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.

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.

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.

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.

Pats face when Stafford says Farve was his favorite. LOL

Stafford is my favorite QB of all time. Lions are my favorite team of all time. He won the Lions a Super Bowl the year he left.

Favorite QB of all time, man. Absolute legend. Miss him here in the D, but so glad for his success in LA.

Love this guy. True professional on and off the field. An as you can see still has a youthful presence. Needs a O-line but hope he continues to play

Matt rocking a Shinola, showin’ love for Detroit on the downlow. Love it!!!

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....

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

I think Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen play a similar style, except Allen can run a little more. They both have that gunslinger mentality, I love it.

Long time fan . Hope you do good .

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"

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.
