Quarterback Matthew Stafford carried the Lions through the first nine weeks of the season. Unfortunately, he’s been sidelined with a back injury for the last two weeks.

Detroit has lost both of those games as well. They now sit at 3-6-1 on the season.

One former player believes there’s no need for Stafford to return to game action this season because of the current state of the team.

Here is what former wide receiver Herman Moore told Brandon Folsom from the Port Huron Times Herald regarding the situation:

“I would look at it and say, ‘What is there to gain?’ ” said the former Lions receiver, who was in Port Huron on Tuesday for Fox Sports Detroit’s Football Week in Michigan Bus Tour. 

“If this team was postseason bound, which it looks very bleak right now, I would try to bring Stafford back. But I don’t know if it’s worth the risk.”

Do you want to see Stafford one more time before the end of the season? Or do you agree with Moore?
