He would need a defense.  The QB is not the problem, contrary to popular narrative.
He might not be THE problem, but he definitely is a problem.

Even after that game, he ranks #28 of 33 qualified QBs in Total QBR

Some rumors of the Lions being interested in Maxx Crosby, and the Raiders listening.  Pride of Detroit podcast said the cost (in addition to his salary) would probably only be a 2nd round pick

WOW if that happens. Talk about a game changer over night. Lions would be SERIOUS contenders with another EDGE player on defense like that....

After last night he is tied for the league lead in TD passes.  Again- took his team to a 27-3 halftime lead. 

And again, Their horrible defense ( and painfully conservative play calling ) nearly cost the game in the 2nd half. No surprise given that during the Bears 14 game losing streak- they wer dead last in the league - by a wide margin- at points given up.

My impression of the NFl continues to be that few teams are bad, or good, most end up between 10-6 and 6-10 mostly because the ball bounced this way and not that.  I know it's still early, and maybe 2-3 teams will be clearly better than the rest.  I guess in that it resembles the B1G a bit, three top teams, one decent team, a vast muddle in the middle, and then ...

There was a longtime saying about the NFL, for years.  This was of course before they added the 17th game  but the saying went "It's an 8-8 league."

Most teams are average, with a couple each season that are really good, and a couple that are really bad.

LaPorta is an absolute perfect fit for this offense. I can't remember the Lions ever having a plan like this. Even when they were good, it was just them going after best available,.and it worked out. They have a vision and understand the players that fit it. He is the maxed out version of the post Hockenson TEs they used last year

Bill Walsh long ago said the players are largely fungible.   He wasn't wrong.

I just don't watch.  I happened to spot Falcon's scoring on line and pondered the back and forth nature of that game, ending on a FG to win.  I figure they are an 8-8 team a few breaks from 10-6 or 6-10.  I get why parity is liked by fans, OK, the other thing for me is lack of intensity that you see in CFB.

It's a bit like "pro wrastlin'".  

Folks noted before how fantasy football and betting is behind its popularity, a good part of it.
