Matthew Stafford 2020 Outlook
Instead of listening to off-season trade rumors, Stafford focused on healing. He said he's ready for whenever players are allowed to return to the field, and GM Bob Quinn confirmed that fact in April, saying "Health wise, he's good to go. He’s cleared medically from that standpoint." Stafford missed the last eight games of last year with a fracture in his back. Prior to the injury, he was playing as well as any quarterback in the league, with 2,499 yards, 19 touchdowns and just five interceptions in the first half of the year. According to NFL.com, Stafford finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback five times and was in the top 5 in four of his eight games. Stafford also scored 20-plus fantasy points in 62.5 percent of his eight starts, which is a pretty solid total. Beyond that, as ESPN's Mike Clay pointed out, the Lions' offense scored 21 touchdowns (2.6 per game) during Stafford's eight starts, compared to 14 (1.8 per game) over the eight games he missed last season. That 2.6 mark is just above league average and an improvement on the team's 2.1 average during the 2016-18 seasons. So Stafford's return will offer fantasy owners a chance to land a tremendous draft bargain.
Matthew Stafford 2019 Outlook
Stafford completed his tenth season with the Lions last year. There will be an eleventh. GM Bob Quinn confirmed that immediately after the team’s regular-season closer. “Matthew Stafford is our quarterback,” Quinn said. “He’ll be our quarterback here.” At least for 2019. His $13.5 million base salary this year became fully guaranteed last March, as did his $5.5 million roster bonus. Trading Stafford before June 1 would trigger a $30 million cap charge. Then there’s the question of how the team would replace him. So, yes. No change forthcoming at quarterback in Detroit. So, if you can't change the QB, change the play caller. Former Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell will replace Jim Bob Cooter this season. Stafford is coming off a down year and Bevell said that he’s talked with the quarterback about “stretching him a little bit” in hopes of better results this season. Whatever other pieces might fall into place, the chances of a serious improvement on offense won’t likely materialize unless Stafford’s in better form this time around. Some good fortune, better health for his receiving corps -- Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr. are capable enough playmakers -- and an emerging weapon or two (perhaps rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson), would all be helpful. That said, Stafford’s best days are likely behind him.
Matthew Stafford 2018 Outlook
As Bleacher Report's Mark Schofield recently noted, Stafford's raw arm talent -- demonstrated by his ability to make throws with velocity and accuracy from a variety of release points -- represents his strongest trait as a passer. His 2017 tape is replete with examples of this ability. Indeed, Stafford continued the upward trajectory that he's been on since Jim Bob Cooter took over as offensive coordinator midway through the 2015 season. He finished third in the NFL with 4,446 passing yards, saw an uptick in his completion percentage and reintroduced the deep passing game to the Lions' offense last year. Stafford did commit too many turnovers (17) including seven fumbles. But some of those were due to having no running game and a poor offensive line. Still in the prime of his career, Stafford has developed into one of the better quarterbacks in the game. And the best news, based on recent performance, is that new HC Matt Patricia is keeping Cooter around as the team’s play caller. With GM Bob Quinn working to acquire the talent necessary to run the football, Stafford could benefit even more (if those efforts prove successful). That said, even if the running game does not improve, there are few quarterbacks more able -- and willing -- to carry their offense.
