The Valenti Show with Rico - Can you finally root against Matthew Stafford?

Now that Matthew Stafford has won a Super Bowl with the Rams. Can Lions' fans finally root against him? #lions #rams #stafford

Anyone rooting for the Rams to go anything outside of 0-17 is just strange.

[spartaninvirginia]

The second Stafford left Detroit, I stopped rooting for him and actively wanted him to fail.

[TheStephenjamesolive]

Amen to Mike's take on the royal family.

[robstoned]

I couldn’t give a f*** what Stafford does

[toasty]

Still rooting for him. It has nothing to do with wanting to prove the Lions wrong or have anything to do with hating the Lions. I hope both teams make the playoffs and if they face each other.. I'm rooting for the lions. The chances the Rams don't make the playoffs are very low.. and there isn't much difference between picks 18-32. I'm not going to hope Stafford loses in the NFC championship so Lions can get pick 30 instead of 32. Not happening.. Stafford is still my guy

[jaredkatzen]

The pick brings value as a trade asset to potentially draft young/stroud/Richardson. If the rams make the super bowl again it doesn’t matter but I’d rather that pick be 27-28 than 31-32

[nolanronayne]

Nah.. last year I felt this way but Brad Holmes had already proved he will find talent and make deals no matter where we pick.

[GoTime]

David is also right that’s how I’ve been feeling

[tedwitus]

hell yes ~ #9 is now JAMESON and I don't remember who wore that number before #goLions

[Airgenium]

Completely agree. The org will get roadblocked by their own fans long as part of the fanbase continues to clutch the past and this idea of "We wasted Matt Stafford" when plain and simple, both sides had fault. He had Calvin Johnson and even a top 5 defense at one point. Org did fail them both by not investing right, but there are still games that were played, that mattered, where he wasn't there for the Lions and Calvin.

Mike's point with the power of having picks next to each other in high spotting is dead on. Regardless if Goff is the guy or not, I want the best case scenario of the Lions looking like they are on the right track, but are able to get ahold of a player like Bryce Young in the draft. Great QB talent doesn't grow on trees.

[michiganspencer]

Hey Mike!!! There's ONE major flaw in your LOGIC! You're assuming the Lions organization is COMPETENT enough to use that pick to draft a great player!!!!

[GoTime]

I can grant it haha. I wanna see him do well I’d rather see his supporting cast fall apart around him. But if they a one or 2 seed by times playoffs are here I’ll be cheering for him cause at that point the pick isn’t gaining value.

[jamesgibson]

I’ve been saying that I hope he misses out on the next two seasons since he left. 2 top ten picks without trading up would be fantastic!

[hankcogburn]

I want a good draft pick. I root for all the Rams to stink!

[DougieG]

No he's my fantasy quarterback now.

[BEEFSERPENT]

i'll only root against him when he plays the lions cuz my team comes first

[eliottbressler]

This is exactly why lions fans don’t deserve shit. I get not wanting rams to win for draft picks but the whole hope he gets injured discussion is a joke. And to act like he didn’t play his heart out and put his body on the line for Detroit is ridiculous.

[jtimko]

Nope. I hope he wins the superbowl again. I still wear my Lions Stafford jersey on Sundays.

[kierenfarrell]

Black caucas won't have this haha

[Pants.]

I really don’t care how well he plays I just want his team to be bad
