His throwing motion is not good, his accuracy is shit, he is not right.

Still the best chance to win but...

We probably won't find out until after the season is over.

He looks like a completely different QB. It is likely it is at least, in part, due to injury.

I am curious if he got hurt this year, or if it's a chronic thing. Injury concerns were a real concern for the trade

He's definitely hurt and this season is over. But hey we didn't resign him at least, so we can now trade our 1st round picks from 2024/2025/& 2026 to move up and draft one this year.

He's definitely hurt. And it's quite evident. He didn't just forget how to play like he was earlier this season. It's sad to see.

He doesn’t have the same zip on the ball. Accuracy issues. He’s not moving around in the pocket like he did early in the season. He’s definitely hurt

Man, I hope its because he's hurt. If it isn't we're in bigger trouble than we thought.

There was almost no chance anyway but they shoulda kicked the field goal a lot earlier. In the small chance they get the onsides they woulda had more time.

Anyone notice how he doesn't even take a full knee in the huddle anymore?? Just kind of like a half squat now? That started last week.

He's dealing with a lower body or back injury 100%. Or both.

Not hearing the excuse that's he's hurt. He's been hurt for years now and still decides to suit up and play.

Back injury has been reported for the last two or three weeks.

It looks like with the way he is babying the throws except for something deep.

Crawl back into your hole. He's obviously hurt and still has thrown for more TDs than Goff did all of last year, who had the #1 defense and a healthy Woods.

Oh here come the excuses lol.

He’s facing real defenses.

That is the difference.

The accuracy issues have been the same all season.

he looks hurt.. but... cant fumble inside the 5...

the pick six was a bit flukey - but its simple

missing passes here and there is okay but cant turn the ball over...

Yeah lets not act like Stafford isn't always hurt and always sucks against good teams. We have 12 years sample size of both especially the sucking against the good teams.

You’re smoking crack if you think there isn’t a difference in his accuracy over the last couple of years.

One thing I would hope we can find common ground on is both Goff and Stafford are very good with a clean pocket.

Stafford enjoyed pass pro in the first 7 games that, if we’re being honest we hadn’t seen since 2018, all of a sudden the past 3 games it’s reverted lo last years shit show, which unfortunately changes the performance level of said two QBs

As for the hurt narrative, maybe he is, who really knows amongst us here, but if he is then I’m not seeing how that should come as a surprise considering the pounding he took with the Lions, still a lot of football left to sort these things out

We probably shouldn't have went to an empty set on that play either, which is on McVay. Even if you're not going to run the ball, keep a back in the backfield for fuck's sake. It was 2nd an five ... at least make them wonder for a second whether or not they have to defend the run.
