It's crazy how this has become a thing.
I don't even know if this was really a bad game. Certainly not one of his better games but he didn't wilt. I am not sure why there is so much focus on the negative with him. It's like whenever he misses a throw some are waiting to say "SEE I TOLD YOU!"... It's like its become political...
Every QB has bad games during a season. So why Stafford isn't allowed to is mind boggling. Why ignore the freakin' great stuff he does... and he does a lot of special things. Would the Rams be a .500 team without him?
I don't think he is the best QB in the league. He just has to be better than what the Rams had and he is by a significant margin. It's a shame that it's SB or bust because this has been a great season for the Rams and a great season for Stafford.
If he doesn't throw the boneheaded pick I doubt there would be much discussion about his overall play in the game. Hopefully he can come to his senses in those moments and just take the sack.
I noticed him holding his hand after the QB sneak for what its worth. But he made some fantastic throws later in the game so I doubt it was an issue.
