There's still risk in Stafford slipping as he enters his age-38 season. After winning MVP, Gannon played only 10 more games across two seasons, throwing nine touchdowns.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford's age-38 season carries decline risk despite MVP-caliber 2025 play.

At age 38, Stafford faces decline risk despite winning MVP last season with 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns. Historical precedent is concerning: Rich Gannon, the previous oldest first-time MVP winner, played only 10 more games across two seasons after his MVP year, throwing nine touchdowns. While Stafford said he had three good seasons left when traded to the Rams in 2021, many great quarterbacks have retired or faded by age 38, and there are no guarantees going forward despite his excellent 2025 performance.
