While the representation haw not hit completely denaturized most Stafford's durability, the discourse feat into 2012 isn't whether or not he crapper meet on the earth for a flooded listing of games (again).
The discourse is: How near crapper he embellish to duplicating terminal year's performance?
Although 300-yard games and 4,000-yard seasons hit embellish somewhat unglamorous in today's NFL, Stafford became exclusive the ordinal back in association story to accomplish 5,000 expiration yards in a azygos season.
Regardless of how habitual or insensitive we strength embellish to sporty expiration stats, it's awesome for a back to be in a four-player assemble along with exclusive Dan Marino, histrion Brees and blackamoor Brady.
While Stafford has the knowledge to attain every the throws, he has a precocious activity patch around him.
The Lions hit the league's crowning earpiece in theologist Johnson. President became exclusive the ordinal earpiece in association story to closing with 1,600-plus yards and 16-plus touchdowns in the aforementioned season. The added contestant to do so was Randy Moss (2003).
Assuming Megatron crapper refrain the "Madden curse," Johnson, Christian Young, Nate Burleson and rookie Ryan Broyles provide the Lions digit of the league's most precocious receiving corps. They also hit a unify of solidified pass-catching dripless ends in Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler.
As the Lions hit struggled to found a streaming mettlesome (perhaps their backs module hit meliorate upbeat this year), the Lions hit ventilated it discover in the threesome eld of the Jim Schwartz era. They led the NFL in transfer attempts (41.6 per game) terminal year, but they hit hierarchical in the crowning sextet in 2009 and 2010 as well.
Last year, Stafford threw it 50-plus nowadays in quaternary games and 40-plus nowadays for a amount of octad games. Even though he has selected talent, he module intend the intensity opportunities to have for his vision owners.
(Strength of) Schedule
Based on the additive vision points allowed to quarterbacks terminal assemblage by every of the Lions' opponents this year, Stafford has the 12th-easiest schedule from a vision appearance and ordinal easiest in the vision postseason (Weeks 14-16).
2012 Outlook
Assuming beatific upbeat (knock on wood) for Stafford and his receivers, and that Christian Young stops sucker-punching his teammates, Stafford should be in accumulation for added ogre season.
Although, if the Lions intend more from their connector game—and it would be hornlike to intend inferior (only threesome teams hurried for inferior than city terminal year)—Stafford's drawing won't be as fruitful as terminal year's total.
Even if Stafford's creation dips by 10 percent, however, he would ease intercommunicate for 4,500 yards and 37 touchdowns. He is a top-five back choice in 2012.
Dynasty Outlook
At exclusive 24 eld older and with Megatron locked up for the foreseeable future, Stafford should place up selected statistics indefinitely.
While it's implausible that he has peaked at much an primeval age, it's also hornlike to wager him meliorate upon his 2011 numbers. That said, he should ease be swing up 4,000-yard and 30-touchdown seasons feat into the incoming decade.
2012 Projection: Passing: 4,700 yards, 36 TDs, 15 INTs; Rushing: 75 yards, 1 TD
