Matthew Stafford won't let early errors stop him from breaking more Rams records

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has continued dominate into his late thirties, and he can still sling it at age 38. In Week 3, he became the only quarterback to accumulate more than 20,000 passing yards for two different teams, the Rams and the Detroit Lions.

Of course, let's not pretend that Stafford is sizzling this season. He's not. After limiting his interceptions to just eight in each of the past two seasons, he has already tossed six in four games. He continues to throw pick-sixes, 33 so far in his career - the most ever in that dubious category.

But despite an inconsistent start, he may just be starting his climb in the Rams' record books.

Stafford has already slung the football for nearly 1200 yards in four games, catapulting him to fourth place among Rams career passing leaders. He's only 3,162 yards from topping Jim Everett on the team's all-time list. At his current pace, he would only need 11 more games to set the record, and only eight more passing touchdowns for the most in Rams history.

Matthew Stafford fits Rams offense to a tee

One of Sean McVay's pet peeves is a quarterback who hesitates. He has engineered a quarterback-friendly offense that has all the bells and whistles. But it depends entirely on a passer who can process the defense quickly, make the right decisions quickly, improvise, and even take some chances.

Stafford checks every box.

Despite throwing as many interceptions as touchdowns, he continues to get McVay's seal of approval because he makes this offense purr like a high-performance engine. Even when he makes huge mistakes, he simply reloads and tries again.

McVay does not like turnovers. Obviously. But he loves Stafford's ability to collect his thoughts and author fourth-quarter comebacks. Every quarterback throws interceptions. Only a handful can be trusted to lead a game-winning drive as time runs out.

The Buffalo Bills are rightfully proud of their own quarterback, Josh Allen. But they don't enjoy an advantage, or at least much of one, at the position in Week 5 against the Rams. Stafford's struggles haven't stopped him breaking franchise records. And when he finally turns the corner and starts zinging it as he did last season, look out.

As always, thanks for reading.
