This game Stafford really reminded me of John Elway. Instead of just taking what the defense would give, he kept trying to play hero ball. That's what used to frustrate me with Goff. As someone already point out, Stafford is developing Kupp tunnel vision, which is maddening. This offense is LOADED with personnel and opportunities and it's a waste for Stafford to key in on just one guy so often. Kupp, just like any of the other receivers, should be targeted because of scheme and mismatch. If Stafford is just going to force it to him, then Stafford is no better than most QB's.Quote

The bottom line is this. The book on Stafford is:
Toughness
Athletic
Competitive
Good Arm
But accuracy is questionable. He has to find a way when he isn't on his best game to make plays. In today's NFL, especially the way this Rams defense is heading, you have to sometimes match the opponent bullet for bullet and you just can't do it with the 3 yards and cloud of dust approach to stay up with a team like the Cardinals. Either Stafford can pull it off 3 times in the playoffs where he is on or we are not winning a superboal so we might as well see how he can fight back from adversity on days he doesn't have his best stuff.
I know this: You don't win at the first time of trouble, waiving the white flag and putting your best offensive player in the deep freeze because they are covering him closer. I am not saying Kupp has to get every look, but he should get the majority of them.

was Kupp open deep in the 2nd half | Rams_81 | 184 | October 04, 2021 09:20AM |
IMO he was in a lot of double coverage deals and Matthew was trying to get it into a very small window.... | roman18 | 82 | October 04, 2021 09:29AM |
While I appreciate diversity and keeping defenses guessing | Rams_81 | 92 | October 04, 2021 08:52AM |
IMO if anything they should have stayed more with the run.... | roman18 | 113 | October 04, 2021 09:23AM |
