Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports Matthew Stafford has missed more games (19) than he has played (13) in his first two NFL seasons, leading some fans to label him soft and injury-prone. In a radio interview today, one of his teammates went a step further. Asked what he thinks of Stafford in an interview on ESPN Radio (1430 AM) in Fresno, Calif., linebacker Zack Follett said the Detroit Lions' starting quarterback is “a china doll right now.†“Stafford, good guy,†Follett said. “He’s a china doll right now. Anytime he gets hit, he goes down. But the kid is -- hopefully, it’s just patiently waiting for him, because the kid is an awesome talent. He has a tremendous arm. The throws that he makes during practice when no one can touch him, he looks like an All-American quarterback, but put him in a game, and you hit his shoulder. So hopefully, say a couple prayers, keep him healthy next year, and the Lions can do some damage in the NFC.†Source: Detroit Free Press
What's the point of making this remark publically if you're his teammate? Nothing good can come from it, except getting your name out there for all the wrong reasons.
After the idiot went back on his comments, he made this one...lol... “I’m glad we have Matt Stafford instead of the Bears’ Quarterback because [Stafford] goes out there and plays with separated shoulders and wins games,” Follett said. He looks like an butt...
He's a baller. He's also an "artist", he's always been a bit kooky. He's not lying, anyway...what he said was accurate. I don't see why it should be controversial at all.
