I'm going to push back on that.
There are rookies, like Stroud or Dart (and many more) for example, who get drafted to start right away or play in their first year who do just fine.

And the Rams are a championship quality team.

All would not be lost necessarily.

Stroud can’t get it done in the playoffs by year 3 with the best defense in the NFL…no way he gets it done as a rookie.

Dart won four total games.

Broncos had one of the most complete teams in the nfl and couldn’t get it done without their starter.

Stafford has been on a stacked team for his entire Rams tenure but only made it to the Super Bowl once. Getting to the Superbowl is extremely difficult. I just don’t see a rookie coming in and getting it done.

Rookies are going to do rookie things. That’s not a knock on the talent. It’s just historically accurate.
 
Agree, season is fucked if we lose Stafford. Stafford is a HOF QB and MVP...... those are rare QBs to have.
There’s a great story about Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico going to a Colts practice a few days they had them for a MNF game back in the mid 2000s. Gruden noticed Peyton got 100% of the reps in practice. QB2 got zero reps. Gruden asked Colts OC Tom Moore why Peyton got 100% of the reps. Tom Moore said “if 18 goes down, we are fucked. And we don’t practice “fucked”.”

That's hilarious
