Warner was a bit like that too. More than a bit, actually. He'de go on an interception streak and then end it, like a perimeter shooter whose shots start falling in.
Both he an Stafford are gunslingers, accurate, and built to attack a defense. Not just once, but relentlessly. Stafford of the two tends to force things, I thinkl, probablydue to having to force everything when he was with the Lions. Every game was on him.
I think we'd see less of it if he knew he could rely on the run to get yards that would take the pressure off. But I hope in never goes entirely away - just de-tune it a wee bit; maybe for one throw per game.
When he's up, and he's still up at the end of a game were he's not being beat to a pulp, he can slice a worn-down defense to ribbons. See f'rinstance the last scoring drive in the Super Bowl.
