In 2018, Belichick said Stafford is “as good as there is in football” as a downfield passer.
“He does an excellent job of seeing down the field in all situations,” Belichick said at the time. “No matter how much pressure he’s under, he seems to find guys down there. Sometimes it appears that they’re covered, but he can put the ball where (Marvin) Jones in particular, but also (Kenny) Golladay, can go up and make plays on the ball.
“He’s very accurate and he’s got a strong arm. He can stand in there and make those throws, with or without a rush, in or out of the pocket, stationary or on the run. He’s extremely dangerous – one of the very best in the league for sure.”
The Detroit Lions and their starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford, reportedly will mutually part ways, and the New England Patriots should come calling.
