Matthew Stafford Mini Movie || Long Journey to the Championship

the report is this morning that calvin johnson one of the great wide receiver talents in the history of the national football league uh is going to retire and it's interesting that calvin johnson with a lot of legs and a lot of plays left is going to retire and barry sanders in his prime with a lot of years left retired both from detroit what a shock in both instances it was a massive waste of talent have to go for it on fourth and three and lawrence the one fumbled and the seattle seahawks are moving on and the detroit lions go into the off season the history the attitude the people detroit stands alone i'm proud to say this is where i started my nfl career good eye mike i guess you could say it's where i grew up in a time when this city had its back against the ropes you knew it would swing back this one's from my teammates in the city of detroit that's on a comeback of his own it's where i started my family where i became a husband and a father this city will always be a part [Music] hey hey that's the time i like to play right now give me get the point i can throw the ball in the game matthew stafford is about to be 33 years of age and he has an injury history remember now 2018 he missed half the season he had uh this year he had thumb real quality damage in 2019 fractured bone in his back 2016 dislocated finger 2011 broken finger 29 2010 separated shoulder dislocated patellar tendon in his knee also in 2009 oh yeah by the way skip how many playoff games have you won you know for 12 years all except for three of those 12 years he was at home during the playoffs and for most of you know nine out of those 12 years he watched other quarterbacks you know author their legend um while he was at home and i asked him at one point i was like what do you want out of the rest of your career and he was uh he was at an autograph signing and he put down the pen and he looked at me and he said you know i just want to play in big games i just want to make big throws against the top competition when everyone is watching matthew stafford has is not an mvp caliber player he's a good quarterback he's not a great one but he's a good one you give up golf two firsts and a third stephen a basically what this trade says is they have to win a super bowl they got to win a super bowl what in the next two years or it's a disaster [Music] i'm a fan of matthew stafford i think he has superstar capability and i believe he's going to have a career rebirth in hollywood with the rams at sofi the only thing we paid attention to for the detroit lions was matt stafford right his talent lends itself to us believing and he was in a franchise where we knew they weren't going to win games so we didn't see them but nfl players know how good matthew stafford is [Music] rolling left after the fake is going to air the talent is elite that's why for sean mcveigh he said i'm gonna go get a quarterback that i feel like can go beyond the x's and those when i'm not on my a-game i got a guy that can overcome that that is the thought process that that he has with matthew stafford stafford throwing for the first time in a diving catches [Music] stafford sets throws its own touchdown there's now all the headlines of you're the missing piece that this rams organization needed to take them all the way and win it this time do you feel pressure being here or do you welcome i love it you know i mean these are expectations that i want you know if i play my best you know i feel like we have as good a team as anybody it's a realistic chance and a chance to you know go do what i've always wanted to do and that's you know when super bowl so shoot i hope i'm here for a long time i hope i'm you know got a couple rings on my finger and at this point it's the only thing to plan for is attacking them in the air no pressure on stafford jackson they finally hit desean jackson touchdown four off the fake to michelle stafford fires to a wide open cooper cup [Music] [Applause] and then yes it's a strong division but man i think that with the weapons on offense weapons on defense the la rams were a lot of ways the quarterback away last year and the year before and when they were the super bowl before i think that matthew stafford can take them there [Music] here's one for backup got him touchdown stanford throws for cop he's got it cooper gets rams go a little tempo to keep baltimore in the same personnel grouping so staffer takes a deep shot on first down stafford loads up for the deep shot running ahead of everyone is van jefferson [Music] matthew stafford came in all in three oh and three this man is top 12 in yards top 12 in touchdowns right now oh and three in the playoffs this run that he is on right now can take him out of the seat and put him in a hall of fame chair if he wins this super bowl i think calamari can go toe-to-toe with any quarterback in the national football league right now [Applause] [Music] [Applause] scott beckham again down the oh no beckham jr here's stafford loads up middle of field for van jefferson on the money you know hopefully it's not just one hopefully it's a bunch in a row and end up doing what you want to do at the beginning of the season [Music] [Music] [Applause] all the way to the end zone [Music] [Music] there is one man in sports you do not met against his name is thomas edward patrick brady [Music] 42 seconds one timeout 42 seconds one time out get points right here come on [Music] gold [Music] kick on its way it is true it is good [Music] 13 years a tunnel of chaos and trailing you know for years since matt stafford's in the nfl since the end of the league he leads the nfl in fourth quarter comebacks and for years and years we always said yeah that's because he always trails in detroit yeah but he still played for detroit he came back and won those games and now you're like oh it wasn't just detroit it's matt stafford stafford enzo cop he's got it touchdown rams got opportunity for the 49ers it doesn't he flips [Music] do you think he if he wins it he's he's winning it in essence also for you and for the other guys in detroit who thought that there had an opportunity you know you gotta come to detroit it's like uh it's just at the graveyard you know but it's not you know you got guys that are you know fighting their tail off trying to be great you know i fully expect him to win it but uh you know i'm really i'm i'm hoping that he does because you know one he's a friend two just really proud of what he's done um one in detroit but definitely i mean being in the first year they brought you in here to go to the championship and you're ready to do that so that's that's just awesome i i just think that he has the gift he's always had the gift and really great he's always had great touch great pocket presence you know hustles when he runs out of the pocket i mean i've seen the guy we've seen the guy get injured big time big time and then get up and keep playing and the respect and admiration he has from other players is is uh you know undeniable so i really i'm just so happy for him i really am [Music] [Applause] stafford going to the end zone [Applause] [Music] touchdown you have to go play for the touchdown [Applause] [Music] matter i mean this is matthew stafford yes got it touchdown that's your situation i don't know if i have ever seen anybody be better than matthew stafford and cooper cup [Music] i think it's one of the most clutch if not the most clutch postseason stretches ever performance wise by quarterback tampa bay san francisco molly literally they've won three straight postseason games by three points all three contained game-winning drives by matthew stafford's never been done i mean it's not hyperbolic it is a fact you know matthew sometimes when a guy leaves a city there's hard feelings it never felt that way when you left detroit could you feel the love not only from the organization but the fans over this last month during this title run yeah i really could i uh it was amazing you know i mean like you said there's no reason for them to cheer for me anymore and the fact that they did was just a true testament to who they are as people who they are as fans

A small story that not many would care about.

I grew up a Lions fan. My favorite player is and was Barry Sanders. My sister used to tell me about all the great things he did when I was too young to remember much. (I was born in 1990).

No one else in my family is a Lions fan. I in fact don't know any other Lions fans in real life.

I've eaten shit for 31 years rooting for Detroit. I've defended Stafford since the day he was drafted, and I defend him today. He's been my favorite active player since the day he was drafted, even over Calvin (who has always been my 2nd favorite).

When the Lions traded my boy, I took my Fandom out west and became a Rams fan. Yeah, you can call me a new fan or a bandwagoner if you want. I don't care. I ate shit for 31 years and I finally left my abusive relationship with the Ford family. All of the awful shit that happens to the Lions is squarely on the Fords. No one else.

Watching Stafford overcome all the obstacles this year has been so liberating and justifying. Even through the down weeks, the rough starts, the picks, the fumbles, the errant throws... I knew he had it in him. The Rams had his back, and he had theirs. Above all the Rams feel like a family. A bunch of dudes who genuinely love each other. They play together, win together and lose together.

That's how they won the big one. They played like a family.

I say all of that to say this, I fucking love the Rams. Prior to this year I was fairly ambivalent about them. I rooted for them usually, but not always. But I'm a Ram for life now.

Run it back. Put my boy in the hall, put Kupp in the hall, put AD in the hall. Get that second ring. (And then a third)

Fuck them picks!

(Maybe not such a small story but whatever.)

PS: this video was fucking lit.
