Playoff QB rankings...

[LARAMSinFeb.]

Jake E. compiled stats among playoff teams the last 8 weeks. The Rams have been doing really well in that context. We're improving at such a rate we might be a better team with each playoff game.

strange thing to rank honestly.

what are the measuring points?

Lamar Jackson one of the worst Playoff QBs ever

Keep him contained and he usually sucks.

Containing him is the hard part though.

He's set up this year though with a very good defense (and everything around him on offense as well). I think he's got a nice shot to win it all if he just runs the offense and avoids turnovers. They're the best balanced team, and the shitters are right behind them.

If it was just the QBs then I think we're as good off as any team. The young elites (Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, etc) are not any better than Stafford in the crunch. With reasonable protections he's as good as it gets.

But anyway the question of who's gonna win it all comes down to the teams. Being in great shape at QB is nice but we're gonna need miracles on defense and special teams. Just hope it isn't SF because I don't want to hear the media jocks sucking them off all offseason. They need to come up short. Have to.

I found both the title and content of interest.

I had a gut feeling it would be a popularity contest based on opinion with minimal logical arguments using experience, accomplishments and playoff production. There are so many bad articles written to stir up replies. Fansided produces many of them

Mahomes and Stafford 1 & 2, an argument can be made to support either one as the #1. Stafford was doing Mahomes shit before Mahomes was in high school, maybe not as elusive.

Fansided writers have a short memory. Stafford was great in the 2021 playoffs. He had a weak Oline, not much of a running game and one healthy starting receiver in the Super Bowl. He was the best fourth-quarter QB in the league that year too.

Ok Stafford did not have a "weak oline" in that sb run. It was quite the opposite. He was pressured only on 16.4% of his attempts and that's was the 2nd best in the league.

True the pass pro was very good. As we all know it was the run game/blocking/backs/scheme that went from smoke and mirrors to non-existent in the big game.

Nice course correction this season.

Yeah that OL couldn't run the ball for shit. This OL is better but of course we don't have a dominant defense heading in.

But if they can just get back to that group they were earlier in the year...

Same. If I had to pick one QB for this specific playoff run only (no future considerations) I'd probably pick Stafford #1. Him and Mahomes are the only ones who have proven clutch in the playoffs and Stafford is on a hot streak compared to Mahomes and the Chiefs offensive funk this season.

As for Lamar, he looks improved from the pocket this year and utilizing his legs to help him pass instead of just running. I would not bet against him right now but I also need to see it happen all the way to the Super Bowl before I'd trust him over the proven commodities.

If there's 1:30 to go and my team needs a score to win, give me Mahomes or Stafford.

Not much of a running game, and that line isn’t playing close to what this one is.
