We’re taking a little different approach to our top 20 Detroit Lions list this year. Rather than simply rank players in reverse order of what I expect their contributions to be this fall, I’ve opened it up to everyone in the organization to make this a true top-20 list.
Matthew Stafford, as the Lions’ quarterback and best player, is obviously key to whether the team will win on any given Sunday. But how does he compare to first-year coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn (whose heavy lifting is done in March and April) when it comes to the Lions' success or failure the rest of this season?
