Stafford won the toughest division in football
You all doubted him
Did the division suddenly become tougher than I had been each of the last two seasons?
I didn?t doubt Stafford at all. I figured the Rams would make it to the playoffs this season, just like they made it to the playoffs each of the last two seasons without Stafford.
Here?s what we learned so far. Stafford appears to be about as good of a quarterback Goff is a good team, and a little better quarterback on a bad team than Goff is.
Rams didn?t win the Super Bowl either of the last two seasons, and they?re not gonna win it this year either.
Stafford probably has more success than any quarterback in the NFL when it comes to losing at Lambeau field, and I have little doubt that trend will fail to continue should the Rams make it that far.

You can also look at it from the Lions perspective...
Stafford 5 wins.
Goff 3.5 wins vs a tougher schedule and less talent.
Neither guy is a difference maker imo. Just lump them both in with the 8 - 20 ranked QBs. Not guys you have to get rid of until you find a better replacement.
There is no way you watched Lions games and Rams games this year and came away saying ?lump Goff and Stafford together?. That?s insanity.
Stafford was #4 in rating and #6 in QBR. Goff was 17th in rating and 24th in QBR. Stafford threw 2 fewer TD than Brady (league leader) in 118 fewer attempts. The interceptions are, however, are VERY concerning?.he threw 4 in the first 8 weeks?.and a whopping 13 in the last 9. Thats bad.
He was very good. Not great.
Playoffs will tell if he was cursed by a bad team in Detroit?.or if HE?S the curse.
PS...the rams could win it all this year. Orrrrr it wouldnt surprise me at all if they lose in rd 1. Its wide open....especially in the NFC where TB, Dallas, Arizona, SF, Philly all have been up and down and not playing consistent football.
They lose in rd 1 im sure the entire fan base would take their (2) 1st rounders back in a heartbeat if they could ditch stafford.
I think I understand what you?re saying it this post?..but words cannot describe how poorly written it is.

11. Matthew Stafford: 80.7
Stafford had a very good first season with the Rams, but it wasn?t enough to earn him a spot among the top 10 quarterbacks in PFF?s grading system. It was, however, the fifth-best grade of his career since coming into the NFL in 2009.
For anyone who is a PFF on the brain. Not sure that's a rousing "you're the best QB ever on your buffed team."
I am a big Stafford believer and truly thought he got a lot more heat then he deserved here. I will say though that year 1 with the Rams cannot be classified as anything, but a dissapointment in the regular season. He started on fire, but regressed throughout the season. In the end he wasn't any better then the guy he was with us. Even with a hot shot offensive mind in McVay, a very good O-Line, solid rushing attack, and a bunch of weapons he was still just a very good QB and not elite.
They won one more game with Stafford instead of Goff and that is with a 17 game season. All things considered I don't think he was the massive upgrade over Goff that everyone thought he would be, at least so far.

I don't think W's and L's are a good way to judge quarterbacks. It's WAY too general and takes nothing else into account. I think we saw with Goff this year that any offense is somewhat limited with him. He's more careful with the ball, but certainly won't make the amount of big plays, either. Protect him well and hes fairly accurate but is still a 1-2 read and dump it down guy.
Stafford is simply a much better quarterback than Jared Goff.
That being said, i agree the Rams probably wanted/expected a bit more from Stafford than they got. 13 INTS in the last 9 games is problematic. Just too many bad decisions.
