In 2023, Matthew Stafford helped Puka Nacua set the record for most receiving yards for a rookie with 1,486 yards. The source notes that Stafford has been the constant in three separate record-setting seasons for receivers, and that Stafford makes his receivers better. However, ESPN's Bill Barnwell explained that Nacua is a better fit for Sean McVay's offense than he would be for anyone else, suggesting his production may be scheme and quarterback dependent rather than purely talent-driven.
