When the Lions lace them up for a meaningless regular-season home finale on Sunday http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-au...-ii-jersey , they’ll have quarterback Matthew Stafford under center. The real question is whether they should.Stafford, who has been limited in every practice for the past two weeks with a back injury, is expected to play on Sunday against the Vikings, via Adam Schefter of ESPN. As MDS recently noted Marquise Brown Jersey , these are the same Vikings that bruised and battered Stafford for double-digit sacks earlier this year. The same Vikings that had nine sacks of Ryan Tannehill last Sunday. The same Vikings that will again come after Stafford hard, given that Minnesota still needs to win in order get to the playoffs.With so much money invested in Stafford for 2019, there’s no reason to take any chances with his potential availability for next season. It’s the same reason why the Panthers have shut down quarterback Cam Newton, and why the Packers should consider shutting down quarterback Aaron Rodgers.And so there’s plenty to lose and little to gain http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/...-authentic , and by late Sunday afternoon the Lions could end up regretting not giving Stafford time off to heal whatever it is that’s currently wrong with his back. Derek Anderson, a veteran quarterback who spent most of his time in the NFL as a backup but had one out-of-nowhere Pro Bowl season with the Browns in 2007, has retired.The Bills announced today that Anderson told them he’s going to retire rather than staying on the roster as Josh Allen‘s backup.The 35-year-old Anderson, who entered the NFL as a sixth-round draft pick out of Oregon State in 2005 Miles Boykin Jersey , has spent time with the Ravens, Browns, Cardinals and Panthers before signing with the Bills last year. In his third NFL season and first as a regular starter, he surprised everyone by throwing for 3 Deandre Baker Jersey ,787 yards and 19 touchdowns and leading the Browns to a 10-6 record — their best record since returning to the NFL as an expansion team in 1999.But Anderson never replicated that success, and spent the last decade as primarily a backup who would occasionally start in case of an injury. At 35, Anderson has apparently decided he’s done everything he’s going to do in the NFL.
