Wednesday open thread: Is Matthew Stafford better than Russell Wilson?

I thought the headline might grab your attention. Earlier this week, former Seattle Seahawk and Detroit Lion Golden Tate said in an interview that “as of now, where I am today, I think (Matthew) Stafford’s been the best quarterback I’ve played with.”

That rose some eyebrows, as Tate’s quarterback in Seattle, Russell Wilson, is often viewed as an elite-tier quarterback and led Tate and the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win in 2013. Thus, it begs the question of how much truth there is to that statement, and whether you buy Golden Tate’s claim.
