After taking a beating and sacrificing his body in Detroit for 10 plus years it’s nice to see Matt with a chance to end his career with a team that has a chance to go deep into the playoffs.
Given, yesterdays Rams win was fugly, still I can’t help but root for the guy.
I will never not be confused to why people would find so much joy in watching people who couldn’t succeed for their own club succeed for another.
And before somebody chimes in with a ‘why be so negative and begrudge Matt his success,’ the answer is simply: because it would be better for my team if he didn’t. Especially yesterday, against an AFC team.
I could probably just ignore it, but it seems like some of you just can’t let go of your Stafford obsession, and have to post something every time he wins a game. Trust me, after the first Rams loss, I won’t be on here talking about it, unless it happens to be the game they play against the Lions.
Like, in a psychological way? Probably, but then again the majority of people won’t care. I am confident in saying the success or failure of Herschel Walker meant close to nothing for most Cowboy fans after he was traded in the long term.
But in a purely cold and analytical way: higher draft pick= better chance of success. I do believe that, in myriad ways.
Stafford has looked legit so far. It’ll be interesting to see if he can sustain it. He’s had hot streaks in Detroit before cooling off as well, and his body has been breaking down the last couple years. To be clear I’m rooting for him, but I’m genuinely curious to see how things shake out
Well that trade with Herschel Walker was more about how the Cowboys hit on almost every pick in that trade. I certainly hope the Lions can do that with 4 first rounders coming in the next two years.
Good for him. Still have no interest in rooting for the Rams but am resigned to them being pretty good this season even in that juggernaut division so the pick will likely be 25 or lower.
Poor Matt Stafford is like football Jesus…lost, wandering in the NFL wildrness for 12 years, only to be hoisted and made to suffer on a football cross and reborn in all His football savior glory…lay down your crown of thorns Matt, thou hath been reborn!!
