Is Matt Stafford still with a contender?

Soft!? I heard she was throwing stale pretzels with sharp edges. She’s a firecracker.

Kelly threw a soft pretzel but Matt is throwing her stiff sausage. Lucky guy.

Love Stafford, but lets be honest here. Kelly is wearing the pants, clear as day!

To me, after getting an injury like that and taking a hit to your production and credibility as a NFL QB, I Think Matt Stafford has to prove again he can become a top QB again, once he starts the 2023 season.

I love Matt and I love that he has a Super Bowl ring. I love it even more because he wasn’t just along for the ride. He was a driving force.

But make no mistake. The 2022 season wasn’t a glitch for Stafford, it was a feature. In 12 years with the Lions Stafford had 8 losing seasons. Matt is definitely a force multiplier. But he is not going to turn a negative value into sprinkle covered icecream. Matt can overcome a bad offensive line if guys are getting open. If guys are not getting open, he needs a good offensive line. Its hard for Matt to deal with a bad defense, partly because his playing style adds to pressure on the defense. Matt can’t deal with 2 out of 3 bad units between guys getting open, offensive line protection and defense.

100% yes to all of this
