    We just need to get creative.

    I had a Stafford thread but I don’t recall ever saying trade Von for Stafford. I was thinking straight up draft picks for Stafford. He would be much better than what we have now.


    Aaron Rogers though? Hmmm

    Which spot would be easier to replace? Rush OLB or QB? I wouldn't do it, but if you believe Stafford is that legit...it's actually kind of a no brainer when emotion is removed.

    Detroit would have to trade us THEIR 1st Rounder, plus Stafford AND take Keenum off of our hands.

    Stafford for Von isn’t a fair trade. And still...I wouldn’t want Von to be traded. No way Vic takes this job knowing Von gets traded.

    If you would have asked me 3-4 years ago about Stafford i might have felt that. But i really dont think he is the kind of guy to carry a team when it needs them to. Too hot and cold as a player.

    And that's what it comes down to....your opinion of MS. If you think he is a franchise guy...no brainer. Draft MLB and sign Detroit's FA pass rusher to go with a Stafford trade.

    I'm personally not convinced he is that guy though.

    No. I especially don't want to trade our franchise player for some aging QB who has never won a single thing.

    Von gets held all day, it's the NFL way; sadly, so I take that into consideration in assessing his real value as a pass rusher, certainly towards the downside. But even with that, Stafford would be no more than a stop gap/ would bring a division championship at best. Bfd. I say no

    Like, if we went Von for Stafford, and got a first and some seconds...or something like that, sure.

    But why would they do that?

    It just feels wrong.

    Yea, unless there were some picks thrown in for us with Stafford, no thanks. That's trading generational player for a decent player. It reeks desperation with most likely low payoff for us.

    It wouldn't do much other than MAYBE make Denver a WC contender.

    If we are trading Von, we better be getting first round picks out of it. Trading Von = rebuild.
    Drafting a QB = Rebuild. Trading one high priced veteran earning $18m for a franchise QB is Reboot.

    Since Stafford is 31, getting him would mean "we are all in on winning a SB right now. We're not going to rebuild for the future by drafting a QB and maybe he'll be great in 3 years, i.e. 2021. I'll be gone then. I want to win right NOW."

    If Fangio thinks they can compete in the division with Matt Stafford, then they will absolutely do it in a flash. But, unless the Lions/Stafford relationship is a lot worse than anything I've heard, then they would never trade him.

    Drafting a QB is not always a rebuild. The Steelers with Ben, Flacco with the Ravens, the Texans with Watson. Neither of those teams were trying to blow up their roster.
