well. at first i was disappointed. but comparing him to the rest of the field. he still ranks third in qb rating. he ranks first in total qbr. he also ranks fourth in ypa.
football outsiders ranks him third although it’s possible he moves up after factoring prescott’s last game.
still a long way to go but not bad.
===============
I think some of us are kinda getting a more fine-tuned view of Stafford.
He’s definitely not one of those high-precision, always-accurate
type QBs. Like say, oh, i dunno…Montana, etc.
He can be wild at times, like Goff.
But Stafford threatens the entire field, and he’s ‘accurate enough’
I think. He’s somewhere in the top-ten in the NFL.
Compare Stafford’s performance this year with, say, Mahommes, who
we know is HOF caliber. Or Russell Wilson, also HOF caliber. Or Dak.
Or Lamar Jackson. Or Josh Allen.
I mean, all the top QBs have had bad games this year.
For me, what I’m seeing is mainly problems ‘around’ him.
Oline problems. And now, no Robert Woods which is huge.
And the running game is ok, but not top-ten.
The focus is gonna be on the QB, as per usual, but
this team will go as far as the OLine takes them.
