Has the NFC North suddenly become a battle of the young QBs?

Lions: Matthew Stafford*. #1 overall. Franchise QB.

Bears: Jay Cutler. Pro Bowler. Franchise QB.

Packers: Aaron Rodgers. Favre's heir. Franchise QB.

Vikings: er... Tarvaris Jackson. Well, there's always one that spoils the party!

* Assuming the Lions draft Stafford, which they pretty much will have to, to compete now.

2009 is going to be a very interesting season.

For me, its waaay too early to call Stafford a Franchise QB. But yes, assuming everyone stays put and is healthy there will always be some comparison of Rodgers to Cutler.

Even if the Lions sign Stafford, I doubt they'll start him directly. They still have Culpepper who can play allright if he has some talent around him. At least as good or better as a first year QB, I guess.

(Yeah, I know. Matt Ryan, but how often does that happen? And Flacco really wasn't that good.)

I just hope that this sparks back up the GB/Bears rivalry which hasn't been that exciting to me in the last couple years 🙂

I know I'll dislike their QB more than Orton, that's for sure.

I think the NFC north is on the cusp of becoming a very strong division.....if only the Lions can get their shit together and become at least respectable.

Until I heard about the killer workout Stafford put together for the Lions, I was pretty convinced the would go Jason Smith OT Baylor as their top pick. Still might, but Stafford looked really good.

What the hell happened to Drew Stanton? I thought they were all over this kid.

edit: digs; what were you doing up at 4:44 a.m.?

I wouldn't draft Stafford. He'd get David Carr'ed.

Build the team first. QB should be the last piece. Draft that QB in '10.

But yeah, the Packers and da Bears now have QBs. The Vikings are kind of looking silly now. :pottytrain2:

If the Liions think Stafford will be a franchise QB they would be crazy not to draft him. Franchise QBs are very hard to get. A couple of teams have been very lucky as of late, but that is not the norm. They would also be crazy to play him immediately. Sit him until he has some experience and the team has some kind of decent supporting players. The only thing close to being as hard to as great QBs are great LTs and DEs.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
