NFL Network’s Kurt Warner on Rams QB Matthew Stafford’s MVP-Worthy Season | The Rich Eisen Show

Lastly, Kurt, let’s finish up with Matthew Stafford. I mean, okay, because listen, we’re we’re sitting there, you and I are sitting there in London, okay? We’re getting a set to call Rams Jaguars. We’re talking to Shawn McVey on a Zoom and he tells our group, “Listen, um, we’ve been really pukahheavy and he’s not in this game and it’s kind of a challenge to us to learn how to play without this guy and to be more diverse on offense.” And all Stafford’s done is throw 14 touchdowns in the next three games with no interceptions. Okay, which is, by the way, the first guy to ever do that in three straight games. That many touchdowns and no interceptions. Nobody’s ever done that before. And find seven different receivers for touchdowns. One of them is Puka when he came back. Yeah. I I don’t know. I mean, so mission accomplished, right? They’re a better team maybe because of all that. They look terrific and Stafford’s I’m wondering what goes through your mind. Rams Super Bowl winning quarterback, MVP, watching this guy on on film in this uniform right now. I mean, the first thing that goes through my mind is this guy is just ridiculously talented. Like, you know, I’m just envious of uh, you know, what he can do with a football first and foremost. Um, you know, when we did some of those meetings, remember we Devonte was talking to us and he said, you know, this guy is the best manipulator of defenses that I’ve ever been around. Um, and you see that time and time again. I I don’t know if this is the play, you know, you got that shot up there, but you know, he had a a touchdown pass in the game against the 49ers where it was a naked bootleg and everything was covered and it it looked like he had kind of given up on the play and was ready to to run out of bounds and then the last second he flips it over the top of the defense. He got the defense to kind of suck up, flips it over the top of the defense and throws a touchdown pass. You know, it’s it’s things like that that he does that you’re just like, man, you what’s going through his mind and how is he figuring these things out? Um, and then I think you couple that with Shawn McVey, who I think does a tremendous job of of his creativity of of what he does. Um, you know, I think they could run naked bootlegs um for every single play of the game and they would continually win football games because Sean is so creative. Um, and Matthew is so good at, you know, at running those things and manipulating and finding the right guy. Uh, it’s just it’s a joy to watch right now, you know, the way he’s playing. Um, you know, I think him and Jonathan Taylor have to be right up there as the the two front runners for the MVP right now. Um, you know, putting him with Shawn McVey and then putting him with Hookah uh and Devonte. Um, I mean, it’s almost unfair uh with with what they’re doing, especially when they get tight to the red zone. I mean, what do you want to do? I mean, put Devonte in any one-on-one situation, it’s I mean, give him a slant or or a fade and and it’s hard to stop, you know, Puka, you can flip it to him at any point in time from inside the five and he’ll find a way to get into the end zone. I mean, um, you know, and then the creativity. I just I really enjoy watching them play. I think Matthew’s playing at as high a level as he’s ever played at, which is saying something because we know how good he has been for how long uh, in this business. So, uh, I really think they’re the best team going right now in the NFC, but it starts with coach and quarterback, um, you know, in their bag. Hey, you made it all the way to the end. Thanks for that. Check us out every single day streaming live on Disney Plus and the ESPN app 12 to 3 Eastern.

  1. If he plays well and wins this Sunday that would put him further than anyone else in the mvp race. Hope he does it, no other QB deserves it more than him. Go rams 🐏

  4. I have been complaining for ages that Stafford does not get enough flowers. The man is one of the best pure passers ever (and I grew up a Marino fan so that's saying a lot from me)! The game Sunday is going to be a tough one, call it a coin flip against a very formidable 'Hawks team. LFG!
