ALLEN PARK -- Matthew Stafford has completed only 56.4 percent of his passes over the last month. He also has three interceptions in those games. And five fumbles, three of which he lost.
His passer rating in that span: 79.6.
His passer rating for the season: 89.3. That's 16th in the league, just behind Eli Manning and just ahead of Josh McCown.
That's not good.
And yet, according to one analyst, Stafford is still the second-best quarterback in the league right now. Only Tom Brady is better.
"With Aaron Rodgers shelved, Stafford right now possesses the best arm in football," Sports Illustrated's Andy Benoit wrote in a ranking of the league's best QBs.
