Matt Stafford may be the most disrespected 'very good QB' of this era.
It amazes me that people think there are 10 better quarterbacks in the league today. Not to mention, he's the comeback king.

Wow. So, in the end, Rhule didn't even make it to the Giants interview.
Again, he's a run-oriented coach who has had so much success leveraging the modern RPO approach.
