NFL analyst David Carr believes Matthew Stafford and Lions can “do something special” in 2020

According to NFL analyst David Carr, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is in a position to do something special with the team this season.

During a panel discussion, Carr tabbed Stafford over fellow quarterbacks such as Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray for who would win the most games this season. Additionally, he believes that the offseason moves the team made put them in the best position to win:

“This may not be the popular answer, but Matthew Stafford is in good position heading into the 2020 NFL season,” Carr writes. “I love the moves the Lions made in the offseason on defense, from the acquisitions of Jamie Collins, Danny Shelton and Duron Harmon (all coming from New England) to the signing of Desmond Trufant after trading away Darius Slay, who made it clear he didn’t want to be in Detroit. Oh, and then they went out and drafted the top CB in the class in Jeff Okudah. Offensively, second-round pick D’Andre Swift should provide a boost out of the backfield”

“If I’m Stafford, I feel really good about the roster and confident the Lions can do something special this fall.”

The Lions turned some heads when they elected to bring back GM Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia, so naturally there will be fans who disagree with Carr’s assessment.

Stafford had been playing at an MVP level in 2019 before his lingering back injury forced him to miss the remainder of the year.
