Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
Bottom post of the previous page:
More team wins by the Patriots. MVP isn’t “best player”, it’s most valuable. And voters probably look at the Rams as a pretty good team even without Stafford. Take Maye off the Patriots and where are they?
Patriots have been 4-12 the last 2 seasons. This year 13-3 it’s def gonna play a factor.
How many QBs get MVP of Wild Card teams?
I thought Stafford had it locked up based on stats but after last night I doubt he wins.

In what world is Stafford NOT the MVP? He leads in yards, TD's and QB rating. The 40-5 TD to int ratio is enough to win it right there but he also leads in those other categories and set a few NFL records. He broke Tom Brady's record of most TD's without throwing a pick and the Rams were the first team to clinch a playoff spot in the NFC. He might break another NFL record against Atlanta but we'll have to wait and see.
There really is no competition or mystery as to who the MVP is and it's our very own number 9.
.... and Vegas agrees.
I really only follow Vegas picks... I just will never trust some 'expert talking head'... Those morons get paid to make stir and make crap up for clicks / views...
but not Vegas.. as the old saying goes... Follow the money.

I'll say it again they played the easiest schedule of any NFL team in 25 years. Let that sink in.
2 Dolphins, 2 Jets, Titans, Giants, Raiders, Browns, Saints (old QB), Falcons, Bengals (no Burrows), Ravens (hurt Lamar), Bucs (decimated by injuries), Buff (1 and 1) and Steelers doesn't get any easier than that Buffalo was literally their only 2 tough games.

I am a lot less interested in MVP than I am playing well and going to SB. What would you rather have SB or MVP?

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
Just a dumb move. EJ is one of the best coverage LBs in football. I like Nate but he isn't a complete LB like Jones and has been leaking oil as a run stopper lately.ocram23 wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2026, 8:22 amthe EJ story is a head scratcherDVA_ram33 wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2026, 1:18 am Earnest Jones predicted as All pro by ESPN..

It had to be something with EJ. Even the rest of the NFl didn't think much of him. All they are offered was a 6th. If the rest of the NFL knew that EJ would be this good. They would have been banging down the Rams door offering a 2nd at least.

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
Yes. It likely did. Bill Simmons was crying about it on his pod. Stafford didn’t play well but I’m sorry, throwing 5 TDs against the corpse of Jets means nothing. If Staffod throws 4 TDs against garbage AZ tomorrow will that matter? No.
Sucks because Maye will likely have other cracks at it and it’s Stafford’s last chance at it likely.
New England’s schedule one of softest in langue history. But Maye has a higher QBR and rating right now so hard to justify Stafford.

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
No it doesn’t. Rams being a 5th or 6th seed and Pats a 1 or most likely 2 doesn’t help. Stafford didn’t played well against Carolina or Atl.

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
He was a free agent though at the end of the year. Most teams aren’t gonna trade any assets in that situation,Cornell29 wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2026, 10:49 amJust a dumb move.

It’s was just supremely dumb by the Rams to take a 6th round pick when they would have gotten probably a supplemental 3rd for him signing with another team in free agency.

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
4707 Yards, 46 TD's, 8 INT's <------ Does the Rams Offense perform like it has and do the Rams Go 12-5 W/O him?
Because the Rams Offense has been what's carried them. They've covered for the other 2 phases almost all year. Would they have w/o Staff?
Maye and the Pats. I don't believe that's the case there. Their Offense has been good and he's been like fundamentally sound like Darnold, but the Pats have gotten better from their D and ST's.

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
Staffords vegas Odds make him the betting favorite again and that is with no more games to be played to change votes.... If he wins it and goes to another sb he is a first ballot HoF If he wins SB and wins MVP he may move up to top 5 QB all time

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
I’m being sarcastic. Because everyone gave Maye the MVP because he had 5 TDs vs the Jets. Who also gave up 4 to Trubisky.GSOT89 wrote: ↑January 4th, 2026, 6:25 pmit is how he led them down 20-16. 3 straight touchdown drives to end the gameSoCalRam78 wrote: ↑January 4th, 2026, 6:09 pm Stafford had a nice pad stat game against a dreg.

Re: Will epic Ram choke cost Matt Stafford MVP?
The thing is (and I didn't know that) maye has like 400 yards rushing, Stafford has -1 lol. Maye also has like 5 rushing tds and Stafford zero. I think that will be taken into consideration.
