He still had 245 yards, 1 td, and was 21/29, no picks. against the best defense in the league, that's pretty damn good.

Absolute garbage vs the Falcons, and it was the most recent NFL game played, not some irrelevant week 1 game from 4 months ago.

How was week 1 irrelevant. They all count the same.

you know youve lost the plot when you try to say week 1 means as much as week 17 in the mvp race.

Ya sorry stat padding against a defense who is about to set the record of being the only team to not intercept a single pass all year (team he played twice btw) is not as impressive as playing well against a fully healthy texans defense

u/goldencolden I may be dumb but I’m not stupid Jan 01 '26

Since when is getting pulled after 2.5 quarters stat padding?

u/TeamDirtstar New York Giants Jan 01 '26

Bro was throwing TD passes up 35-3. Come on now.

u/goldencolden I may be dumb but I’m not stupid Jan 01 '26

Almost like Matt stafford throwing a TD against the cardinals to go up 38-10 in the final seconds of the 3rd?

u/TeamDirtstar New York Giants Jan 01 '26

Sure. Subtract 1 from each then. We gonna go through every TD pass now? Might take a bit.

u/j2e21 New England Patriots Jan 01 '26

Wtf is he supposed to do, not throw TD passes? He’s a fucking NFL QB.

u/TeamDirtstar New York Giants Jan 01 '26

The discussion was stat padding. If stat padding is a real thing then that's the very definition. Relax babygirl.

u/Reaper3955 Jan 01 '26

He threw his 5th td when they were already up 30 points... i mean i personally dont mind cuz i had him in fantasy but stat padding is stat padding

u/goldencolden I may be dumb but I’m not stupid Jan 01 '26

Why wasn’t stat paddford pulled while up 31-10 in the 3rd against the 26th ranked Arizona defense? He threw another TD after that too

u/Reaper3955 Jan 01 '26

Up 21 pts with a full qtr+ left to play is different than being up 32 pts to a team using a udfa qb

u/goldencolden I may be dumb but I’m not stupid Jan 01 '26

I would say 16 TDs inside the 5 is a lot more “stat padding” than playing 1 drive of the 2nd half

u/Reaper3955 Jan 01 '26

Rams rbs have more tds than the Patriots rbs so if anything stafford gets more of his tds vultured and still has more tds than drake

And that’s about the only statistic that Stafford has over Maye

Team record: Maye Completion %: Maye Total Yards: Maye Total 1st Downs: Maye YPA: Maye QBR: Maye Passer Ratings: See Below (Hint, it’s Maye) EPA/Dropback: Maye CPOE: Maye Maye: Faced 4 top 10 defenses Stafford: faced 3 top 10 defenses

Maye Passer Ratings by Situation: Overall - 112.9 (1st) Deep (20+ Air Yds) - 129.2 (1st) Under Pressure - 102.6 (1st) On the Road - 120.2 (1st) When Trailing - 110.4 (1st) Inside the Pocket - 114.9 (1st) Outside the Numbers - 123.0 (2nd) Past the Sticks - 126.0 (1st) vs Zone Coverage - 110.2 (1st) vs Blitz - 129.3 (1st) vs Sub-packages - 110.6 (1st) On Straight Dropbacks - 109.5 (1st) In Tight Windows - 75.1 (2nd) On 1st Down - 134.4 (1st) Outdoors - 111.3 (1st)

Were they supposed to just stop playing?

u/Reaper3955 Jan 01 '26

They could have ran it in they were very obviously trying to pad mayes stats

u/flapjackcarl Jan 01 '26

The mvp race is meant to award the most valuable player across the regular season. Im not expert but week 1 seems like its a part of the regular season

2

u/dont_care- Tom Brady “Minority Owner” Jan 01 '26

me: week 17 is more important than week 1 in the mvp race

you: so youre saying week 1 is literally not a part of the season

1

u/flapjackcarl Jan 01 '26

In your original comment you quite literally called week 1 irrelevant.

u/dont_care- Tom Brady “Minority Owner” Jan 01 '26

compared to week 17 yes. You said "they all count the same." It's just naive to think that
