Stafford has looked good with the Rams at times and completely lost by trying to force the ball during other games, but I think many speculated he was going to elevate his game by playing with a better coaching staff and team. Which is an interesting take considering he played with Megatron. Yes, I know the Lions weren't a good organization during his time there but he did play with talented players. Stafford is one of those guys where a Super Bowl win might change the perception of how people view his legacy. If he doesn't win one, he was a good QB. If he wins it all, people will discuss him with higher regard.
He had Calvin Johnson. The next best receiver he probably ever had while there was Marvin Jones. Maybe I'm missing someone else but I don't recall their skill players ever being top notch outside of Calvin (who basically should count as 2 lol). But you don't put up 5k yards and 40tds in a season without having some solid talent. Almost 4.9k and 41 tds this year.
Again, I think Stafford is over rated by a lot but I do think he's in the back half of top 10 qbs.
