Oh those fuckers.

I bet this is related to Brady working out all the time in Tampa while Stidham went to Texas for weeks to do ???

Somehow I don't think recouping a lost 3rd rounder was terribly high on their list of priorities.

I never bought for a second that Stidham was going to be the QB.

And also the Detroit Lions are fucking inept and afraid to take a real chance because god forbid Matt Stafford is made to feel uncomfortable. 

[Maxx]

The franchise quarterback population hadn’t been seen in the Detroit area for generations.  If you scare them off now, who knows when they will return?

[gunnar hendershow]

Stafford is in all honesty the least of Detroit's problems. But they absolutely should try to give the team a shot in the arm by signing a good backup (like Cam, too late there) or drafting a rookie QB early and giving them a shot to take the starting job.

I feel bad for Stafford that he wound up with a franchise with zero commitment to winning who has had two of the best players in history play for them in the last 30 years and managed to convince both of them to retire early. Oh and he was the guy tasked with being the franchise savior. So anything beyond bringing them to the promised land repeatedly was going to be the sign of a failed career. It's also not his fault they fired the best coach they had in years because 9-7 wasn't good enough. And replaced him with a guy who coasted in group projects because he was surrounded by much more competent coaches in Matt Patricia.

[The Buscher]

Jim Caldwell getting fired after three winning seasons in Detroit and then being unable to get another job is probably one of the go-to examples you can point to to highlight the NFL’s racist hiring practices.

[gunnar hendershow]

Brian Flores brought him on his staff last year but Caldwell had to step down.

The Detroit tenure is bad enough but Indianapolis made him the scapegoat for a half decade of disastrous drafts and Peyton Manning's body falling apart before it was magically healed in Denver.

The fact the guy made Joe Flacco the best QB in history for 2 months is a testament to how good of a coach he is.
