With this trade, the Colts would be starting Stafford in 2021 instead of Wentz, playing for Frank Reich. Stafford would be paired with the NFL's leading rusher that season, Jonathan Taylor. His top receiver would be Michael Pittman.

Stafford's 2021 Colts scenario: paired with Taylor and Pittman, could've won two more games than Wentz.

In a 2021 alternate scenario, Stafford would have been paired with Jonathan Taylor (the NFL's leading rusher that season) and Michael Pittman as his top receiver in Frank Reich's Colts offense. The source suggests Stafford's superior play over Carson Wentz could have yielded at least two additional wins, potentially securing a wild card playoff spot for Indianapolis (which finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs). Stafford's deep passing attack was critical to the Rams' 2021 Super Bowl run, including three late heroic drives in the postseason.
