Say what you want about Joe Burrow, but he’s entertaining and he recently recounted growing up and watching Thanksgiving football and of course watching the Detroit Lions and their once upon a time quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

As a fan of quarterback prospects, I was ready to go to war for Bryce Young in the 2023 draft, especially in comparison to one of the other top-ranked guys that year, Anthony Richardson. Ironically, people argued that Young would get injured too often and Richardson would look lost in the NFL, but it turns […]

Throughout the Sean McVay and Les Snead era in Los Angeles, it has almost been a running joke on how much they have ignored the linebacker position. After paying linebacker Alec Ogletree in early 2017, the Rams cut him five months later. Over the next eight years, the Rams didn’t just not pay a linebacker, […]

Quandre Diggs was recently added by the Seattle Seahawks, and that may not seem like a big deal, but he’s a former teammate of Matthew Stafford, and he also has picked off Stafford at least twice (based on my research with Google and Seahawks.com).

Whether you call it overrated, underrated, or fairly rated, Matthew Stafford is having one of the most unusual seasons by a quarterback in recent history. For example, Stafford’s last 18 touchdown passes have come while the Rams are either tied or have the lead. It’s been almost two months since Stafford threw a touchdown while […]
