Stafford has a strong arm, quick release and can make solid throws while on the move. Started every game since his freshman season & developed into one of the most accurate college quarterbacks in the nation.

What is there not to like about this kid?

And having one of the best WR's to throw to is a huge plus.

I love the young core we have. Stafford-Smith-Johnson

Great players to build around.

I knew the Lions were going to end up taking Stafford & I think its the right choice. You could make an argument for drafting a Tackle to build your offense around but the Lions have the later first round pick to use in beefing up their O-Line. Don't forget how loaded this draft class is with solid lineman.

I agree that he is great and I have nothing against him, all I have against is the situation, of him getting so much money.

I mean, i can seriously just see this turning out into a Joey Harrington situation.

Yep, which is why I'm ok with taking Stafford.
I have faith in Mayhew and the new management.

How much money he's getting paid doesn't make him any less of a player. That's a fault of the system...ironically something Roger Goodell is making a huge push to re-invent.

If Matthew Stafford was coming from the Pac-10, I might listen to the argument that he's going to be a bust. He's an SEC guy & never referred to as "Matthew Heisman" prior to his senior season.

That said, no comparisons to Joey Harrington please.

This pretty much sums up how i feel about stafford.

Personally, I don't think he's a very good QB. He has a low football IQ, he's not a natural leader, and he's terribly inaccurate at times. To me, those are three of the most important things to look for in a QB, and Stafford doesn't really measure up well in any of them.

A four year starter at Georgia...how could he not be a natural leader to this point. His collegiate numbers also show a pretty good football IQ. He's not a flashy QB though...which is why I suspect your no fan of him TYO.

His high score on the Wonderlic Test doesn't hurt either :]
