But that’s the problem. Goff was a “good” QB in McVays system. Stafford was supposed to elevate it because he was supposed to be better than good.
I don't think Goff was 'good', but rather McVay could work with him. Stafford brings a whole other element to the offense.
Sure he's on a 2 game slump, but 6 of the 10 games he's had a passer rating above 100 and on the season he has the highest QB Rating and 2nd highest QBR of his career. If we are doing the Goff comparisons look at him with Detroit and compare that to any of the Stafford seasons. There's a massive difference.
I'd add in this season NFL fans really seem to be jumping all in on any recency bias. I think it's a combo of us not having a stand out, undefeated team and some of the historically terrible teams are picking off wins and actually looking good. Up until this past Sunday some were saying the Chiefs were 'figured out'. The truth is these slumps happen to all teams at all positions, so it's nothing new. I'd classify Stafford's past two games as a 'slump' and not an indicator of him being anything less than a top tier QB.
