Matt Stafford goes pro

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Matt Stafford started out of high school as an Elite 11 quarterback in 2005
In Michigan you have choices. You can be a Bears fan, Packers fan, Steelers fan, or a Lions fan. The Bears and Packers are closer than the Lions for a lot of people and the Steelers? Don’t know. It just works that way. Most of us are Lions fans. We are cursed.
Now along comes Matt Stafford. He plays for Georgia or did anyway. Georgia played Michigan State University in a bowl game this year, so we got a one game look at him.
In the first half, he did nothing really. We could not see what all the hub bub was about. Then in the second half he threw some perfect passes. Yes, the word is perfect.
The Lions just lived with Matt Or-lose-sky, One legged Culpepper, the Two Drews’, Jon career backup Kitna, and it seems like somebody else. All of them just chucked the ball up to Calvin Johnson and he made incredible grab after incredible grab.
What if Matt Stafford was drafted by the Lions and threw some perfect passes to Calvin Johnson? What is that in my mouth? Is that saliva? Is drool coming down my chin?
Sure, the Lions need about 20 players out of 22 positions, but wouldn’t it be nice to see a perfect pass or two?
