Seriously is Matthew Stafford the worst QB in the NFL

And he gets paid like a superstar.

Would be the worse in terms of what he is getting paid. The worse QB in the league though, maybe Top 3 worse and could be number 1 in that list.

Agree he is way overrated but guys like Sheli and Brees have plenty of weapons and Super Bowl rings despite having seasons where they throw a ton of picks. I think he's a 12-15 guy but certainly many worse Qb's in the league starting. When you think about it probably 2/3 of starters in the league are just an injury away from losing their job to some upstart that can come in and reel off a couple wins while playing good. Cutler was just in a similar spot and was losing his mind watching his stock drop in a contract year.

Only thing for Cutler is for years, he never had a good line to protect him. If he has time to throw, he is money. Stafford. NOPE. He has all day and still throws picks.

Oh I agree Cutler has amazing talent and that's why he did not lose his job. Although I do think he's reached his ceiling not sure he's a guy that's going to reel of a bunch of playoff wins but he kinda has that Farve, Romo thing with the gunslinger approach. Just saying if you are not one of the elite or at least a top 10 guy with a track record you are an injury away from a Foles coming in going 4-1 while putting up #'s and you are out of a starting gig. Seen it happen to better Qb's than Stafford how bout Bledsoe for starters!

Agree with that, unless you get hardware. I am laughing hard about Flacco. Seriously, he had talent around him, but honestly, IMO average at best. But he won a SB.

R.P. McMurphy · 12-29-13, 03:19 AM

Yeah Flacco, Ryan, Eli, Cutler are just a few I put on the list that are that on that next tier down from great/elite. Funny how things work at times. For instance if Eli does not pull an Elway on draft day and winds up with the Turner/Smith mess he does not have two rings. And while he is a flake Rivers from a pure talent standpoint is above Eli and could have got the job done in NY with that defense, receivers, Coughlin. Shit happens!

coitus_maximus · 12-29-13, 03:27 AM

Yup, could of been worse. Could of went to Oakland. Just joking, but Oakland needs help. I am always seeing Pryor running around with no protection. I am wondering if management even cares about their product.

R.P. McMurphy · 12-29-13, 03:38 AM

Damn who knows about Oak it's so frustrating this is our worst stretch by far in 50+ years. Just waiting for that right situation to come around again like Gruden/Gannon. Watched that 30/30 several months back on 83 draft and it just made me sick all ov again. Had a shot possibly at Elway and certainly could have taken Marino. Then you do the math after the 83 season is when our dynasty collapsed from round 85-98 we were bad/average all those years till Chuckie/Gannon arrived. Would have been so sweet to have one of those guys fill that gap it would have done even more for our legacy. I was 6 when the draft happened but been watching nfl since 85 and been a Raider fan since 89 so I have seen the mediocre, great, terrible and still a fan! And we missed ARodg a several years back as well, Brady many times ov but who didn't? Lol

R.P. McMurphy · 12-29-13, 03:44 AM

When you go back thru time though there is always one constant that = winning for the most part. Dilfer /Flacco aside haha it takes a great Qb in the right system with a great coach and supporting cast = Lombardi hoist! If you have those guys cherish them cause they don't come around often.
