Stafford, Winston possibilities for Pats in 2021?

[sb1]

Patriots QB rumors: Matthew Stafford trade makes a lot of sense, according to Rodney Harrison - masslive.com

For the Pats, absolutely. For the Lions who will take a massive dead money cap hit on their books with this move - not really.

A 4,000/25/13 career avg guy...trade for the lion?!?

 

[Hyped]

Sign me up...if they can work it out...(shrugs)....kid can play...

Stafford has gotten like 4 head coaches fired. Hugely overrated, a worse Bledsoe ??

 

[TheRainMaker]

It really depends on the price. I'd rather have him be a cap casualty than trade. However, who says he'd want to play for BB after getting a preview with his imposter?

Stafford is a good QB. When has he ever had to top 10 defense outside of 2014? When has he ever had a running game?? When has he had a decent head coach??? When has he ever had stability within the organization???? I believe he’d do well here.

You can say that about the packers. He has stunk the joint up in big games. Has never won a division title. Think about that.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Could be a good stopgap for the right price. This is a playoff team with a qb who can throw imo or at least make defenses respect the pass. Not necessarily a contender, But would be nice to see this team get some playoff experience while building towards a champion.

Poor man's Kirk Cousins.

Not a fan of brining in Stafford if that wasn't obvious

So in 2014 with a a top 3 defense, Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate for WRs, he accomplished what? One and done in the playoffs.

There's a thing in the NFL called good coaching...

He's someone Bill could work with and is only 32. But he'd have to surround him with a lot more talent.

2012, 2013 and 2016 are years they should have won as well.

 

[Thelonious]

His underlying skills are good. He's hung in there through a litany of problems with his present team.

I'd say he's a tad below top tier, but compared to Cam, he's world class. He can, that is, actually understand an offense, read coverages, and throw the ball with a reasonable grasp on where it might go.

He can't topple over into the end zone like a goddam statue, but we can probably get by without that trick.

 

[Thelonious]

Step one in any deliberation re the Pats' qb next year has to begin with: "Cam blows."

Any evaluation of our options begins, "Cam blows."

He has "led" the 29th-best passing offense. Looking for a repeat are we?

I agree. Makes just enough plays in spectacular fashion for people to think he’s good.

 

[Jlaff]

Considering we'd be looking at an upgrade with half the backups in the league I'd take him. If we had Stafford to start the year this is a playoff team.

 

[PatsRebuild]

I am not a huge fan, but you could do worse. I'd rather bring in Trubisky to compete with Stidham, keep costs down and the age down. Draft another QB mid rd somewhere.

 

[PatsRebuild]

He's someone Bill could work with and is only 32. But he'd have to surround him with a lot more talent.

He'd immediately go to one of the worst OLs and RB groups in the league to arguably the best here.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

We'd probably be a wildcard team with him.

Question is, is that enough to satisfy fans?
