The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny on Matthew Stafford

Stafford's 300 yards on 15% pressure rate confirms he's elite when kept clean.

Stafford threw for 300 yards while being pressured on just 15% of dropbacks (2-for-4 for 25 yards on pressured plays), benefiting from the Rams' dominant run game and clean pocket. Mina Kimes' thesis is that Stafford remains one of the best quarterbacks in football as long as he stays clean; however, his efficiency drops significantly when facing teams that can pressure him, as will be tested against Denver next week. She also noted his tendency to force unnecessary throws late in the first half, suggesting he needs to trust the running game more.
