Re: one thing about the stats comparison

The stats comparison that was given is for the last 3 years and it looks close.

What really helps Matt Stafford in the comparison, is including 2021, because it was Stafford's best year of the 3, by far, and Goff's worst, by far.

In 2021, Stafford was on a Superbowl team, the Lions were just beginning a rebuild.

But if you look at production AND quality after 21, you get a much more dramatic difference.

Looking at 2022 and 2023 combined we get this per statmuse: https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-passing-yards-leaders-2022-to-2023




(sorry it's blurry, your eyes aren't going bad. If you click on it, you get a clearer picture.)

To those who say Goff played 10 more games than Stafford, two things -

A - the number of games played should not affect the qualitative differences.
B - playing more games is a good thing, not an excuse. Availability is the best ability

In 22 and 23 combined Goff has: a better comp %, a better YPA, a better TD %, a better Int %, and, given all that, a better passer rating.

The argument that Stafford has more talent, especially in his prime, than Goff, can continue.

The argument over which one is playing better QB in the present is OVER.
