The first reason the Rams' 2026 season could be a bit disappointing is the age of quarterback Matthew Stafford. He is currently 38 years old. The two most recent examples are Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers. In 2013, Manning was the best quarterback in the league. He threw for a record-breaking 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns with a 115.1 passer rating. That was Manning's age 37 season. Just two years later, he threw for nine touchdowns and 17 interceptions
