Matt Stafford is the suckiest suck to ever suck

I don't get how a guy can be a fan of a team but doesn't like any player.

I don't get how a guy can be a fan of a team but doesn't want them to get past being mediocre.

It must be a special kind of stupid. You full in love with the players so much that you can't see it's them holding the team back.

Hey,
This thread is still kicking! Hi everyone!

For the past while... Since the end of last season... I've been ignoring all things Lions, and saving myself agonizing over past failures and avoiding considering future failures.

But now it's almost time for the 16-17 game self-punishment cycle to begin anew. I'm ready to share your pain once again.

Go Lions!

PAIN!!!!

This is from an article written for the Freep by Carlos Monarrez. The Column is called Inside the Lions. The Article name is "Pity promising Rudock will soon fade from scene".

The following quote is from T J Jones regarding Rudock when he comes into the huddle.

“He tells you what to do. He’s like a younger Stafford,” Jones said. “He gets in it, he says the play with confidence, he lets you know what you have.
“He’ll tell you what you need to see. If he has to point something out, he points it out and you go with the play. You don’t miss a beat.”

The following is a response from Monarrez.

Before we go any further, let’s get
this straight. Jones was not trying to stir
any kind of quarterback controversy,
and neither am I.
What I am trying to stir is a little
thought here. Stafford has had every advantage built into his career, whereas Rudock has had to overcome several obstacles. He had to learn three offensive systems in three years, he was a sixthround draft pick and was relegated to the practice squad. Yet he has still clawed his way to becoming a proficient NFL quarterback.

Sadly, this isn't 1950's football. It's what a QB does AFTER the huddle breaks that makes all the difference. It's why teams, even when they have 6 O-lineman and 2 TE's on the field still can't run the ball.

[Malto Marko]

Well, the sampling is small but Rudock has put up numbers when he was given a chance to play.

We have not seen him against #1's all game long though.

[dwt1]

It's not about numbers, it's about making the handful of plays that wins games.

It's now more numbness than pain. ;-)

Cheers!

Great threads never die, they just stick in dipshit1's craw as he prepares for his beloved packers to start-a-packing.

Matty S,is the best! Screw you haters

[Malto Marko]

I am thinking Stafford made a handful of plays that won a game after starting off with a pick 6.

Problem was, it was not against a winning team, .....at least, not for a couple of weeks.

That Card defense is legit. Stafford took it to a very good secondary but I'm not sure they'll be an above .500 team.

Palmer is terrible. Mike Glennon might be an upgrade

I have a working theory that dwt does not exist. He is a computer AI program that has processed all of our masochistic self-loathingness that is a Detroit Lions fan and the program is communicating with us in the only way it understands. This is first contact, folks, and we need to be better ambassadors to represent humanity.

Ha!
