Comments on: Stafford at the Quarter Mark http://roarofthelions.com/2009/10/08/stafford-at-the-quarter-mark/ Just another Fanball Blogs weblog Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:35:58 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: KCLionFan http://roarofthelions.com/2009/10/08/stafford-at-the-quarter-mark/#comment-178 KCLionFan Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:26:42 +0000 http://roarofthelions.com/?p=193#comment-178 Think of this as a "non-statistical" analysis of Stafford to date: Game 1: throw it out; 1st pro game, got waaayy to far behind early to face a balanced D. Game 2: Was more of a liability than an asset. Turnovers at key times contributed heavily to Lions loss. A few flashes, but played tentatively and made 2 big rookie mistakes Game 3: More of an asset then Liability. Managed the game well, did not make glaring rookie mistakes. Made some strong long throws. Game 4. In the 1st half, played like a QB that could've carried the team on his shoulders. 3 great, long drives in a hostile environment, and showed some poise under adversity. To me, I see a progression here of a talented QB getting a feel for the speed of the game. Unlike others, I advocate sitting Stafford for Pitt. Give him 3 weeks to heal, come back for St. Louis, enjoy some success, and build the confidence. Think of this as a “non-statistical” analysis of Stafford to date:

I know he will have bad games, probably many bad games to add to the ones he's already had but I also know if they stick with him we will soon have that special qb weve missed since the great bobby lane.
