With the successful workout by Stafford and Cutler on the trading block - do the Lions have a preference which direction they acquire their QB and if they are able to get Cutler what does that mean for the #1 pick?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-61562592483119915382009-04-01T08:56:00.000-04:002009-04-01T08:56:00.000-04:00Stafford is--at his best--a young version of Cutle...Stafford is--at his best--a young version of Cutler. The biggest difference between the two is that Stafford CAN be a good QB whereas Cutler IS a good QB. I'll take a guy who's done it over a guy who might be able to do it. <BR/><BR/>Cutler is only 25 and has had success even though he came out of Vanderbilt and was just diagnosed with diabetes last year. Think of how much those two factors played against his maturation. <BR/><BR/>We would be getting a 25 year old probowl QB who has no where to go but up. Signing him to 9mil/year is a lot more attractive than signing Stafford (who hasn't thrown an NFL pass) to 11mil/yearMichael Schotteyhttp://www.drafttek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-14094869771158964322009-04-01T05:49:00.000-04:002009-04-01T05:49:00.000-04:00Isn't Matt Stafford basically a younger version of...Isn't Matt Stafford basically a younger version of Jay Cutler?

Maybe the 20 straight up, but still if Denver would trade him, what makes anyone think the Lions want this attitude in their clubhouse?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-77350245090201003942009-04-01T00:34:00.000-04:002009-04-01T00:34:00.000-04:00is it a coincidence that on the day stafford has h...is it a coincidence that on the day stafford has his 'flawless' workout bowlen just happens to have contact with cook and come to the conclusion that it's time to trade cuter? i dunno, but the timing of all of this sure makes it interesting to say the least ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-17130027175489429942009-04-01T00:18:00.000-04:002009-04-01T00:18:00.000-04:00If Mayhew pulls off a deal for Cutler I think we s...If Mayhew pulls off a deal for Cutler I think we should be pretty impressed. I think that's the move. If we don't get Cutler, this report certainly makes things interesting.
