Matthew Stafford will lead the Lions to at least one NFC Championship game in the next four years

Matt Stafford over under NFC Championship appearances in the next four years on his contract, 0.5? Over. Really? Yeah, over. Wow. So then that would be a success in my mind.

Prediction Football Hot

Stafford never made an NFC Championship game with the Lions; they didn't reach that stage until the 2023 season after he was traded.

Matthew Stafford is officially on the hot seat after signing his new contract

I love when a quarterback gets a new deal because they are officially, speaking of hot seat cool throne, they are officially on the hot seat because now it's joke season on Matthew Stafford. We saw it with Joe Flacco. We saw it with Jay Cutler. Matt Stafford has probably a year... and every interception he throws comes a tweet, wow, $86 million for this?

Opinion Football Mild

Stafford indeed became a lightning rod for criticism in Detroit until he was traded to the Rams and won a Super Bowl, proving the 'overpaid' narrative wrong but the 'hot seat' narrative correct for the time.

Matthew Stafford is the best of the 'sucky' quarterbacks

I actually always say Matt Stafford, you know my two categories of quarterbacks. It's guys who can win you a Super Bowl and then guys who suck. And Matt Stafford is the best sucky quarterback.

Opinion Football Hot Subjective

This is a subjective categorization of a player's talent and tier.

The Lions will never win a Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford as their quarterback

I think it's the smart thing to do [signing Stafford], but I also don't think the Lions are going to win a Super Bowl with Matt Stafford. The NFL is so weird like this. You can make a decision that's the right decision while also still knowing ultimately it's not a good thing.
