I'm not too familiar with Stafford or the Lions offense, but I don't think they really utilize tight ends the way the Colts and Steelers do.
Last year:
In 15 starts, Bissett threw for 2,942 yards. (196.1 yards per start)
In 14 combined starts Rudolph and Duck threw for 2,828 yards. (202 yards per start)
He's going from a team that couldn't pass the ball to a team with a HOF qb that has been running in a 2 TE offense for a decade. His fit in our system makes him worth more to us than most other teams. He himself probably isn't a true game changer, but in our system he'll be a match-up nightmare.
