    I know the Wonderlic is a matter of some controversy, but Stafford scored a 38 and Rivers scored a 30. So, an argument to be made that Rivers is not smarter then Stafford. I, personally, would take Stafford 10 times out of 10 when choosing between the two. The Lions have been crap for a very long time with a chain of coaching changes. A very poorly run organization. I think, as I have said already, you put Stafford in the right situation and he thrives just as Tannehill did in coming to us.

    Well, the Colts had the same record as us, so can’t say they sucked.

    Your salary cap isn’t tied to the current years performance. Sucked is probably not the best description and more aimed at the Jags, They always have cap room and always have top draft picks. How much did Luck retiring add to their cap space?

    Doesn’t matter about Luck. You said they have cap room because they suck. I disagreed. Now, you are on the right track. If they had Luck and a Henry type back on his second contract, then the gap closes.

    I also clarified I shouldn’t have used that term describing them. But in 2019 they did suck. Back to Luck.. I think they would be needing to extend him after 2021 as well so their is a chance they have NO room at all this season.

    I guess my point is I’m tired of this scared little boy mentality I see from some of pour fans, worried about what the bullies on the block are going to do without realizing we are one of the bullies. We are a winning franchise who needs some tweaking, 11-5 with a historically bad defense... 11-5 That’s pretty good to build on.

    Ohhhh... the wonderlic. Ok.. well. You got me there. Stafford is gong to win it all with the Colts.

    Just for reference....

    Manning 28
    Brady 33

    I’m talking football intellect. Not IQ. Manning is probably the smartest QB of all time. His physical skills weren’t superior. Stafford has great physical skills and plays hurt and based on his wonderlic is able to put together furniture from IKEA but I take Rivers in his prime over Stafford in his. Stafford is a very good QB. But acting like he comes to the Colts and it just makes them so much better. They were pretty good with Rivers. I don’t think Stafford makes them much if any better.



    By the way... Watson scored a 20 and Marino 16. Correlation? Maybe. I dunno...

    Agreed. Rivers landing there for a year and they started looking good after he built chemistry with the offense. He was way past his prime and no longer had the arm but still good enough to make plays to challenge for the division and be a playoff team. If they got Stafford, they would be top team in AFC South. Offense has lots of good weapons and defense is solid and better than ours.

    Stafford would be best QB in division if Watson got traded. Let's hope Henry can have another dominate year next season because if he cannot we're screwed. Tammy is nothing without him.
