After last year, it's surprising Stafford is available this late. Age is a big factor, but Stafford has always been a hard worker in the gym, and he has consulted Tom Brady to generate a quality training regimen. The Rams are an elite offense that's balanced, on the cutting edge of testing defenses, and Stafford has lost little as a thrower, which means his arm is still better than most.

Stafford's late availability is surprising given elite Rams offense and arm talent.

The Rams are an elite, balanced offense on the cutting edge of testing defenses, and Stafford has lost little as a thrower—his arm is still better than most. Few trap doors with his game this year.
