From the article

Stafford's season has been fine, but it has vibes quite similar to Tom Brady's final season in Tampa. The numbers are down across the board. They're still good, but not MVP-level like last year, and you have to wonder if this might be Father Time knocking at the door.

Stafford's decline mirrors Brady's final year; Father Time knocking.

Stafford ranks #10 midseason with a season Father Time describes as fine but reminiscent of Tom Brady's final Tampa season. Numbers are down across the board—still good but not MVP-level like last year—raising questions about Father Time catching up to him.
