Acme Packing Company has an interesting post up this morning. Not many people in Packer nation have been paying much attention to Matthew Stafford because, well, he's not coming to Green Bay, therefore he won't directly affect the Pack. We may, however, have to face him twice every year if the Lions, as expected, take him at the number one spot in April's draft. And Acme thinks this might be a good thing for the green and gold.They point out that he has all of the physical tools that will give him the opportunity to succeed. He's 6'3", 236, and is a good athlete. He has a big arm. Does Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, or Tim Couch ring a bell? Stafford's numbers in his three years at Georgia compare negatively to his predecessor, David Greene, according to Football Outsiders. They both played under Mark Richt in the same system as Bulldogs. And Greene, well, let's just say he didn't have much success in the NFL. In fact, he never took a regular season snap. He's already retired at the age of 26. So hopefully, at least for Cheeseheads' sake, this means something, and the Lions get another bust that will result in two more wins each season for years to come.
