An optimist is often described as someone who sees a glass as half full. While the pessimist sees the same glass as half empty. Instead of a nondescript glass, perhaps they can make the new barometer the career of Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Fans seem divided when it comes to the legacy of Stafford as the longtime passer prepares to dive into his 12th NFL season in the Motor City. While many agree that the former number one overall selection in the 2009 NFL Draft is the Lions’ greatest quarterback since Bobby Layne, his lack of playoff success continues to be his biggest obstacle to being considered elite.
