Is anyone else as tired of having this conversation as I am? This has become the new norm for the Detroit Lions. People trying with all their might to jam a quarterback into the Lions roster. It goes back farther than just the last couple years with Jared Goff. People were doing this during the Matthew Stafford years too.
The thing is, I actually felt it made more sense in the Stafford years than it does now. No, I’m not trying to say that Jared Goff is better than Matthew Stafford. What I’m saying is that the Lions’ compass was pointed towards a rebuild for a while and having a guy back up Stafford until he was ready to take his place looks like something that would have been a pretty good idea with the benefit of hindsight.
