Some good examples on that list (Brees/Favre notwithstanding). Tannehill is a good current example and Steve Young from the past. Might be good to set up some criteria and see what pops out...maybe a guy who had a winning percentage of 50% or under then having success? It looks like Stafford was 44% at Detroit. That is higher than I would have guessed, but that is because the last three years was 36%.
Stafford is probably the best of the non-top tier QBs, 1 of the best of them anyway.
If you build a good team around him, you can win. But can’t say the last month has changed my opinion of him or anything.
He was awful vs good teams all year and is always an injury risk. But you can win with him, he’s better than dak, cousins, tanny, murray, JimmyG but not by much. And probably less durable than most.
Still props to him for taking advantage of good fortune, that’s a big part of what football is all about

lol what
yes during the regular season he was awful vs good teams for the most part.....SF 2x, Tenn, AZ the 1st meeting when they were playing well before they collapsed, GB they hit a few bombs but the game wasn't very competitive.
Dude led the league in INT's despite playing with an absolutely uncoverable receiver, it wasn't smooth sailing

yeah this was my opinion then and it is my opinion now....super necessary move as Jorge Masvidal would say, team needed a change of scenery but the gap between Staff/Goff probably isn't worth 2 1st rd picks in terms of pure value.
I liked the Miller and OBJ moves a lot though, it is always weird to me when fans say a team is "screwed in the future"
Who cares? 1 team wins, no risk it no biscuit, scared money don't make money. But then again people think Harbaugh shouldn't have gone for 2 vs the Packers so I dunno, risk aversion is a strong impulse. You don't even really take a financial hit in the NFL if these moves don't workout, some other owner just has to split the money with you when 37 million people are watching his team in the playoffs and not yours.
They ain't drafting another Aaron Donald or Cooper Kupp in Kroenke's lifetime unless him and his billionaire buddies figure out how blood harvesting from the young solves human death.
No, I was thinking of him. He missed half of 2019 with a fucked up back (anyone that has had back issues knows how much that can linger), battled tons of injuries in 2020 and this year there were reports he was banged up pretty badly (I suppose this timely news item could've just been an excuse for his midseason slump but does sound like his back is just a chronic thing for him)

And he turns 34 next week.
