It's a relief to be honest. Now it's time for the Lions to build a team that a franchise quarterback can win with.

The latest way to slam Stafford on the radio now is to dismiss any possibility of the Hall of Fame.

[JGSpartan]

Always gonna be people moving the goal posts instead of admitting they were wrong.
