Well taking all of this into account, you must think Joe Burrow is one of the best to ever do it, right?

Bengals were 2-14 pre burrow.

Bengals had a worse playoff record than the Lions before this season.

The Lions had actually won a playoff game more recently than the Bengals too.

Very funny when one of a trolls various stupid arguments come back to backfire, and he disproves an ignorant narrative that he, himself, created.

Gotta disagree here, given recent selections and their reasoning


Agreed.

Harold Baines is in the HOF.
Barry Bonds is not.

MLB is the worst of all of them.

ok? And he did jack shite with him in the 93 games he did have him

Wilson was a game manager his first 5-6 years in the league.

His first 5 year averages

3640 yards, 25-26 TDs, 9 INT, 5.6 TD%, 2 INT%, 8.0 YPA. So the "game manager" Russell Wilson still had better numbers than the "HOF" Matt Stafford.

The excuses for Stafford never end for some.

I'd love you to apply the same logic to Joe Burrow btw but there's no chance you ever will.

Two years ago lol. They were still trash in 2020. The Bengals made the playoffs 5 times in the 10 years before they drafted burrow. The Lions made the playoffs one time in the 10 years before they drafted Stafford.

You remind me of Burrow from Sunday: a broken useless mess.

His first full season as a starter he came like the third QB to ever throw for 5k yards in a season but sure that’s nothing.

Ah, so you think there's a significant difference in going 0-16 compared to 1-15 or 2-14? But since you asked....the Browns went 0-16 in 2017, 1-15 in 2016, and 3-13 in 2015. They drafted Baker Mayfield #1 overall. They went 7-8 his first season, then 6-10, then 11-5, then 8-9. The Lions went 3-13, 7-9, and 0-16 the three years prior to Stafford's arrival. Over the next 4 seasons, he went 2-14, 6-10, 10-6, 4-12.

What did he do over the next 4 seasons? That's right, he followed up that year by throwing 20 TD to 17 INTs, 29 TDs to 19 INTs, and 22 TDs to 12 INTs while completing less than 60% of his passes. And that was while having 2 pro bowl receivers (Johnson, Tate), a pro bowl tackle (TJ Lang), a pro bowl kicker, and three pro bowlers on the defensive side of the ball.

You keep bringing facts & numbers about Stafford, but his fans argument essentially seems to be " the Lions sucked ". I thought I was being generous by comparing him to Palmer & Bledsoe.

The Detroit Lions have one playoff win in the Super Bowl era. That was all the way back in 1991 against the Dallas Cowboys.

This is why the Matthew Stafford HOF talk is crazy to me. Good job to him on winning a SB. But he's never been a top 3, hell, even top 5 qb.

Stafford had some big numbers on a shitty team, but couldn't win. 1st overall pick. Finally won when he got to a good franchise with the rest of the pieces in place. Still had some crappy plays (his INT on the final play of the regular season, when a win would have affected seeding, is an example).

He's Jameis, with more tenure in the league. And I'd say that had Jameis stayed healthy and the Saints add one good WR late in the season (OBJ? He'd have instantly become the Saints #1, instead of the Rams second option), Jameis leads the Saints to the Super Bowl instead.
And no, I don't think Jameis would be a HoF qb due to that.

Its not about Stafford. NFL lets in a shite ton of guys but MLB has been the biggest criteria turncoat since the Veterans Committee and old peers just letting in peers...MLB has voted in all these bygone era guys who never sniffed the ballot during their days. The MLB Veterans Committee is so stupid, they voted in a guy instead of his brother by mistake.

Terrell Davis should not be in the HOF. Andre Reed..Bob Griese...Aikman...Curtis Martin who ushered in the era of just voting on longevity and stats despite never being considered a top 3 back in the league during his long career...and the poster boy...Namath.

The NFL is just horrible at selecting

Somehow Johnny Robinson had to wait 50 years to get in and he was 8 times all pro

Also, the fact Patrick Willis keeps not getting selected is absurd. He has the second most 1st team all pros in linebacker history I beleive
