500 Questions

Is Matthew Stafford overrated?

User Avatar

Asked by Xwizardgodx

The answer to this question is based purely on ones opinion. As it stands now though, the question can not be fairly answered. Matt Stafford has had only one season to show his worth, that being 2009. In 2010 he was injured and could not play but one game. If he can stay healthy and the Lions continue to improve as a team then he will show his true worth.

Another quarterback that comes to mind as being seen as over rated early in his career is Payton Manning of the Colts. He remained healthy and could become as good as he is. It remains to be seen if Stafford can do the same.

What is the worst Detroit Lions loss in history?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Their worst loss, or losses, came at the hands of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2003. The Red Wings were the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Ducks were the #7 seed. The hockey community expected the Red Wings to easily defeat the Mighty Ducks, and move on to the second round of the playoffs. No one predicted what was about to happen! The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim swept the Red Wings in four games and went on to play against the New Jersey Devils in the Stanley Cup finals. The Red Wings were left to ponder not only the fact that they lost in the first round, but how they could be swept by the #7 seed.
