Stafford received a C- grade; last year's MVP, like the rest of the offense, is off to a slow start in 2026. His seven interceptions are just one short of his total from both 2024 and 2025 combined. Touchdown production is still there, but overall things haven't looked the same. As the team gets healthier, improvement is expected, but this has been an uncharacteristically slow start.NegativeProjectionOct 27, 2026

Stafford looks past his prime heading into the 2024 season, creating a bigger concern for the Rams' offense alongside aging receiver Davante Adams. Combined with Myles Garrett's injury and Aaron Donald's post-retirement decline, the Rams' window is closing in an ugly way and they are unlikely to make the playoffs.PositiveProjectionSep 11, 2026

Lester Wiltfong Jr. predicts Matthew Stafford will win 2026 MVP going back-to-back, with the Los Angeles Rams winning the NFC West.

Rams QB in potential final season; central to team's win-now window and Super Bowl aspirations. The source questions: 'Will going all-in once again pay off for the Rams in what could be one of Matthew Stafford's final seasons?' GM Les Snead has committed to aggressive roster moves (Myles Garrett trade, Aaron Donald return) to maximize this window.NegativeValueJul 25, 2026
