He did nothing for the Lions except ask to be traded after 11 unsuccesful seasons of not winning a dividion title or one single postseason game. All of the success which the Lions are now enjoying has happened since Stafford was traded and no longer a part of this team.
@@Charleybones braindead take.. he played at a pro bowl level all seasons he was healthy and gave us something to be excited about every sunday he was on the field
It was a rough decade of Lions football under Stafford but nobody could ever question his toughness and arm talent. His 4th quarter antics were the reason no Lions fan could turn off the game down by 14. What few fans talk about tho is his dedication to the community bro did a lot here without any notoriety
As a Lions fan, I will always love Stafford. He laid it all on the line with us every week. I wish we could have gotten you there. If Sheila was running it during his time, things would have been different.
This is not facts. Patricia happened still. Changing your name from Ford to Hamp to avoid the narrative of the Fords destroying this franchise was smart on Sheila’s part. Dan Campbell was the biggest blessing for this team. Players love him and play very hard for him.
Depending on if the Lions can do something with the momentum we've built over the last 2 seasons the Stafford-Goff trade could go down as the most mutually beneficial trade in NFL history.
The one thing media does not cover much with Matthew. Stafford and his wife Kelly is every Christmas. They go in take care of a family who's had times or tragedy and they spend the whole Christmas Eve with them, giving them presents. And not just the drop off. I mean, they literally will spend the whole night with them.. Lots of great christmas gifts for thier children and their families.
The fact the 2 best single receiving yard seasons were both with this man under center is very impressive not a huge rams fan but nothing but respect to stafford
He made Kenny Golladay look like such an all-Pro that the Giants gave him a huge contract. They released him after two years and he's out of the league now. That was all Stafford.
Glad to see Stafford getting credit from Lions fans. The ones on here saying he was a waste of time in Detroit are absolutely delusional. I’m not a Lions fan but I’ve always respected Stafford and his toughness. Glad he got a ring
I’ll say this. I’m a lions fan since I was born. 1990 and one playoff win. It’s reality. I’m happy of the team so far this year. However I respect stafford for the years he did in Detriot. Getting us back to the playoffs. Nothing but respect for him. Best luck on his next move.
@@freedomthefreeman487You clearly didn’t watch him play man. How was he not elite when he made his receivers look elite. Good example, got Kenny Golladay a pro bowl and 70 mil contract with giants. Recently made Demarcus Robinson look like a WR1.
I've been a Lions fan all my life and a self proclaimed "die-hard" fan for 15+ years and can honestly say I have NEVER met a fan that wanted him gone unless it was for him to do what he did and get himself a Superbowl win that he deserved
So underrated as qb. His arm talen is all time with patty mahomes. And he was doing it first. Toughest qb ive seen play. Shame they couldnt get the ring for detriot, but damn if he didnt give it everything he had. Literally left it all on the field. So glad he got a ring because he deserves his gold jacket. Glad to see real lions fans still showing you love matt. You deserve it.
Toughest QB ever to play was the ol' gunslinger himself, Brett Favre. Stafford is a lucky one hit, mediocre wonder. And definitely not a first ballot HOF'er.
This Stafford is what Detroit needed all those years, he was so much more reserved and shy when the Lions had him… th is may be the first time I’ve seen him cuss on camera and still seem comfortable about it. Relaxed, not worried about what anyone thinks. It’s too bad he had to go through Fat Matt and that 💩 show.
Would love to see what prime stafford could do with this new lions team. No knock on Goff at all. The REAL lions fans love Goff and I know he will take the lions to the Superbowl.
Matt’s a DGD! Nothing but respect for the man. He was the QB at Georgia around the time when I first started really paying attention to and learning about football.
Great dude, best Lions QB ever (btw, HE can actually throw it far enough for Jame-o to run under it lol)! You know what question I'd like to hear? "Does it irritate you that Detroit FINALLY hired a GM that knows what he's doing, but more importantly, does it irritate you a little that they finally hired a coach in Dan Campbell that personifies the type of player you are? And would you have loved playing for a guy like him?". Still waiting on that....
Goff will never win a big game when you are behind in the 4th quarter. Just like in his super bowl, He will throw a pick. Would be great to see Detroit get a super bowl, but Goff better be playing from the front with a really good O line
@@fiocchiprops2442 goff is a better qb for Detroit currently then stafford ever was 😭 love how u mention his o line when Stafford literally had the most dominant wr of all time
As a Bears fan, I was always jealous of Detroit because they had the QB and I didn't know what that felt like. I felt for the fans having a stud at the most important position but yet just couldn't seem to ever put it together. I related with that
Long time rams fan here. Loved stafford so much that i was probably the only rams fan thay wanted the rams to draft him. When the lions got him, i was excited as hell for the fanbase. When the rams got him, i was absolutely ecstatic. Im absolutely happy for the Lions fanbase ajd they deserve all the success in the world.
Pat: "Wentz will give the ball to the other team more than you will Matt..." Reality: "Wentz has fewer INTs than Stafford in the last 24 starts of each player respectively and has 3rd or 4th fewest INTs of any starter in the last 7 years combined"
@@Ivypoison23 90% of those fumbles were because he had a makeshift O-Line when Lane Johnson got hurt, Jason Peter's got hurt, then Jason Peters' replacement got hurt and Mailata had to start before he even understood the proper technique... Most INTs are in the control of the QB. Most fumbles are not.
@Ivypoison23 and we shouldn't give RB's slack for fumbles when their O-Line sucks because they literally never fumble because of their O-Line. They fumble AFTER they already broke thru the 1st level more often than not. It's much different when a QB is still in the pocket and a blindside defender knocks the ball out while the QB can't hold the ball like a RB. Much much different scenarios
To be honest, Matt still might win us a Super Bowl... just not with us. But the draft capital that we got in that trade and the players we got with those picks have really elevated us to where we are. It's almost like the Herschel Walker trade for Dallas. If we win a SB with these guys, Matt had a hand in it for sure.
When stafford says he misses the people most about. Thats not a cliche. I moved to FL from MI and you learn that people from michigan are a special type of genuine.
Also when STAFFORD went to the Rams me and my wife watched his games and rooted for him as a 2nd team. Still a Lions fan but all of us fans and I’m sure a lot of his ex lions teammates felt vindicated somehow when he won. He’s still THE MAN……HAVING SAID THAT I NOW REALLY LIKE GOFF!!!!!!!!!
It was so weird seeing a Lions QB that would not go into drrrrrrrree bubbles mode but rather just continue to be excellent and fight to the end of the game.
Been watching the lions since I was 6 yrs old with my dad I'm 47 now Matt was the best QB we had since watching the lions he would definitely would be killing it with the team we have the sun god and jamo would love him they would do crazy numbers
Packer fan. Seen him a ton. He always made an error in third quarter. Other than that, tough as nails, accurate. Saw a video where he was just physically blasted repeatedly but he kept going to get in the end zone. Amazing playing through the pain.
I'm a panthers fan, but respect to Stafford. If anyone was deserving of a ring it was him. All those years staying with the lions and the immediate ring season on his trade to LAR. He's got nothing left to prove, i don't think anyone with sense wood be upset if he retired right now.
I believe his wife was a huge supporter of almost anything Detroit. She promoted local businesses quite often. That was a very nice gesture on her part and i believe it would have gotten much more traction had she stayed in Detroit.
He deserved to be a champion. All the work he put in the D on and off the field I speak for most fans in saying thank you for doing your best in the good times and bad. Your UPS driver and dog groomer miss your family and hope all is well. 😝

The Playoffs? High standard you have there.
Lions will win the 2024 Super Bowl.
As a huge Lions fan I love Stafford. Even though he wasnt perfect, he played his heart out every snap.
I second Foxy's sentiment. Detroit loved to see him win the Super Bowl. Thanks for making the games worth watching along with Megatron ❤❤
Joique Bell, Glover Quinn, Levy, Tulloch, Suh etc were reasons to watch. Stafford was good/great but not elite. Megatron is a different story.

I think The Rams actually gained almost the entire state of Michigan as a temporary fan base when they were making their Superbowl run in 2021.
as a person who lives in michigan i can confirm that this is in fact 100% true
Not 100% true. Many Michiganders wanted Stafford gone. He made a lot of boneheaded decisions in the pocket and die hards were ready to move on.

As a Detroiter just here to say much love n and thank you for all the good and the bad statty
STAFFORD!!! We’ll love u forever 9’r!! Thanks for how u represented Detroit, bout as tough and classy as it gets
Favorite QB of all time, man. Absolute legend. Miss him here in the D, but so glad for his success in LA.

If you are ever in doubt of how good Stafford is - the man single-handedly put Kenny Golliday into a probowl.
And got him a 70 milly contract
