Reggie Bush compares Matthew Stafford to Drew Brees

Choupique · 06-10-2013, 08:30 AM

I'm not a fan of Michigan anything.

I've been there and witnessed first hand how much Michaganders like them some Michigan. They'll tell you all about it too.

2dat. Kick some motown butt when the opportunity presents itself... is all I care about Detroit. What a hole.

Stafford is an okay ball thrower. He ain't all that. He isn't a Drew Brees. He whines too much to be in that caliber.

Agree with you about Stafford, you could see his potential at Georgia.

As far as Reggie, well do I really even need to say anything, lol.

Not trying to take anything away from Stafford. However I don't see thats its any comparison.

Stafford has had 1 season over 60% and Drew has not had one under 63% since 2004.

Megatron has made Stafford, Drew has made our receivers.

Then there is the running game, If Detroit gets one Staffords pass attempts will go down. Detroit also play a lot from behind which increases his throwing.

Stafford "Reggie, stop dancing and run north/south"

Reggie "Damn, you yell at me just like Brees"

Come on Toepick, where and when has Stafford ever been a whiner? Never happened. Next time you're in the "D", give me a shout, I'll give ya' the tour,

[QUOTE=SloMotion;507277]

The 'greats' have defining moments, those things fans key on and talk about for years to come. Stafford has had a few. His 5,000yd season (eclipsed that year by Drew, of course,

) and then following it up with a similiar performance last year. But the one that made me believe Detroit finally found a real gamer at QB was in '09 in a game against the Browns where he was injured on the second-to-last play of the game and then came back in to throw the game-winning touchdown with no time left on the clock ... the kid has 'moxie'. Yeah, it was the '09 Lions vs the Browns and I'm sure I embellish the story a bit, but there was no denying that day,

.

This is what made me a believer in Stafford!

Just the fact that he knew the rule in that situation is impressive enough, but he came back in with a separated shoulder and threw a GW TD will/should be one of the greatest moments in Lions history.

... and later, in the Lions front office:

Lions Executive VP of Football Operations/General Manager Martin Mayhew: "Reggie, we had a running back that spent a lot of time running east/west before going north/south and that was Barry Sanders. You are no Barry Sanders. Listen to your quarterback".

He is no Darren Sproles either!

Yeah, that's why I kinda' wish Reggie would just stfu until he's made a substantial contribution to the team,

. Motivating yourself & your teammates is a good thing, but writing checks you may not be able to cover is just setting yourself up for a fall.

We know Bush is capable of doing a lot of good on a team like the Lions.

They already have Stafford and Johnson; Bush is one more scoring threat that a DC has to contend with.
