I never hated Jared. I respected the toughness it took at Cal for him to gut it out, getting smashed that first year in College. He steadily improved there. After Fisher's last year, he did well with McVay in 2017 and 2018. BUT, when the misdirection started failing, he looked like a lost duck, often. My gut would clench when he was running and didn't see the defender closing like a heat seeking missile, but it seemed that he was going to fumble when hit that way. The lack of a decent center in 2019 and 2020 didn't help him at all and I think he WANTED to do better, but didn't know how, for whatever reason. As thin and spindly as he looked, he was very durable for us. But, he lacked confidence of earlier years, imo, and he wasn't that good throwing off his back foot. I like Stafford because he can make those throws where he doesn't have time for perfect form in doing it. Stafford will throw INTS, but he can be incredibly precise in more situations than Jared, imo.
We are a better team in my opinion with Stafford than with Jared, but I would have been ok to have stuck with him of the trade didn't happen. He's a decent QB, who is someone rare in Rams history...
