Ok – there cannot be a debate anymore. Matthew Stafford is a great quarterback! Especially considering he plays for the Lions, with our lack of stability related to coaches, GMs, and front office vision.
According to Pro-Football-Reference.com, Stafford is tied for 4th in NFL history with 30 Fourth Quarter Comebacks – only trailing Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger. The last-minute drive to win the game on Sunday was ridiculous. And if Swift had caught the perfect pass Stafford laid on his hands at the end of the game vs the Bears on Week 1 this year, he would have another crazy comeback under his belt.
I would prefer that the Lions win a game with some ease, but in the meantime my Idea to Consider is this…Matthew Stafford is the best quarterback never to play in a Super Bowl. Have fun with that one.
PS – Next week will be a post on local government revenue and taxation policy. I attempt to limit these reads to between 5 and 10 minutes. Right now my thoughts extend beyond that limit so I need more time to condense and edit. Have a great week!
