He was the primary reason the Los Angeles Rams mustered only seven points in a stunning Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers... We can also assume the potential of significant decline until he shows otherwise.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford's Week 1 collapse (7 points) signals potential MVP-season regression; benching precedent looms.

Stafford collapsed in Week 1 with only 7 points in a loss to the 49ers, marking a stunning regression from his MVP season. The source notes that while regression from his late-30s MVP heights was expected, a total collapse was not. Without preseason data, the burden of proof that this was an isolated bad game rests on Stafford's shoulders; significant decline must be assumed until he shows otherwise. The source draws a parallel to Peyton Manning's 2015 benching around Week 10 after injuries and lost arm strength, suggesting the Rams may explore alternatives if Stafford continues to struggle.
