The Detroit Lions have started the 2015 season 0-3. A lot of the blame from the fans has fallen on the shoulders of Matthew Stafford.

After the Lions 24-12 loss to the Denver Broncos Sunday night, Jeff Riger caught up with Broncos legend and the team's GM John Elway after the game.

Riger asked Elway for his thoughts on the Lions QB Matthew Stafford.

"Well, I think he's a great young quarterback," Elway said. He's a tough guy that has all the tools to be a great one. I know that they have got off to a slow start this year, but he hangs in there and keeps battling. I think he's going to grow and get better and be one of the top quarterbacks in the league."

Those are strong comments coming from one of the best QBs to ever play in the NFL. Do you believe that Stafford will grow to be one of the best in the league?
