Is he? When did Matthew Stafford suddenly become a top end QB again? Most comments about him since Calvin Johnson left is that he's the king of stat padding late in games when it doesn't matter.

Honestly I don't see him as that big of an improvement on Goff, and I would say it's not enough to justify two more first round picks, and a third rounder.

Over the last three seasons

Goff:

47 Games Started
31-16 Record

74 TDS
41 Interceptions
13278 Yards

QBR:
2018: 63.6
2019: 50.6
2020: 58.5

Stafford:

40 Games Started
14-25-1

66 TDs
26 Interceptions
10360 Yards

QBR:
2018: 51.3
2019: 71.3
2020: 68.5

I know Detroit is a tire fire but it's still a QB driven league, and good QBs can carry teams to victory in the NFL. I'm not sure the guy with the 14-25-1 record over the last three seasons is going to be a savior anywhere.
