Matthew Stafford: The Lions are My Team
The key for the Lions this year is really simple in my humble opinion. The team won 10 games and made the playoffs for the first time in 12 years in the 2011 season following 40 Touchdowns and 16 INTs from quarterback Matthew Stafford. But then fell to just 4 win in 2012 after Stafford only managed to throw 20 Touchdowns and 17 INTs. Coincidence? I think not.

Lions trust in Matthew Stafford at an all-time high?
Just the other day, Lions reporter Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press was reporting that backup QB Shaun Hill has been walking around with a boot on his left foot. The reason for the boot according to Birkett was due to Hill undergoing minor surgery to repair a minor but nagging injury.

Contract Extension For Lions QB Matthew Stafford Unlikely To Happen This Offseason?
Anwar Richardson of MLive.com doesn’t expect to see Lions QB Matthew Stafford sign a contract extension with the Lions this offseason.
Richardson points to the fact that Stafford has two years remaining on his contract with a club option in 2015, so he’s in a position where another playoff appearance or possibly even a deep playoff run could have a big impact on his overall...
The Best of the Detroit Lions Draft Class
5. Matthew Stafford - Selected #1 overall - 2009
Our fearless leader. Even though Stafford has had outstanding yardage in the last 2 years, he is unproven as far as a successful QB. The Lions ended last year a dismal 4-12 after coming off a 10-6 playoff run the year prior, and one must question where the blame lies. Is it with the coach, or the QB that leads them on the...
The mauling of Matthew Stafford?
It kept me up nights. That terrible hit from Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers in 2010 that rocked Matthew Stafford was frightening to any Detroit football fan and serves to remind us that no matter what the Lions do during the draft, their 2013 starting offensive line will have very little time to gel before angry men will be looking to do serious harm to the centerpiece...

Thats the issue quarterback Matthew Stafford faces during negotiations for a contract...

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free-Press, it’s only a matter of time before the Lions and quarterback Mathew Stafford agree on a long-term extension. It’s just a matter of time before the sides agree on a long-term deal that will keep Stafford in Detroit for years to come at a price that probably tops $100 million. Both sides want it to happen, both sides need it...
