The Patriots have to be the prohibitive favorite. It would clearly be Stanford’s first choice and Matt Patricia, his last HC, is the OC.
Not sure about that. From all reports everyone in Detroit hated Matt Patricia from day one.

That assumes Stafford liked Patricia's offense. I don't think that is a given.

True - but he played very well in patricias offense. I guess i feel the Patriots is always the most attractive destination for any player.

He’s taken his team to the playoffs and won a game atleast
Winning one playoff game constitutes "winning," eh?

What teams are interested him? I know there are other teams in the qb market but I haven't really seen teams attached to him like Watson.

That's all the sports talking heads are talking about here in Denver - how to land Stafford or Watson.

In Detroit winning a playoff game is like us winning the Superbowl. We're talking Detroit, a team that rivals Cleveland for failure historically. We're talking a franchise that forced Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson to quit playing early because they knew they were wasting their talents playing for that team. Don't sell Stafford short. For another analogy, Ovi was always known as a playoff loser, until the moment he wasn't. Lack of past success is not always an indicator of future failure.

My response was to skinsfaninok stating Stafford has never won anything and Watson has won something. Watson has only won one playoff game. So, I was asking does winning one playoff game constitutes winning.
I'd definitely take either one, and if I had one choice it'd be Watson. But Watson will likely cost a ransom, and I doubt he's seriously on our radar. Based on decent reports, he isn't on our list of suitors.
Stafford as a consolation, so to speak, would be more than fine.
