A few weeks ago, Chris Simms of Pro Football Talk (PFT) named Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford as the fourteenth best in the NFL.
Certainly, it would have been nice to hear that Stafford was up in the top five. But after a sub-par 2018, it spoke well of Stafford that he was still in the top half of the league.
Last year was tough for Matthew. He just didn’t look right for the first time in his career, although an injury to his back may have played a role.
