Although the TD to Kupp was insane, both from the decision to throw to the quality of the throw
Yea that 2nd TD throw was fucking nuts. The anticipation it takes to make that throw, the arm strength and accuracy to throw it on a rope into that open window and put it in that spot over the LB, all with a D lineman bearing down on him about to get hit. To me that was his 2nd best throw of the season after the throw in the 1st AZ game on 3rd & 10.
To me we will have to ride and die with his aggressive INTs. You don't make throws like the 2nd TD to Kupp unless you have supreme confidence in your own ability as a QB, and want to attack downfield. But that confidence has the chance to backfire at times, similar to Favre who had supreme arm confidence. Why I love Stafford is his INTs are almost always aggressively trying to fit the ball in, or trusting his talent too much in situations he shouldn't. Whereas Goff's INTs mostly came when he got fooled or just made an inaccurate pass. Granted Stafford I'm sure will have some Tennessee type games while he's here in LA, but overall his willingness to attack downfield will give us a better chance to win the big games. That aggressiveness fits with McVay and to see this production in their 1st year together is amazing.
But if we get hot we will still likely have to go play at Green Bay, and they have a QB who is just as deadly going down the field. Just as aggressive throwing into tight windows, yet never ever seems to turn the ball over. That just speaks to his greatness and I hope we are peaking as a team by the time we are flying to Green Bay for the NFCC.
