In my opinion, signing this guy wasn't worth paying him all that money. While Stafford is solid, he is not elite. The Lions aren't gonna win a title in these next three years. If he would've accepted less, then I'd consider this a good idea. But he didn't. They overpaid a guy that should be on his way out of there. The Lions need a new QB if they seriously want to contend. Stafford just isn't Super Bowl caliber.

I'm not his biggest fan, but he's good enough to win with. He was rated higher by Football Outsiders last season than two recent Super Bowl winning QBs (Eli Manning, Flacco). He would look a lot better if the rest of his non-Calvin Johnson offensive teammates weren't below average. The contract looks good for the Lions too; they probably get some salary cap relief and he will be paid less annually than Flacco.
