Matthew Stafford in Command

Even with last week’s “down” performance, Lions QB Matthew Stafford continues to impress. No. 9 has been one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks since Jim Bob Cooter took over the Detroit Lions offense. Witness:

Stafford has great command of Cooter’s quick-hit, spread-the-wealth passing game. He’s rarely made the wrong decision with his route options, and the accuracy and mechanics are both above reproach.

Moreover, I’ve been impressed with Stafford’s leadership. Detroit needed a more demonstrative leader and Stafford has stepped it up, as I wrote about after the win in Indianapolis.
