When the Lions have the ball tomorrow, it's likely we'll be looking at something that seldom happens.

The best player for one franchise is on the field against the best player for the other.

I maintain that Julius Peppers is the best Panther of all-time, just ahead of Steve Smith and Cam Newton.

And I really do think Matt Stafford is the best Lion of all-time, just ahead of Calvin Johnson and then Barry Sanders.

Can you think of a similar scenario ever unfolding on an NFL field?

Stafford has never been top 5 at his position in any given year. 

Barry Saunders and Megatron are arguably top 5 in their respective positions all time.  

You could make a passable argument that Matt Stafford is more important to the success of the franchise, with this being a QB-centric league and all but Stafford doesn't hold a candle to the other two.

There's a reason Barry is in the Hall of Fame, Megatron will be, and Stafford probably won't.

Who's ALT is doing this?

This has to be Igor judging by his smack thread. There are some stupid people but he's other level stupid and annoying

Cam is going to show who the real best player is from either franchise tomorrow.

lol stafford against the vikings looked like matt ryan against the bills. both were terribly inaccurate. stafford has a big ol' horseshoe or something too, cause he had a lot of interceptable passes that game.

stafford is nowhere near the best lion lol.

Young whipper snappers should be forced to watch the history of the NFL by their parents or their parents should be jailed.

It is literally a crime to say Stafford is a better Lion than Barry Sanders. Such blasphemy would not be tolerated if I were in charge. Sanders not only is the best Lion of all time by an easy margin but he's one of the best athletes to ever play period. Not just in the NFL but period.

Luke Keuchly is without a doubt the best player we've ever drafted... 

[ForJimmy]

Is Drew Brees the best Saint?

[Carolina Cajun]

Peppers isn't the best panther and Stafford isn't the best Lion.  Steve smith with the triple crown, Luke with the DPOY, Cam with MVP and OPOY.  On the other side, you're kidding if you think anyone besides barry sanders is the greatest lion ever.  That dude had no team around him and just destroyed defenses.

Stafford is the best lion? Is this guy serious? 

[Arroz con Panther]

Well, it's a fact so...

And when we play the Falcons, it'll be Pep and Julio Jones. I do think Jones is ahead of Jamal Anderson and Vick by now.

There are only maybe 5 players All-Time who were better at football than Barry Sanders and none of them ever played, now play, or will ever play for the Lions.
