We can expect 5 more solid seasons from Stafford.
Maybe more.... but I got to looking at the career arc’s of the most recent great QB’s. You can argue my method, because I am speaking in generalizations here....
Looking with blurry vision at their careers....
Both Payton Manning and Matt Stafford starting putting up consistently productive numbers at age 23. Seen in the blue upward bars.
Brady about age 25. His accession is represented in maroon.
Brees, Rivers, and Roethlisberger all about age 27. They started playing their best then. These players share the grey bars upward.
All of these QB’s were studs overlapping age 27-37. Wide stretch of grey below.
About 37... a few start to taper off. Represented by grey bars going downward.
Brees played solid longer, IMO. Age 39. His desent represented in gold.
Brady probably even further, but you could argue where. About 41, maybe. He is still going so who knows.
Anyway... Stafford is 33... if he matches the shortest, but also most likely curve... we should see 5 solid seasons up to age 37.
No science. Just approximate.
