Matthew Stafford left good stats with the Lions but it was never enough for him to win a Super Bowl with Detroit. Also, the Lions have been a losing franchise since the 20th century and it’s unlikely they’ll play better next season despite having a quarterback like Goff.

In his college football career Stafford played for Georgia, in three seasons he scored 51 touchdowns with 33 interceptions, 7731 yards, 564/987 passes completed for 57.1% effectiveness. He won only two awards during his college years, First-team All-American in 2008 and Second-team All-SEC in the same year.

Stafford played for the Lions since 2009, his first winning season was in 2011 with 10-6 overall and his first NFL record with the Lions was in the 2012 season with 435/727 passes completed but that season ended with a negative record of 4-12 overall.
