From the article

Stafford once threw for 520 yards as a member of the Lions in the 2011 regular season finale against the Packers at Lambeau Field... It's unlikely that he'll break the record, as he plays in a more balanced offense that doesn't ask him to pass a ludicrous amount.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford's 520-yard history unlikely to repeat; Rams' balanced offense limits record-breaking potential.

Stafford is unlikely to break Van Brocklin's 554-yard record despite being the closest option to home. He threw for 520 yards as a member of the Lions in the 2011 regular season finale against the Packers at Lambeau Field, proving he's capable of elite passing performances. However, with the Rams he's thrown for at least 450 yards only once (against the Seahawks late last season), and he plays in a more balanced offense that doesn't ask him to pass a ludicrous amount. The source notes never say never given his twice-yearly matchups against the Cardinals.
