This is foist upon us by a press corp that is too lazy to look for other stories and just keeps diving for the same nugget to feed a hungry Lions fan base. But what they are doing is whipping up the Lions fans into a frenzy about Stafford. They are setting the bar do high for the kid that he is not going to be allowed the rookie mistakes that most quarterbacks make. I for one have been cautioning about this to my friends and a bit in the comments that I make in blogs. I see absolutely no reason that this should be happening except for sheer idiocy. We all know this kid will have some problems here and there. We shouldn't be compounding them with the big hype. Being the #1 pick in the draft is enough pressure already, but leave it to Detroit media and Lions fans to discover news ways to make even that pressure seem minuscule compared to their own expectations.

There isn't anything that would put either one of these QBs in the same category. Obviously you don't know anything about QBs. So maybe you should consider a new Career choice. Harrington compared to Stafford? There is no comparison. Anyone who compares Harrington to Stafford is a moron! There isn’t anything that would put either one of these QBs in the same category.

Mooch was the real incompetent. Not to mention all those receivers who dropped balls laid right into their hands to lead the league over those years. Most infuriatingly, Roy Williams at the worst time possible, would run the wrong route or drop an easy catch. I totally agree with you about what happened to Harrington.

That is the term we use when some one is blamed for something that is not their fault. Sucking was Joey's fault. Scapegoat?
