whole lotta money for an average QB

With the trend in salaries of QB's this sounds about right. The guaranteed money is pretty high, but about $17.5 million average per year puts him below the players who recently got paid who are obviously better than him. Starting qb's in the NFL simply make a lot of money.

Between his rookie contact and this extension Stafford has made fricking bank.

doesn't he have like a .200 winning percentage against teams with a .500 or above record?

Bill Simmons calls him "Matthew Stafford if he's healthy"

With each new QB contract, Brees looks more and more like a bargain.

The Lions needed to make it worth his while to knock down his 2013 cap number, which was absolutely obscene.
This extension is more of a referendum on how great his agent was in negotiating his rookie contract than on how great Stafford is now.

better hope megatron and reggie bush save that career

They really didn't have any other options. Expect another shitty season and bank on getting a rookie QB and hope he pans out? Or, sign a free agent QB from the scrap heap? It'll be interesting see how everything pans out this coming season. If the defense can improve and Schwartz can keep control of the team and avoid bonehead decisions, they should be decent.
