jkirchofer Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Have there been any rumblings about the possibility of trading for Stafford? Mort & Schefter of ESPN report that he could be available if the Lions want to make a move towards the future. He has no guaranteed money past this year and although comes with a hefty price tag is a franchise quarterback with proven numbers. Thoughts?

I don't know of many teams that's trying to get rid of a "franchise" QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 we are in the same situation we were in with Fitz. we have a guy who is doing sort of good, he might be the guy so let's wait and see. doing that with Fitz really set us back and we missed out on a lot of good players in the meantime (TJ Graham instead of Russel Wilson, oops!). also, keep in mind we just gave a ton of money to our DL and LeSean McCoy and Charles Clay. we were able to do those things because we don't have to pay a QB. i don't think we could afford someone like Matt Stafford even if he did become available without making some big moves (Mario perhaps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Quint Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I doubt the lions deal him. They'd be better off rebuilding the roster around him, no matter the cost. Even though he isnt an elite, top 5 QB, he's a proven starter in this league, and those are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'd say yes but I really think Tyrod can be just as good or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinaccia Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Not going to happen unfortunately. This would be the trade to make if it was possible. I don't think it would be and think the Lions will sign him long term. But yeah if it's possible you trade the farm for a guy like him. He's an excellent QB. Ryan would prefer Taylor over him though. He sticks to his QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) He's Jay Cutler's younger brother Yeah, and it's not like either of them have been to the playoffs. Oh, wait ... Always amazes me how Bills fans disparage other team's QBs when we haven't had anyone of that quality since Bledsoe. Not saying I love Stafford, but beggars can't be choosers.

Yes but he is not worth his contract and he is not worth giving anything of value to aquire. Would he be better than most of the trash since Kelly. Yes. Would he be worth the investment - no.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'd trade EJ for him. Gives us a better backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'd trade EJ for him. Gives us a better backup. Then we can trade for Johnny Manziel and maybe get JaMarcus Russel to be QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
