Lions rookie QB costs them a win at Seattle

NFL fans
expect rookie QB’s to struggle, as they get use to the speed of the NFL game. However most NFL fans also expect an overall number one draft pick to come in and produce for their teams. For the Detroit Lions who draft Matthew Stafford with the first pick in the 2009 draft, and paid him 41 million dollars guaranteed, that simply is not the case. In fact Stafford, who skipped his senior year in college, doesn’t appear anywhere near ready to lead a NFL offense.
