Yeah, I was thinking that Stafford should be the break out player moreso than Rob Gronkowski. I'd say comeback player too since he only played three games the year before too...but even his rookie season saw him injured a fair bit...so it's like he never really got a great chance to establish himself. Either way 41 TD's to 16 INT's is still a great ratio, and 5000 yards thru the air...most years that gets you in the MVP Conversation. Especially when you consider the Lions records in other years prior to this one.
Gronkowski did have 10 TD's last year and came on in the second half. I think Jimmy Graham was more of a break out guy. Victor Cruz also has to be considered too...really unless you were a Giants fan or Jets fan who watched him torch them in that pre season game...I doubt you knew who he was, let alone expected him to put up the numbers he did.
