I see that statistically they appear to be even but Stafford has played 8 or 9 fewer games due to injury (2022 and 2023) and missing the SF game last year
Stafford appears to be even with Goff but has played fewer games… If we projected his stats out over those missed games it’s not really close at all is it?

I think the one thing I would add in fairness is that Goff put up better stats with a rookie OC and an offense that was by far inferior to the RAMS (although they are catching up). That said, I agree with those that said this was a win/win for everyone. I also learned that it is absolutely important that the H/C and or O/C and the QB are a fit for one another. Clearly, Goff and McVay did not fit...I don't know what it was but it was never going to work (and we can disagree on this but I put that on McVay). It is also interesting to note that when Goff first went to Detroit they had an O/C (and don't know what his name is) that was also a bad fit and Goff was terrible for like the first 7 games until they fired this guy. That's when rookie O/C Ben Johnson took over, said he relied heavily on Goff, and even with the worst offensive personnel in the NFL I believe Goff was the #1 rated QB the last 9 games of the season. I don't know how you determine fit between player and coach but it is apparently very important (I even remember things with Rodgers weren't great when LaFleur first went to GB but they got it worked out).
