My latest trip down bizarre/unusual Detroit Lions memory lane involves the young franchise QB expanding on a famous Dan Marino move for a classic regular season win.
Throughout his early years in Detroit, the national media almost universally referred to Matthew Stafford as a physically gifted ‘gunslinger’. The subtext here was that he relied too much on his talent (and Calvin Johnson‘s) and not his brains. As he matured into a more complete quarterback, Stafford is now getting the credit he deserves for just how smart of a player he’s become.
