From the article

Stafford lost 42.15 expected points added to drops, the fifth-highest total in the league, according to FTN 2025 Charting data. That figure ranks Stafford behind only Dak Prescott (70.15), Lawrence (67.58), Jared Goff (66.7), and Cam Ward (56.8) -- and ahead of far more turnover-prone or lower-efficiency passers.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stafford lost 42.15 EPA to drops; his QB2 finish could have been higher.

Stafford lost 42.15 expected points added to drops in 2025, the fifth-highest total in the league per FTN Charting data. He ranked behind only Dak Prescott (70.15), Trevor Lawrence (67.58), Jared Goff (66.7), and Cam Ward (56.8). Had even half of those drops been secured, his already top-five efficiency numbers would have been even more dominant, suggesting his 2025 production was constrained by receiver execution rather than his own performance.
