Last season's splits for Stafford were the same: Shotgun: 66%, Play Action: 34%. But there are KEY differences, not just in stats (Stafford completed 68% of his throws and 8.4 Y/A out of play action)

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Stafford's play-action efficiency (68%, 8.4 Y/A) far exceeds Bennett's.

Stafford's formation splits last season: 66% shotgun, 34% play action. On play action, Stafford completed 68% of throws and averaged 8.4 Y/A, running more complex reads downfield (e.g., 30 yards to Puka Nacua) compared to Bennett's simple rollout designs. The source notes Sean McVay must answer how good an offense he can build around Bennett when he built the team for Stafford.
