From the episode

For Stafford, it's like he wants to play football too much, where he wants to just hang in there and make the throw... Bo Nix is the complete opposite, where he just, like, does not want to do anything but get the ball out of his hands.
Mentioned at 36:09 – 36:25

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Stafford holds the ball to make plays, unlike the quick-releasing Bo Nix.

Matthew Stafford tends to hold onto the ball too long when pressured because he wants to make the play, which contrasts sharply with Bo Nix's tendency to get the ball out quickly.
