Matthew Stafford finally sees reward in the NFL

Mexico City

Before the 2021-22 season, when searching for “high effort, low reward quarterback” on the internet, the image of matthew Stafford was the immediate answer.

Not only that, but Matt’s hard work and little reward, in terms of wins, playoff games and championships, had him as one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the league. NFL.

But all that changed the moment he signed a contract with the Rams this year. The Angels, despite the skepticism of Los Angeles fans, who did not believe that Stafford had the ability to return the team to a second Super Bowl in four years. How wrong they were.

Matt took the starring role on a team packed with talent and today has the Rams installed in Super Bowl LVI, which they will play at home, although on paper it will be the Cincinnati Bengals who serve as the home team.

With his appearance in a Super Bowl, the former QB of the Detroit Lions will put an end to an infamous record that has haunted him for some years: Stafford is the quarterback with the most passing yards (49,995) and the most touchdown passes ( 323) in the regular season who hasn’t played a game for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

On Feb. 13, the 33-year-old will finally be able to boast that he’s at least played in one Super Bowl.

And if he were to win it, it would certainly put his name up as a real candidate for the Football Hall of Fame.

In all, there are 8 quarterbacks with 50,000+ passing yards and at least one Big Game appearance: Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers and John Elway.

Of them, Peyton, Brett and John are already in Canton, while Tom, Drew, Ben and Aaron have a guaranteed place. The only question is Eli, whose absence from the HOF would be a rarity.

So basically Stafford would put his name next to these luminaries of the NFL and, therefore, his place as a serious candidate for immortality would be more than assured.
