LA Rams Matthew Stafford: Are we having fun yet?

Be happy and amazing things will happen

Have we gotten so wrapped up in the business end of the NFL, that we have forgotten that it’s a game? Is the need to put up statistics for a Fantasy Football league now more important than putting up victory in the win column? It’s a complex issue.

Winning makes everything fun. But is the opposite true? If you are having fun, does that somehow attract a better likelihood of greatness from the Cosmos? Well, if you Google Search “Be happy and amazing things will happen”, you will get over 2 billion results, beginning with countless self-help/self-improvement literature aimed at helping you find success through the power of a smile. It looks like there’s something to that, because Matthew Stafford, in his first week as the quarterback for the LA Rams, won the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Just the second time he’s earned the award, and in just the first week as an LA Rams player, huh? Still familiarizing himself with his teammates, still getting cozy with the playbook, and he knocks it out of the park. So what does that look like on a highlight reel?

So when we chatted about Matthew Stafford throwing for a 5,000-yard season, when we asked if Stafford was the missing link for the LA Rams Super Bowl run, when we asked why nobody was talking about the Stafford effect on the LA Rams receivers, or even when we asked if Matthew Stafford would define his legacy with the LA Rams, apparently we were asking the wrong questions.

It seems now that we should have asked whether veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford would have fun playing for the LA Rams? The answer, of course, is yes.  And if you don’t believe us, just ask his wife.
