A healthy Matthew Stafford can be the best starting QB in the NFL, given an effective support system.

I think last year he was all sated and shit from finally winning that title. Not just him but a whole bunch of them too, that was the happiest fucking team I've ever seen from a title top to bottom. After last season he's gonna play pissed off, so I would say he's in for a good year if we have even a decent line. Draft him on the cheap in fantasy in fact.

He's gonna play pissed off until his head gets knocked off W3.

Without a healthy OL will not be so healthy for Stafford. I am curious to see how this team plans to compete this upcoming season…

I have all daughters too and have supported causes for womens rights, women in sports, etc. Any father with all girls would do the same. Kudos to the Staffords. In my case having all girls seems like karma and support, more of a pennence when thinking back to my youth. :hush:

He is getting paid to be one of the best.
Same with AD99

Rams might have a tough 2023,but both these players should be fresh. The Rams basically gave them the rest of 2022 off.

Does it matter if he is or isn't the best? Stafford proved all his doubters wrong and proved all he will ever need to prove in 2021 winning that Lombardi. All that matters is that Stafford proved he's good enough to win it all. That is the only time being good enough is good enough.

Yes but I hope he has the desire to win more like Brady

If our OL doesn't start trending up, Stafford should sit out the season. Might as well let Wolford be the punching bag.
If Wolford is still a backup on this team after last year, then someone needs to explain the meaning of JAG to McVay...I don't care how smart he is, he is physically limited. I know you didn't intend to set me off, but when I saw his name my right eye started twitching..it's as if we are in back-up quarterback hell.

Man, you had to go back a few weeks for that quote. Of course I was being facetious, but there is some truth to it if Stafford goes down again while fingers are being pointed at an inept OL.
I for one won't complain should the Rams decide to move up in the draft if they see a potential future successor to Stafford coming available.

Lol. He's already one of the best starting quarterbacks in the NFL.
So what are you trying to say here?

And you're absolutely right.

Damn right he's the best in the NFC, especially if Rodgers goes to the Jets. My concern is health, though; we need a healthy O-line for a healthy Stafford.
