Despite Matthew Stafford struggling through the first five games of the 2015 NFL season, Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell has said he has no plans to bench him at this time.
"Really, it's like a pitcher not having a very good day," Caldwell said, according to ESPN. "He's still our starter. There will be no issues there, so there is no quarterback controversy or anything of that nature."
With all the weapons that Stafford has at his disposal, it's inexcusable that the team is currently winless at 0-5. Ever since entering the NFL, Stafford has always displayed all of the talent necessary to become a superstar quarterback. But he's a lot like Chicago Bears' Jay Cutler because he lacks leadership and accuracy.
I view Stafford this season like I view San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. They are far too inconsistent to trust. They aren't worth the risk of starting in any fantasy football leagues.
