The marriage of McVay and Stafford is so effective. I dont think it can ever by over-stated just how great it must be for McVay to have a veteran with as much mental-power and experience as Matthew Stafford. Now that Brady has retired, who is the top QB-brain active on the grid-iron? If it aint Stafford, I dunno who it would be. w v
I am stunned by how good Matthew Stafford is. More so this season than the SB season. He was good that year, but good lord almighty. That “No Look” throw in the Super Bowl was Something Else. It was not just a “cool throw.” There is a good chance that that pass would not have been completed, if it weren’t for the fact that it was a No Look pass. That LB was right there. He was smack in the sweet spot of that passing lane. And Stafford’s “misdirection gaze” made that dude lean slightly to his left, and by the time he saw where the ball was going, he just couldn’t quite reverse his momentum enough to get his fingertips on that pass, and that was a HUGE play. But now it seems like I see that freakshit from Stafford every single fucking game. The stakes aren’t as high, so maybe if we are judging passes like a Diving judge, and taking context into account, the Super Bowl pass was the highwater mark. But this year, it’s like he is making those throws without anybody paying much attention to it. He is doing it all the time. Roll to the left, throw cross-body to the right, splitting the legs of a LB, and darting the ball between 2 guys in the secondary who stretch out within 6 inches of the ball, right into the hands of some goddamn receiver nobody heard of before this year. With broken bones and probably a collapsed lung. It’s ridiculous. I am beginning to realize that I am deeply in love with Matthew Stafford. I’m going to say it right now: I think he’s better than Pat Haden was.
