Stafford stinks

[jayfan]

Sorry, he does. Coaching staff needs to go, but the QB did them no favors.

 

[Old Lion]

He has not learned to make the best decisions yet. He got this far on raw talent. He needs proper coaching to get to the next level.

 

[Howie115]

He has Brett Favre's recklessness, but without Brett's accuracy.

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

I would completely agree if the thread title was Stafford Is Stupid. Because that's exactly what he is. Careless and stupid. $100m arm and $0.10 head. Maybe a real coaching staff will even out those numbers.

 

[jayfan]

His accuracy has been just as much a problem as his decision-making.

You aren't the one who should be apologizing. It should be Mayhew, when he's explaining to his wife that he got fired over Staffs extension.

i.e. He's Jeff George.

Of the 3 Ints today 2 could have been caught but were tipped for Ints instead. They weren't great throws but they weren't terrible either. The 3rd was mostly bad luck on a ball that should have been batted down at the LOS but just stuck to the DE. Yes, he isn't accurate enough, he needs to make better decisions, but he's our guy, he's young and he has a shitload of talent. We're stuck with him for better or worse.

Staffs completion percentage is slightly higher than Jeffy's. But his INT% is higher too. Not cool.

1. We're excusing a pick that was thrown to a defensive lineman as bad luck?

2. The Fauria tipped pick was an awful throw.

Just saying a DE doesn't hold onto that 9 out of 10 times... especially that close thrown that hard. I'm not suggesting it wasn't a bad throw.

No, he's atill Matthew Stafford 2009 in 2013. Let's get some coaches in here who know how to develop a God gifted kid QB. Thankfully he's only 25 and not broken beyond repair like Carr was.

Points to a larger symptom ... that Stafford's passes seem to hit the hands of D-lineman way more than those from most QBs.

This seems true to me.

95% of Linehan's playbook calls for everyone to run 3 yard slants across the middle of field, catch the ball and run 80 yards for the TD.

Yeah and with that sidearm thing he should get fewer batted down. At least that's the theory I hear for why he does it from those who defend it.

A #1 pick, alleged elite franchise QB shouldn't need to blame his consistently bad throwing on coaches. It's a sad thing.

I think their excuse for the side arm is its accuracy. 75% I believe was the claim before his season went to absolute shit a couple months ago. Plus it doesn't get knocked down or picked. Aside from when it does of course.

Not when he has the best receiver and a line which does a great job of protecting him.

 

[LPinSLC]

Sure has had a tough stretch this year.
