From the episode

Stafford completed 11 of 12 passes between the numbers. But outside the numbers, he was like four of 11. ... Stafford doesn't sneak in part because Stafford doesn't want to and can't. He's old. He's too old. What do you have? He has back problems.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Stafford struggled outside the numbers and is not a viable sneak option.

Matthew Stafford looked rusty in the season opener, particularly struggling outside the numbers (4-of-11) while completing 11-of-12 passes between the numbers. The source notes he is not a viable option for quarterback sneaks due to age and back issues.
