Matthew Stafford: The NFL’s next mobile quarterback?

It was just last week when Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell hinted that Matthew Stafford was going to be a more mobile in 2019. I think the understanding of that was simple. Stafford isn’t going to sit in the pocket as much as he did under Jim Bob Cooter. Cooter’s strategy may have had early promise, but Stafford got sacked a whopping 161 times in the span, and by the end it was clear defenses had them figured out.

After seeing Stafford in Allen Park on Sunday, I think it’s safe to say that I drastically underestimated what Bevell meant by Stafford being a mobile quarterback, because this guy was all over the place.
