Atlanta were very impressive today, and Detroit not too bad. There's a
good football team in the Motor City. They've just lost so many - too
many - good targets for Stafford. And they're beat up in the secondary.
If they get healthy, and with health comes consistency, watch out.
Last
year wasn't a mirage, I don't think. Stafford is as good as advertised. He can only get better with more targets, and figures to do just that next year, in the final year of his rookie contract. On the other hand, I don't know that Calvin Johnson would have broken Jerry Rice's season record for receiving yards - and be in with a realistic shot of going over 2000 yards in a season next week - if there'd been a more rounded and full cast of characters on the Ford Field turf more often this season. Megatron has been nothing short of phenomenal this year.
