Ah, the life of an NFL quarterback. When you win, you’re the hero. When you lose, you’re the one to blame. Something Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is all too familiar with.
It sort of makes sense. The quarterback touches the ball on every offensive snap and thus has the opportunity to succeed or fail from the word “Hut!” However, this doesn’t equate directly to wins and losses. Which brings us back to Stafford.
What does he do on the field? He doesn’t block. He doesn’t run routes. He’s not the one trying to find a hole in the offensive line to run through.
