New York Giants<\/a> offensive line. It\u2019s a smart move,\u201d Cowherd said Wednesday. \u201cI\u2019ve always had this theory that if Matt Stafford gets to another Super Bowl and wins \u2013 and I do think there\u2019s about six teams that could do it, and the Rams are one of them \u2013 I think Stafford will be viewed historically better than Aaron Rodgers. So if you look at Aaron against Matt Stafford since the 2021 playoffs just go look at the numbers here. Matt has become a much better playoff quarterback. They both have a Super Bowl. Matt was better than Aaron in high school, college, and the first four years in the NFL. And he\u2019s been better the last four years.\u201d<\/p>\nRodgers has about 3,000 more passing yards than Stafford in his career and 136 more touchdown passes, so while Stafford has a chance to catch Rodgers in passing yards, he\u2019ll have a hard time eclipsing his 503 touchdown passes \u2013 especially if Rodgers keeps playing.<\/p>\n

They both have one Super Bowl ring as of now but Rodgers has 10 Pro Bowls, five All-Pro selections and four MVPs. Stafford has made two Pro Bowls and no All-Pro teams.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re basing their careers on the likelihood of making the Hall of Fame, it\u2019s not particularly close because Rodgers is a first-ballot guy and Stafford is a fringe candidate. But if Stafford wins another ring and becomes one of just 19 quarterbacks to have multiple championships, it\u2019ll strengthen his case significantly.<\/p>\n
