Richard Sherman on Matthew Stafford’s HOF case

[Deus]

This just means 2 time Super Bowl MVP Eli(te) Manning is a Hall of Famer

He's really only played 10 full seasons. Now he's on a much better team and there are 17 games. He had 41 TDs in this, his first season in McVay's offense and having to deal with losing Robert Woods and building chemistry with Odell which coincided with a mid-season slump in his performance. He might have a better regular season next year and throw for more than 41.

Obviously the future is unknown, he might get injured, his play might fall off a cliff, but it wouldn't be that surprising if he stays healthy and his TD totals over the next 5 years goes something like 44, 38, 35, 32, 30 which would average 36 per year and still allow for a significant decline by the time he's 38.

It's not impossible, but this Rams team has a lot of question marks going forward. Whitworth retiring, Donald and McVay flirting with retirment, IF ODB comes back, two wrs coming off ACL injuries, no 1st round draft picks for the forseeable future etc. Personally I'm taking the under on him averaging 36TDs for the next 5 years, but we'll see what happens.

And yet across sports players get compared regardless of these eras.

And I never said they aren't. Are you just trying to debate for the sake of it?

 

[Ozymandeas]

Exactly and Stafford was never that

To be fair, Stafford has the numbers. He was on the trash ass Lions for his career. Had he been on the Rams from the start, his career might be perceived differently.

Are you? I'm not the one downplaying modern QB play under the guise of "context".

What hinders that argument is Burrow with the Bengals this season. Horrid franchise that succeeded

He had megatron who helped him pad his stats.

Hall of very good IMO, but he could change the narrative.

How many other Hall of Fame QB's had HOF receivers or elite pass catchers just like Stafford?

He's going to the Hall

 

[the next guy]

If he wins again he's going in.

 

[Mike Wins]

One of the most overrated of this era

Philip Rivers with better luck

 

[BucciMane]

I don’t think he’s a HOF QB. However, I think it’s likely he gets in.

He’s the one QB that you always hear other players bring up when talking about top QB’s and QB’s with great physical tools outside of the top four in the NFL. Seems like his peers respect him a lot more than those not in the league.

 

[feelosofer]

You know what's crazy even taking the SB out of the picture. Matt Stafford as an older more experienced QB has strengthened his case imo. Like as more of a game manager his efficiency numbers have mitigated his earlier turnover issue. Long story short had Stafford spent his earlier career on a more stable franchise we are not even having this conversation.

 

[mvp_status]

Didn't realize Stafford only made 2 Pro Bowls in his career, even Eli has more than that

 

[CHICAGO]

How many other Hall of Fame QB's had HOF receivers or elite pass catchers just like Stafford?

He's going to the Hall

2 PRO BOWLS IN 16 YEARS

IF HE GOES TO THE HOF
A LOT OF PPL HAVE TO BE PUT IN
