The Los Angeles Rams may have the most underrated quarterback in the game. Matthew Stafford is playing the best football of his career, and he’s putting up numbers that could cement his Hall of Fame status.
After a Week 10 victory against the San Francisco 49ers, Stafford finally has a .500 record in the NFL.
“Rams QB Matthew Stafford now has a career record of 115-115-1 as a starter, reaching .500 for the first time in his NFL career. That’s the most career starts before any QB hit .500 for the first time in NFL history. Quite the turnaround,” Ari Meirov wrote on X.

It’s crazy to think that such a talented quarterback had such a poor record. It just goes to show how important it is to be in the right environment.
Stafford started his career with the Detroit Lions and was 74-90-1 with them. Despite the team’s shortcomings, he always put up big numbers and played through injuries.
Unfortunately, it takes much more than an elite wide receiver like Calvin Johnson to win in the National Football League. Stafford had to move on to play more meaningful games.
At least, that also helped his former team. The Lions have made the most of the return they got in trading him, including current QB Jared Goff.
While the Rams won the Super Bowl in Stafford’s first season with the team, the Lions have become contenders as well. Now, it’s only right that he finally has the record that proves he isn’t a losing quarterback.
