Something other than Nnamdi.

Sign Nnamdi, or something along those lines, but rames beat me to it.

…but ask me again in a year.

This year is Stafford’s year to prove himself. I’m %100 Stafford until the end of the year. The way he’s played (when he wasn’t injured, of course) has earned him a pass from me for the year, but to get one for next year he’s gonna have to show up this year.

What about Josh Freeman? He WAS in Stafford’s draft and IMO I think has shown more promise than Bradford.

Stafford did. I’ll take the guy that wants to be here everytime.

I think Bradford stayed in college because he didn’t want to compete with a guy like Stafford for the number one overall pick. The two of them are completely different types of quarterbacks. Bradford to me seems like the ultimate WCO quarterback. Great accuracy, intelligence and size combined with solid arm strength. Stafford is more like a rifle, extremely strong, yet surprisingly accurate guy.

since he seemed to be the top of most people’s boards… but assuming Stafford is 100% healthy and isn’t injury prone then I’ll take Stafford

Bradford, cuz he has plaeyed more games than stafford so far. but ask me again in a year. If stafford can stay healthy, its a different story but so far he has not so i will take bradford today

Straight up, skill set vs skill set…I personally would take Stafford over Bradford every time. And, the dislocated shoulder that cost Bradford his final year at Oklahoma would have been his rookie season with the Lions, and everyone would be calling him a china doll.
But lets look deeper. If Bradford comes out a year earlier, Suh doesn’t fall to us at number two because there was no other quarterback good enough to take ahead of him. So we would have been stuck with either McCoy or Okung (both of which were slowed considerably this year by injury as well).
  In summation, THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE LIONS WAS SAM BRADFORD WAITING A YEAR TO ENTER THE DRAFT.
  Stafford + Suh > Bradford + McCoy

I remeber watching the Georgia v. MSU bowl game, and Stafford just took over in the second half. I remembering telling a friend, Detroit needs this guy.

To me Stafford is exactly what I want in a QB. There is just something about him when he is on the field. He has the “It” factor that I love. Matthew is a football player playing quarterback, while Bradford is just vanilla to me. Bradford might very well continue to improve and be a great NFL quarterback. But he does not inspire me with his play. When I see Stafford play, he reminds me of Farve or Elway. He is a gunslinger that loves to play football, and is going to do anything and everything he can to get a win. Bradford reminds me of Aikman. Very accurate and efficient. But he just does not excite me.

I would have said take Aaron Curry. But with knowledge now I would have taken Clay Mathews. Dude is a beast and it’s between him and Cushing as the best linebacker from that class. I mean I just looked up the first round from that year and there are quite a few duds I must say.

and moved up the following year for Bradford honestly. But Stafford had the stronger arm, and they destroyed Michigan St. that bowl game too I think. So I wasn’t too mad with the pick.

He just seems like more of a playmaker at the Qb position than Bradford does. When he isn’t hurt, he just seems to throw up Monster stats all the time. 5 tds against Cleveland Win. 4 tds against Washington Win. 3 tds(1 rushing) against Jets and we had a double digit lead on the big bad Rex Ryan D b4 he got hurt. I’ll take the more explosive guy and I think he’ll have a better career when it’s all said and done.

it would definitely be jimmy

if it was just stafford vs bradford then stafford..

get over getting a cb we arent gonna get FA in the future and talk about prev drafts lots of sense here
