From the article

Stafford is a 38-year-old pocket passer who defied the odds last season, finishing as the QB5 in FPPG on the back of 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. That touchdown total was more than he had accumulated the two previous seasons combined when he was the QB20 and QB28, respectively. The Rams are a true Super Bowl contender and should have plenty of opportunity to run up the score on opponents this year thanks to a stacked roster, but Stafford has only thrown more than 32 TDs twice in his career and it's a risky game to expect elite totals from older passers year after year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Stafford's 46 TDs likely unsustainable for 38-year-old pocket passer; fade.

Stafford finished as QB5 in FPPG last season on the back of 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. However, that 46 TD total was more than he accumulated in the two previous seasons combined when he was QB20 and QB28. At 38 years old, Stafford has only thrown more than 32 TDs twice in his career, making it a risky game to expect elite totals from older passers year after year.
