STACKED’s take

Stafford played all 17 games and won MVP after missing all preseason with back injury.

Stafford did not take a single training camp, preseason, or practice snap last year while dealing with a herniated disc in his lower back, despite some experts predicting he would not be ready for the regular season or might never play again. He ultimately played all 17 games, delivered arguably the finest season of his 17-year career, and won the NFL MVP award, providing precedent for McVay's cautious approach with injured star players in August.
