it was only a matter of time before the wheels fell off. It's going to be a long way back to winning football. Go Rams

Stafford ain't fuckin done.

He's got a weak OL in front of him right now, and he has no damn running game.

Is Mahomes done? He just threw a few picks and lost to the Broncos??

WTF happened to our OL though? They were looking much better a few weeks ago. Nobody was talking about a weak OL after we played the 9ers, and they have a fucking stellar DL.

not sure... if you look up his INT rate vs top 20 all time QBS he is pretty similar.

Peyton manning had 2.7 % career int rate Staffard 2.5%

Before 2021 his highest int number in about 10 years was 13.
Umh.. also had years with 20, 19, 17, and 16 int's with Detroit. And 17 int's in 2021. And leads NFl active qbs with 29 pick sixes. But you're right, his overall rate still is no worse than a lot of qbs. Also had 8 losing seasons and some serious injuries in Detroit.

But we knew all that when we traded for him. Main thing for the Rams was he avoided game losing mistakes while making game winning plays in the 2021 Super Bowl run.

But can he stay healthy at this point in his career? Can he make a not so good team a contender? And can the Rams afford him while they try to rebuild? Not sure the answers all line up as yes.

Also have to say I really can't believe he hurt his thumb trying to catch a 2 point conversion. How stupid does that call look right now?

Yea...he did that with a 2-1 td/int ratio. Now he's at a 1-1 ratio and that's just not acceptable for any qb much less Stafford.
It’s not. But there are multiple factors at play.
His actual play… not the basic numbers.. has been much like the rest of his career, imo.

Well, about 4 of his picks have been off the hands of our pass catchers.

Last 2-3 games are on him, but first few were off drops.

Mahomes threw 2 interceptions and no touchdowns today and lost to the Broncos!
Stafford will have bad games, but I think he's still the best option for us at this time.

Stafford is done. Done. Done. Sorry. It's over
No. He's not.
Sorry, it's not.

It's pretty cliche how quickly people turn to "it's a bad QB," even on this board.

Matt is a hall of very good QB.. not an HOF guy. He's always had rough patches.
None of what's happening hasn't happened before with him.. and the arm strength and ability to move around in the pocket aren't the problems.

If Stafford is done for significant time we can't just role with Rypien. Colt McCoy is still a free agent. We need to be on the phone with multiple teams tonight and inquiring about their backup QBs
Not if they are done with the season and let the train crash continue because they are saving cash and draft picks/positioning for 2024.

McVay has a "Stafford" problem. He's so enamored with Matthew's arm talent that it has distorted his view of how games are won.

McVay was a better coach when he had less talented QBs.

No he is not “done”.
What the fuck does that even mean.
Anyone thinks that doesn’t realize how lucky we are to have him as QB.
He is a gunslinger, and I’ll take that all day long, cuz usually he delivers.
Niners made Dallas look like Dallas made us look today.

It happens. Refs fucked us early on, and it went downhill. Big deal. Shit happens. But to say Stanford is done(other than injury) is just ignorant.

Stafford needs a strong supporting cast to be on a winning team. He doesn't have it this season and probably won't ever again with the Rams.

His record with the Lions is evidence of this.

Honestly,.it feels like ever since QBs wifey got the podcast platform shit has been trending downhill. She wants him retired. We need to pivot and draft 2 QB prospects if that's what it takes

Stafford is not done, His O-line protection( Or lack thereof) is the Problem! Hes got 2.5secs or less to throw, and hes used to Kupp bailing him out of failed O-line coverage. Its what hes used to. He somewhat trusts Puka now, but the rest forget it. Shelton was non existant yesterday, and Stafford was like WTH a lot of the times and either just threw or dumped it to Hendo, or Hig! Only times others get it, is when hes like im tired of this shit, and just throws it.
