I dunno about putting a QB on our practice squad that knows our O inside/out. Wouldn't a team want to pick up a guy like that before we play them? I do know that when a team does poach a PS player, they have to put him in their 53 man roster. I don't know how long they have to keep him on that roster. Does anyone else?

I believe the answer to that is 3 weeks.

If Bennett were on the PS and another team tried to sign him, Rams would have the option to put him on the their 53 and keep him.

Unless the rule changed, the emergency 3rd QB has to be on the 53 man roster in case the Rams care about that.

It seems like pro bowls, or lack there of, are important enough to keep Stafford out of the HOF? Pro bowls are a popularity award in many cases. Let's examine the other NFC QBs playing during his time in Detroit. Rodgers. Brees. Eli. Wilson. Ryan. Newton. Romo. Vick. Cousins. Prescott. And even Goff. Some pretty popular QBs, no? Eli is the only one (of 4) with more than 1 Superbowl win.

He had a losing record in Detroit? Shocking! How many Lions QBs have had winning records during their time there? What is his record with a quality organization? Two triple crown receivers? How many have there been all time?

Come on. A no doubter.

Barring injury, after this season, Matthew should be about # 7 all-time in yards; about 8 in TD's and the same for completions. Plus his one SB win, I think he will be a first ballot guy.

You said "after this year", so that would be 2 Superbowl wins!

Ah ha!! PARAM! My oversight!

I would just like to add, MS got snubbed big time in 2011
Got beat by Eli Manning and Cam Newton,
but MS numbers were way better than both of them,
MS stats: 5038yds/passing, 41/TD, QB rating, 97.2,
all three of these stats are better than Eli and Cam.

Then he got snubbed again in 2021,
during his winning SB year.
MS had better yd & TD numbers than Rodgers, Cousins & especially Murray

Now, according to JB Long, he was given a PB award for 2021,
but it is not showing up on PFR or Wikipedia,
and that's what sportswriters look at.

As far as I'm concern, MS should have 5 PB

And when it's time for him to be voted in the HOF,
our L.A. sportswriter should make it known for the 2021 season,
also, Detroit sportswriter should make it known for the snub in 2011.

Bringing Detroit to two playoffs,
while playing with mostly bad teams in Detroit.

Then playing in 3 out 4 playoffs with the RAMs,
while winning a SB.

First time eligible, should be a HOFer!!!

First time eligible, should be a HOFer!!!

It's been 68 years since Bobby Layne had the Lions in the Championship Game 4 times in 6 seasons, winning 3 from 1952 to 1957. The Lions have made the postseason 14 time from 1958 through 2024. And Matt Stafford is the only QB to get them there 3 times. It's time talking heads look at ALL the numbers. Forget the fact he didn't win a postseason game (though he was robbed by an atrocious call vs Dallas) or wasn't voted into the pro bowl more than once. He took a perennial loser, never with a good run game and rarely with a decent defense, to the postseason 3 times. But if they want to cite numbers, he's top 10 ALL TIME in all the other catagories that matter.

Though it's a fools errand, put him on the Packers, Cowboys or Giants during his time prior to the Rams and he'd have had multiple Pro Bowl nods and playoff wins, not to mention possibly another SB win. He made those Lions better than they really were and their reputation as perennial losers kept him out of the pro bowl and off the sport's biggest stage.

The theory goes, most times, the best QB in the draft goes to the worst team and it's usually a recipe for disaster. Bad team, bad coaching, multiple systems, etc. He refused to let that happen, though if he's not in the HOF as soon as he's eligible, maybe he didn't after all.
