Matthew Stafford is 38 and he looked awful in the opener. When Rich Gannon won his first NFL MVP at age 37, like Stafford did last season, he threw only nine touchdowns the rest of his career. The age cliff finds everyone.

Stafford's poor Week 1 performance at 38 raises age-cliff concerns for Rams.

Stafford, 38, looked awful in the Rams' Week 1 opener in Australia. The source draws a historical parallel: when Rich Gannon won his first NFL MVP at age 37 (like Stafford did last season), he threw only nine touchdowns the rest of his career, suggesting the age cliff finds everyone. Combined with Myles Garrett's injury, concerns about Stafford's performance raise questions about the Rams' Super Bowl favorite status.
