He could have easily ran the 2 yards for the first down!!
This is the playoffs and you're making $45 million a year, leave everything on the field!!

He’s slow as shit. But yes. That was a joke. Easy first down prob w jimmy g.

Yeah he could have ran up field and dove forward and got it.

he's the easy game MVP, beating the Cardinals in the Saints

Rams need an athletic QB replacement, wish they could get Mendoza, kid looks fantastic, Heisman, will prob win national championship going undefeated at Indiana...destroying Alabama and Oregon, has the height and build like a Brady. his interviews are even better, believes in God.

I would trade up for him.

either way, Rams need a guy who can pickup first downs with his feet and can QB sneak for 1 yard when needed like Hurts, Dart, Allen and many others. 1 dimensional is a freak show in todays athletics .

This is crazy. Please tell us why the Raiders would want to trade their franchise QB? You do realize that's how it works, right? The other team has to want to trade the pick???

Aa for Jaxon Darts style. He had 3 concussions his rookie season. How good do you think that's going to play out.

your jumping to a lot of conclusions , I am not saying we will get Mendzoa, we threw that away with dropping ATL pick from 8-9 to 12-13 and NYG beating Dallas. if NYG was 1 we could probably trade up for it, but either way, just making an example, and Dart has played great, I am talking about actual play, not his late hits on rushing plays, where he should play safe, I was just pointing out his athletic ability similar to Allen is all.

Fair enough. They do need that type of QB, but trading up for FM as you desired, isn't an option

Stafford had a 57.1 % completion rate today.

oh yea that is long gone, Raiders would be absolutely nuts not to take him, it was potentially an option when NYG were still #1 before they decided to blowout the Raiders and Dallas at the end of the year for no reason.

no QB's worth it after him, we have to pick up the best DB or 2 DB's in the first round, I am not against for trading up for Caleb Downs if we have to, he could drop, but doubtful. We obviously need some OL depth, but we dont HAVE to take that in the first round. Maybe another LB/DL and a solid WR because obviously Adams has what?? maybe next year?

We have to be playing a long term game really.. this draft is going to be really interesting, because they need to setup next years draft to very good as well, as well as some free agency splash moves.

Stafford could be done, he could play another 2-3 years... this team is on the cusp of being insanely good, they just need to bring in some studs.. OL or 2 for depth, a different type of RB, bigger and faster.. a star WR opposite Puka and flood the defense with some killers.

Why are any of us shocked? Stafford has NEVER been a runner. Ever. When field had been wide opened, he still doesn’t run.

Guess that’s why he’s still in the league avoiding those hits can hurt

8 for 9 on the last drive with a 149 QB rating. He is ice when it counts.

Could have easily run away with it on Puka’s drop that hit him in the hands. Yes, he struggled some but 34 points is pretty darn good. 300 yards and 3 TDs. Can’t score on every drive contrary to what some people think.

34 and they left a legit 6 minimum on the field.

57.1 % completion rate and a horrible pick and the second pick didn't happen only because Puka saved him . I expect better from the " MVP " .

You know the ball was thrown before Puka turned off the route? It happens sometimes. Puka did make a great play that saved the game. He looked like a MVP to me so we must be watching different players and reading different stat lines.

I will take 40% completion rate as long as we win.

Stafford didn’t have his best game

Glad he’ll get a chance to play better next week though.

I won’t argue that point. Just not going to call him trash.

This^. Thank-you BD……..

And the last drive against Tampa, SF, n Cincy……..

No one better……..

Rams out up 34 against a healthy good Carolina D. The problem is the D and Special teams. The same problem Rams had vs Seattle.

I don’t think he played like trash

Guys throw picks sometimes, it happens,guys miss throws sometimes too,Staffords wideouts could have helped make him look better by catching some very catchable passes,two come immediately to mind Puka for 6 and Adams dropped at least 1 that was right in his gut

Anyway we don’t get where we are without #9 and we don’t win this game without him either

93.8 passer rating for the game

304 yards

3Tds 1 pick

And a 57.1 comp percentage

I’ll take those numbers and a W 3 more times this postseason

Qbr is probably much lower than 94. I think he was off anddidn't play well. Like I said, I expect more. Can't turn the ball over in the playoffs.

That comment was not directed at you. Just in general. Other threads here saying we should get rid of him, Stafford and McVay’s are trash, etc. 34 points and it and we didn’t play our best.

No. Just a general comment toward some other threads.

I see now his QBR was 71

I googled it before and it came up as 93.8

Oh well,we’re stuck with him now

QBR is always lower .. and a mathematics degree away from understanding
