Wednesday open thread: Is Matthew Stafford elite right now?

Matthew Stafford has gotten off to a hot start to the season, looking much like the dark horse MVP candidate we all made him out to be in 2017, his first full season under then offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.

Back then, it seemed like the consensus among Lions fans was that Stafford was playing at an elite level, but unfortunately it didn’t last and now JBC is gone. With his most recent performance against the Chiefs, however, the conversation has been reignited.

My answer: No(t yet).
