The Los Angeles Rams fell just short of a Super Bowl appearance this season, falling to the Seattle Seahawks in the conference championship. The loss stings more after the otherworldly performance of quarterback Matthew Stafford this season, which has him as the frontrunner for this year\u2019s MVP.<\/p>\n
Many are wondering if the veteran will retire after the season, and now, Stafford has officially announced how he plans to handle the looming decision on whether or not to call it a career.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll be taking his time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll be a lot that goes into it,\u201d Stafford told Jim Gray during an appearance on a SiriusXM podcast episode of \u201cLet\u2019s Go!\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a physical, a mental and emotional decision, a personal and a family decision as well. So, we\u2019ll figure all that kind of stuff out with some time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I had a ton of fun playing football this season and had so much fun playing for the Rams. So when I\u2019m ready to figure that out, I\u2019ll be ready to figure that out. That moment isn\u2019t right now. I have so much more time, I feel like, to reflect on just the people and the season that we just had. I want to appreciate that and give it the time that it deserves before I start thinking personally about what\u2019s next for me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sean McVay\u2019s take on the matter<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was asked about whether he expected Stafford back, and it\u2019s safe to say he didn\u2019t appreciate the question.<\/p>\n
