But that was about 4 or 5 head coaches and 2 or 3 GMs ago. Finding a QB like Stafford isn't easy, no matter how many 1st round picks you have.

What about that post suggested that finding a QB like Stafford was easy?

I mean... it's not really surprising.  Stafford was a "franchise QB" and was more than good enough that he didn't need to be replaced, so from the time he took over the starting position he would have been the starting QB for all the time.  Any time he wasn't the start we'd have our backup in and the team was often not good enough to win with their starter. Any NFL team will struggle with their backup in and especially the Lions.  

So it isn't a statistic that would be terrible startling.  But it is still interesting to think about.  Maybe the most interesting thing about it is that we had a very good QB for a long time.  The last time we had the same QB starting for 5 years in a row?  Bobby Layne.  Yikes!

I haven’t been watching but I can tell you it wasn’t Stafford’s fault.  Never is.

The pass literally bounced off the receiver's hands. It was right in his chest. That pick 6 was 100% the receiver's fault.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic, but you can clearly see from the video it was all on the receiver. 

Absolutely on the WR.   A perfect throw.  100% not Stafford’s fault.
