@Substance Abuse couldn’t agree with this more.
Stafford played in a much different league with much worse teams and coaches. He was also an entirely different type of QB who was asked to do more to elevate a shit team. Additionally, he was hurt in 19 of a possible 48 games. Year three, when the team became at least competent, he threw for 5K, 41 TDs and only 16 picks.
Stafford styled on the Niners after Shanny didn't push to trade for him as aggressively and McVay stole him from under their nose. Maybe Shanny and Lynch would have beat KC and not choke away two double digit leads to them in the SB with him. Not sure.
He also only had eleven one-hundred yard rushing performances in first 160 games on Detroit and only had a top fifteen defense twice.
Stafford will always be one of my favorite Lions players. Fuck the Niners.
