Stafford never passed for better than 61% in college (and he was a shitty 52 and 55% his first two years).
51 TDs to 33 Ints.
That's not Geno level numbers - and he had a running game and defense to support him.
He has a cannon. But there is also a reason that the Lions made Calvin Johnson the richest man in the NFL - because Stafford still has no touch and needs a guy like Johnson to make those plays downfield.
Right now, he's Culpepper with Moss.
He was drafted that high for the same reason guys like Jamarcus Russell, Jay Cutler and Kyler Boller were drafted high - huge arm.
But let's not make it out like he was the second coming of Elway. He wasn't.
