I really hope he gets a chance to win a title somewhere else as long as the Lions get an elite college QB or a potential cornerstone like Watson.

I can see what you're saying, but I have a hard time believing Jacksonville is that place for him. And, given the nasty injuries he's suffered, I kind of doubt he has 4 years left in him.

Fwiw, some of the media have been floating the idea of him coming to the Broncos. That probably isn't an ideal landing spot for Stafford, either.

He's only missed 8 games in the past 10 seasons, and they were all last season. And they didn't play him in a couple because they sucked, right?

Good question though so much in the NFL depends on stuff outside QB control. Brees only has 1 SB, Rodgers too. Rivers was good enough to win some with right surrounding crew. Stafford is still surprisingly young too. 32 or 33 IIRC. Not unreasonable to expect prime performance for another 3-4 years at least. In right situation he could absolutely win a title.

(I don’t have an issue with it per se, but because it’s the Lions I just automatically assume it’s doomed to fail. At least if it was a “hot assistant” like Bieniemy I could get my hopes up a little.).

Yep. That's where I'm standing.

Not saying the choke-out explanation isn't legit, it might be, but it should be viewed with a lot of skepticism.

“We’re going to kick you in the teeth, all right?” Campbell told reporters. “And when you punch us back, we’re going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we’re going to get back up and on the way up, we’re going to bite a kneecap off, all right? And then it’s going to take us two more shots to knock us down. And on the way up, we’re going to take your other kneecap. … Before long, we’re going to be the last one standing.”

I'll be surprised if this lasts over four full seasons.

The Athletic wrote:The Meyer-Baalke dynamic. It's an interesting pairing considering Baalke had his best success in San Francisco with a good college coach in Jim Harbaugh and then had the relationship fall apart over a power struggle. Harbaugh took the 49ers from a 6-10 season in 2010 to three NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl appearance in the 2012 season. After Harbaugh left for Michigan following an 8-8 season in 2014, the 49ers went 5-11 and 2-14 with Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly before Baalke was fired.

For what? Haskins? Hue? The thought of Hue Jackson being the OC in Pittsburgh makes me laugh.
