Does anyone even the big supporters think Stafford is 3?

I've never been the Stafford homer that some other folks have, and I have never been as hard on him as many... but yeah, I think #3 is right.

Is that because he's a QB. #3 of all Lions? Even better than 13 hall of fame players? Dang.

I still recall the rook Landry puking on the sideline from nervousness while playing the Cowboys in the 1970 playoff game in which the Lions lost 5-0. I also still believe that the Lions could have won that game, had they played Bill Munson earlier in the 4th quarter, instead of just their final game-ending drive that came up short when time expired.

Erik Kramer-the only Lions QB to win a playoff game in the SB era thus far...and who also defeated the Lions in his final season as a Bears QB, in a come from behind win in the 4th quarter 31-27.
