Connor Cook, Tua, and Dwayne Haskins combined.

And 6 years from now........the 31st pick in this year's draft will be a star and the 32nd pick will blow out both Achilles tendon's and lose their hand in a bizarre drone accident.

Lions fans can quote Arthur Fleck.  "I used to think my life was a tragedy, now I see it's a comedy".

It's been 12 years and Stafford hasn't won a single playoff game. How many more chances do we give him? Other QBs drafted #1 overall have won multiple playoff games like Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, and Jared Goff.

I would have given Donald the MVP but Kupp was a worthy choice. 

If only Martin Mathew had picked Aaron Donald, maybe that would have been Stafford winning the Super Bowl with the Lions, which I would have watched in a hot tub with my soul mate.

That's another good one. Look, Sanchise has been to two AFC Championship games. Stafford hasn't won a single playoff game.

Matthew Stafford is basically Jay Cutler.

Matthew Stafford isn't mobile enough. Too much of a slow pocket passer.

Happy for Stafford.   He had to leave the Lions in order to win the game that ensures he will some day be enshrined in the hall to fame as a Lion.  

[Motown Bombers]

Yeah Stafford threw for 5,000 yards and 41 TDs but he lost to the Saints in the playoffs. He's basically Scott Mitchell. Mitchell had a good season but flopped in the playoffs.

"I call him 'Stat Padford.' If you’re being honest about his career, it fits. People in Motown are in tears -- tears of joy, that is -- that the Lions finally dumped him. In fact, if COVID-19 wasn’t still gripping folks, there probably would have been a parade down Woodward on Sunday," Parker wrote in his latest column for Deadspin. "And the people on the Left Coast, and around NFL America, just haven’t watched close enough to know what the Rams are in for."

That one will look pretty weird in a few years when people look back at the game stats. 4 catches for 47 yard or something - won't look like much in the stat sheet.

Just as well the Rams won as a Cincy win would have been tainted by the missed offensive pass interference/face mask on the TD. And probably would have been an easier win if McVay had just stopped trying to run the ball and given Stafford more useful downs to move the chains.

Also the PI 1st down saved Stafford's bacon at the end because if they had failed to get the TD after those two terrible throws after 1st and goal the story would have been the overthrow and the dead duck into the dirt and that Stafford choked. I like when the the line between success and failure ends up standing out so clearly.

And Rob Parker blocked me on Twitter. Stafford haters are going to hate me tonight.

I've been saying this for a while now but Matthew Stafford is the Carmelo Anthony of the NFL. Lots of stats but zero playoff wins in 12 years.

Sean McVay is calling a horrible game.  

Watching those play calls last nite, knowing their OC is going to the Vikings, made me glad the Lions are in the NFC North.  Not sold on the Bears choice either, & Aaron Rodgers won't be around much longer.  The Lions are trending up - Now if we could just get a QB like Matthew Stafford.

Stafford only has one more year on his contract and will be a free agent. In 12 years with Stafford it didn't work out. The Lions need to do what other teams are doing and go with a young QB who can win when it counts like Jared Goff.

Mitchell was a weird story.
