11 months.
21 games.

He didn't win a playoff game for 13 years. He did have a nice 3rd season and his next 2 were mediocre at best. He didn't really hit any kind of consistent stride until his 7th season in the league

all that said

He's only won a playoff game in one year of his career.

Bears?

Are we arguing they've had some kind of amazing track of producing qbs? Further Stafford had the same OC for 5 years who went on to OC in Dallas as well and was an NFL head coach for 3. Are we taking bets if Getsy is a 10 year NFL OC? This dude is literally making money off Aaron Rodgers.

You brought up playoff wins as a measuring stick. Since the Lions Championship in 1957 they've had 1 playoff win in 65 years. Not a measuring stick I would have used.

The man posted a picture of Matt Stafford holding a super bowl trophy. Where else is the convo going to go?

I'm not even saying he's going to have a Stafford kind of career but he'd have definitely benefitted from having someone who hasn't made his living off Aaron Rodgers as an OC.

But yes since Stafford entered the conversation he took until his 7th season to have the level of consistency you would like to see. And had a top 5 all time wide receiver to throw to.

Staff is better without CJ.

Who was not close to top 5 all time. Just a quitter who was an elite athlete. Herman Moore > Calvin.

Don't smoke all the pot at once Smitty
Dead serious.

First person to post a pic of CJ catching a game winning touchdowns gets a cookie. (Nobody can collect said cookie)

Dude had one huge season. Got 200+ targets out of Staff’s 725+ and the team won 4 games.

Had no passion, is not a winner.

Not a chance he’d be my first Lions receiver all time. Might not be my second.

lol. It was a Rams picture of Stafford. You asked how long it took and I said 1 year. It was intended to be a humorous comment. I don't think Stafford is some legendary player that will end up in Canton. I don't think Fields is useless either. For better or worse the point is that Stafford has been 'the man' wherever he's been. In 15 years neither the Lions or the Rams ever sought a replacement because they weren't convinced he was good enough. That's what is likely to happen to Fields.

Too bad we didn't see Gannon to Herman Moore. Probably a super bowl there to be had.

This is a surprising take. Are you also on the Nos wagon with Barry being the most overrated running back ever?

is the one against Chicago count? Even though the refs robbed him of it?
