Detroit is not a terrible team. They've been in every single game this year, and besides their loss to Minnesota (by 12), all their losses have been by one score. And they haven't missed a beat without Stafford.

It was a good win, period. Great ST, Good DEF, Not so great OFF. I'll take it! I'd rather have a win, however you want to paint it.

Haskins wasn't great. Not even close. I am concerned with his accuracy. He's had an issue sailing the ball over his receivers, as that was an identified weakness coming out of college. Hopefully he can fix that with a good QB coach, and practice. Time will tell.

they have lost three in a row without him, and I think it is a safe bet to say they beat us and Chicago with him. They would probably be in the playoff hunt if he didn’t get hurt.

What? They had 4 turnovers. Not so great offense, how about 230 net yards against a bottom feeder defense? Once again the offense doesn't score a TD. Haskins right now is the worst starting QB in the NFL by a country mile.

Again, you missed my point with regard to Stafford and his replacement. But that's ok.

And in this league a win is a win. Each week is hard. You don't get bonus points at the end of the season based on the "quality" of your opponents.

Definitely not on board me with your assessment that Haskins is the worst starting QB in the NFL.

Try to enjoy the W.

Who is worse?

I would say Mason Rudolph, but he just got benched this week.

How about Ryan Finley? No, wait, also benched.

How about Ryan Fitzpatrick? He was benched earlier this season though, but he reclaimed his starting gig on the "grass is greener" logic.

Those guys are BACKUPS, not considered starters. I said he was by far the worst starting QB.

Oh my bad, Finley started last week and for several weeks before that because their previous starting qb was benched for poor play. I guess that doesn't count?

Fitzpatrick has also been starting for the last several weeks due to their original starter being garbage. I guess that doesn't count either.

You need to clarify, is he the worst starting quarterback out of the 32 starting quarterbacks as of last week, or is he the worst out of all the future-long term starters in the league?

Do you exclude guys like Josh Rosen and Andy Dalton on your list because they played their way out of the starting role (and in Dalton's case back into the starting role because the backup qb was also garbage?)

When you say starting quarterback that generally implies he is the worst out of all 32 starting quarterbacks on a weekly basis.

Plenty who are worse...some names have already been mentioned. I think he's showing improvement in a lot of areas. Accuracy is his biggest issue at this point, but he's definitely not a country mile worse than ALL other starting QBs in the league, currently starting, benched, hurt, or otherwise.

What areas do you see improvement in? Just curious.

I would say his knowledge of the offense / the plays, his communication, his ability to read defenses better, and to know where to go with the ball...if he can tighten up his accuracy, like some have said, they probably win that Detroit game going away.
