Fans of the Detroit Lions are very tough on Matthew Stafford, though it's up for debate whether the fans are being too tough on him or if he deserves the criticism.
NFL.com put out their rankings for the best QBs in the league and the list didn't do Stafford any justice.
On the list, QBs are put into categories of "alone at the top, top shelf, next level, middle of the pack, after Smith [Alex Smith] and end game."
If you had to guess, where would Stafford fall? Mine was "middle of the pack."
Well, I was wrong. Stafford fell into the category of "end game" with Blaine Gabbert, Johnny Manziel and Matt Cassel. He came in at 29th on this list.
Personally, I think Stafford is better than Jameis Winston, Ryan Tannehill, Sam Braford, Brian Hoyer, Nick Foles and Kirk Cousins.
I might be wrong; Where do you think Stafford ranks?
