    Rams fan here. Seeing how the people of Detroit talk about Stafford is a real testament to his character and gumption. I promise we Rams fans will treat him right, he clearly deserves it. And take care of Goff for us, he brought the Rams back to relevance and we will never forget it!

    • @johnboehmer6683
      @johnboehmer6683 3 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      He truly does deserve it, but the number of Detroit Whine-ons fans that made him the scapegoat of the down times were shockingly, repulsively numerous, unfortunately. Hopefully the football fans in Los Angeles are more knowledgeable and sensible to be able to steer clear, and just watch with your own eyes the throws this guy makes numerous times every game, that maybe two or three other QBs can make.
      The highlight of him making that throw against Miami on this highlight reel is an excellent example... Running left and throwing right against his body, side armed, to hit a receiver running right, about 3 inches out of the reach of the defender draped all over him for a touchdown. That's YOUR quarterback now, congrats.

      @@russelllangworthy8855 Russell, do yourself a favor, don't talk about things you have no idea about, it almost always ends badly. I have been a lifelong Lions fan, and have seen all of Stafford's lousy plays too. The only thing about that is, like virtually every national media pundit, and almost everybody outside of the metro Detroit area that can view him objectively, we see infinitely more good and excellent plays than bad, probably the reason why he's a top 15 (statistically speaking) QB of all time. NO ONE attains that from being consistently lousy, and he still has another five years left.
      Probably why he has humongously elevated the careers of guys like Burleson, Tate, Johnson (yes Johnson, no receiver goes to the Hall of Fame without great QB play), and Marvin. All these guys saw their careers take off immediately upon coming to the Lions. Tate being the best example, the guy who calls Stafford a better quarterback than Russell Wilson, or any he's played with... Average in Seattle, excellent in Detroit, almost non-existent since he left. And since leaving, he had Wentz and Jones, no slouches.
      I just got through dealing with another one of your buddies, and in the end he even had to acknowledge Stafford as a fringe Hall of Famer, that after running through all the usual rigmarole you all use to try to discredit him.
      Face it - QB may be the most important position, but football is a game with 52 players, and another 60+ personnel and coaches that determine the outcome of games. And as much as you would love to blame Stafford for the Lions mediocrity, it ain't happening.

Growing up watching Stafford play for the lions was such an honor, he never got the praise he deserved, was always overshadowed by Rodgers, Brady, Brees when he was on the lions(even though us lions fans knew he was on the same level as them). And today he finally showed everyone how lethal his arm is and finally won a well deserved superbowl ring. Thank you stafford for loving the city of Detriot you made us proud tonight.

    As a life long Lions fan, I’m buying his Rams jersey. I don’t care. Life with the Lions won’t be the same ever again. Calvin and Stafford were the epitome of what being a Lions fan was. The two best players at their positions in our franchise history.

And as far as your comment as being a better person, seriously? Megatron was one of the most humble players we’ve ever seen. Never bragged, never had off the field issues, he’s one of the greatest players on and off the field. Not sure where you’re going about Moore being a better person.

Not kidding myself he’s not top 5 all time he was highly debatable even making hall cause of short career and no mvp or playoff seasons. You are kidding yourself. Rice, moss, sharpe, monk, largent, Irvin, Harrison, Bruce, Moore, wayne, carter, moulds, reed, the Owens and countless others all have more receptions. Doesn’t make them all better but many were.

Wishing you success with the Rams & hopefully someday you make it into the NFL HOF. You have been a ideal team mate & role model here in Detroit.

Constantly willing to take the blame upon himself when teammates or refs were really the culprit for the loss. Tough-as-nails, playing through serious injuries, playing with a broken back and fingers. Give exorbitantly, not just his money but his time, his heart, into the city of Detroit.
