Also, this is not an attack on you. I am just using your argument because I have seen it a couple times.
So I am will ask you:
Do you feel that the Lions built solid teams around Stafford insofar that their lack of success is on him, rather than the lack of talent?
Because, surely, people can see the difference between a good QB on a shitty team not finding success, and a good QB on good teams who choked, and was mediocre when the time came to step up.
Because I have watched more than a few Lions games the past few years and from my point of view, those Lions teams were not good. Stafford has had little to work with since Megatron retired and their line is putrid which leads to a non-existent running game. Their O-Line has ranked in the bottom half of the league the past 4/5 years. To put that into perspective, the Browns O-line was ranked higher than the Lions' O-Line in 2017, 2018 and 2019 when the Browns' O-Lines were considered awful.
Moreover, at least since 2015 or so, their Defense has been wanting. It was ranked in the bottom half of the league the past 4/5 years. I have never seen a team consistently lose so many games in the fourth quarter or after larger leads (until the Falcons this year).
