As lauded as Stafford has been, he’s 1-2 against good teams this year while just getting waxed by SF and he’s played poorly in all 3 losses. The one win was against the Tampa team that just lost to WFT but since it was Brady people put Stafford on a pedestal.

I think it's more that it was the defending SB champs who had a great D on paper. Bucs D has turned out to actually suck this year as offenses figured them out and with some injuries but at the time of that game, the Rams more or less crushing them was pretty significant.

 

Haven't watched the Rams or Stafford that much this year so can't speak to their losses or how he's played, but in general watching Stafford with the Lions I think he's definitely a legit 2nd tier franchise QB. He carried that Lions team for a decade with literally nothing around him on either side of the ball except Calvin Johnson for part of it. The Rams have depth issues throughout their team. Not surprising when they trade all their draft picks for big names and not all of them meet expectations. Stafford should have them contending more seriously than Goff did but he was never going to solve all their problems. People heap praise on the Rams for their aggressiveness and adding all these big names but I've never been sold on that strategy. Having quality starters and depth pieces on rookie deals is absolutely critical to building a successful team in the salary cap era. They don't really have that, and while McVay is a good coach he can only do so much with a handful of superstars and nothing behind them.

it did look like he was just jogging until he saw the ball was gonna be intercepted, but I couldn't really tell for sure if it was quitting on the route or if the ball went very far from where he expected

Yeah, looked like he headed to the sideline expecting it to be thrown there, then starting jogging trying to figure out where the ball was actually going. Think they just weren't on the same page on that one.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
