STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Stafford's 2025 mirrors his baseline; MVP season was scheme-dependent on Adams and Nacua.

Stafford's 2025 season mirrors his 2022-2024 baseline: 4% TD rate, 2% INT rate, 7.3 Y/A (averaging 23 TDs and 11 INTs per season). Last season's MVP-caliber performance (46 TDs, 7.7% TD rate, 8.8 Y/A) was driven by Sean McVay's goal-line pass-heavy scheme with Davante Adams and Puka Nacua; without Adams (out 6-10 weeks) and with Nacua missing games, Stafford has reverted to his historical norm. The source characterizes him as good but not elite, preferable to most QBs but dependent on receiver talent and McVay's scheme design.
