Ramalytics: This draft QB compares stylistically to Matthew Stafford

You have to take the good with the bad when it comes to Matthew Stafford. When healthy he will often rank towards the top of the NFL in both big-time throws (BTT) and turnover-worthy plays (TWP), according to Pro Football Focus (PFF).

In 2024—a relative down year for the veteran—Stafford finished 10th in BTT’s with 26 (4.2%) and second behind only Sam Darnold in TWP’s with 25 (3.7%).

Going back to 2023, Stafford ranked 3rd with 37 BTT’s (6.3%) and as far down as 25th on the turnover front with 12 TWP’s (1.9%). This is probably the best season Stafford has put on tape to date, and he played a key role in leading a young Los Angeles Rams roster to the playoffs.
