We all know Matthew Stafford has one of the best arms in the league, the question remains can he lead his team to win consistently even if it means they rely on him less? New Lions Head Coach utexas is charged with that arduous task. He must convince the man with one of the strongest cannons in the league to take the play that is there instead of forcing the ball. Luckily, the Lions have help in the running game with a stable of capable backs led by LeGarrett Blount and rookie Kerryon Johnson.  The Lions should be an above average offense and will need to be able to post points because the defense needs a lot of help. The defense is young but has the great fortune of being led by Darius Slay, a true shutdown corner. Will the Lions young front seven gel in time for a surprise playoff push?  Will Stafford play within himself?  The Lions need both of those and a few more things to break their way so they can end the playoff drought and finally bring a winning product to the Detroit faithful!
