One of the things I'm most curious about is how different will Stafford look? It is my impression that what he was doing in Detroit was based on his receivers winning one-on-one situations or 50/50 balls. I don't know if that's the reality though. But for whatever reasons, I will not be surprised if we see Stafford have the same kind of jump in efficiency and production that Goff had when he went from the Fisher offense to the McVay offense. Perhaps not as drastic an improvement, but still, a play-action, scheme based production offense seems like a potential boon for Stafford.
I worry about him forcing things and playing hero ball but I hope that the last few years are an indicator that he can be more efficient if given the opportunity with scheme and coaching.
Here is an article that primarily focuses on Goff but does mention Stafford as the most "aggressive" qb in 2019 because his WRs had the least separation per next gen stats which uses tracking chips in jerseys.
https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/02/lions-jared-goff-passing-aggression-rating-next-gen-stats-air-yards/The Lions ranked near the bottom in separation, which helps explain how Stafford led the NFL in aggressive throw percentage (23.4) in 2019.Edited 1 time(s).
