WHOA! Former All-Pro QB Boomer Esiason calls out Matthew Stafford
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has all of the ability in the world, there is no arguing that. Yet, because his team does not win, Stafford comes under fire quite often. Sometimes it’s Lions’ fans who criticize him and sometimes it’s the media.
On Thursday, former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason joined Mike Valenti on 97.1 The Ticket and he had some very strong words about Stafford as a leader.
“Matthew Stafford is a great QB, he can throw it with anybody. But I want Matt Patricia to hold him accountable. You know, that it’s not gonna be all about you in the fouth quarter, son. I need you to be careful, I need you to be energetic. One of the reasons why I think Tom Brady screams a lot on the sideline is because I think he tries to whip himself up into a frenzy. I don’t see that from Matthew. I see a lot of Eli Manning in Matthew, like ‘oh it’s ok’… No it’s not ok. It’s your team and you have to get your guys to believe in you and that you’re gonna win. I think Matt Patricia being around Tom Brady all those years knows what consonant professional is watching the greatest of all time. He’s gotta try and impart some of that wisdom on Matthew and hopefully, Matthew will buy into it, and he’ll buy into what his coach is selling. And not be a locker room lawyer… and be a locker room leader.”
