Matthew Stafford Mini Movie || Long Journey to the Championship 

It really was. Absolutely legendary

Do you mean the one in the Superbowl?

Definitely!

Magic and Bird, may disagree. Lol.

Man that no look pass to Kupp #10 was right on too. Needed to be perfect and it was! As a fan of showtime in the 80’s (with the Lakers). I would have to say Magic Johnson would be proud of that pass!!!! Whose houuuuuuuse?????

Why do the rams always got the best storyline for QB in their SB wins 😂

Oh this we’ll go down as one of the greatest runs he has cemented himself

He'll be in the HoF regardless.

It could just go down as one of the greatest comeback stories ever

@@victorluna1147 because the Rams are gritty underdogs

He made every receiver better on the Rams. Generational arm talent.

FACTS!

THANK YOU!!!!!!

@@bartondean4260 Wish we had an NFL team in Detroit.

@@bartondean4260 And that is what most impressive. He made Cooper fukn Kupp look BETTER. Unbelievable

Yeah. To bad neither him or Barry Sanders won a playoff game

@@jjb1908 Barry won the last playoff game Detroit has won. Way back in 1991 against Dallas

@@ryanrampage8266 whoops, my bad. It's still sad that Calvin Johnson never did tho

Too bad Johnson and Sanders weren't given the chance to sign elsewhere like Stafford was.

@@moneyflow5766 Barry tried getting out. His agent even had a trade set up with the Miami Dolphins, but the Lions said no. The fact that the Lions refused to give him the chance even somewhere else is unbelievable.

That's because, Stafford's been throwing the no looker when Mahomes was in middle school!

The most under-rated QB in history. Thank God for the trade to LA where he showcased his elite talent on the biggest stage. He is absolutely in my Hall of Fame.

A'Shawn most definitely!!! Didn't hear many folks mentioning him but his play sure was noticed right away by this here Rams lifer! Kudos to them both for winning Super Bowl LVI. I hope your Lions have a winning season in '22

A'shawn Robinson was an absolute wall during the playoffs. That man always found a way to make a play

I feel you. Love the Lions too. Good for Matty. I hope the draft picks pan out for Detroit.

Facts

Why do people say this? You don't need it on ESPN, you have it right here.

That no-look pass was an epic moment in Super bowl history to do it in that final drive with the game on the line

More like top three I mean who does that in the final drive of a Superbowl when the game is on the line that was crazy

@@jarenjackson7139 you're not wrong! We've got the Tyree Helmet catch, Malcolm Butler interception, Von Miller sack of Cam, Philly special, Julian Edelman catch, just to name a few more recent examples as top SB plays. This definitely ranks up there with them!

💯

The last three games, sure, including the Super Bowl, but not every game in the playoffs came down to a game-winning field goal. Don't forget the Rams dominated the Cardinals in the Wildcard round. There were no late game heroics needed in that game.

The last touchdown I scared my wife LOL. Thought to myself this has to be almost as good as watching your team win the bowl. Matt stafford will always be a lion to me.

@@bushonry lol exactly

Hopefully they use those picks to make some changes but it seems to be management as well as a OL and DL issues

Come on over to the Ramily bro. You'd be surprised how quickly you can move on. I was a Lions fan for 35yrs and season ticket holder for the last 14. I left when Stafford left, and this season was everything I dreamed it would be. It's still 'Stafford back to pass...' Same leader, same baller, but with actual results. You know in your heart it's time. Come run it back with us!

You can't say you bleed Honolulu blue and silver, yet think the problem is opening the pocketbook! It's the Fords. Sadly, we will never win with the ownership. I love our Lions, but we have no hope with the Fords. Stafford was obvious proof of that lol

@@MattPawlowski Like I said their pocketbook pulls the strings. Do you think coaches and staff are working for free, do you thing top tier talent don't want to be paid. Scouts out their looking for that talent have to be paid. Yeah, like I said open the books and you'll see who is getting all the money. All other major teams are spending the money.

It was his first year playing for an NFL team

Lions fan-season ticket holder who saw Matt play too many times to count. He wasn't even 'special' for the Rams by Matt's standards of play. That's just how good he is. Y'all keep him healthy with a good team around him and you're SB contenders til he's 40. That thing attached to his right shoulder is mighty rare.

@@Snoil I'm not even a fan of the Rams I know multiple Seahawks fans who are season ticket holders for the Rams I've met them in person

I wouldn't say every year he played. That's hyperbole and you know it. I'd say he really turned a corner once Jim Caldwell became his coach and he became an Elite QB once Johnson retired and he was forced to learn how to spread the ball around. Before that, he was way too turnover-happy to be a Super Bowl winning QB. He'd lock onto Megatron way too much.

@@james_ford86 Megatron didn't play like an elite reciever until Stafford got there. Remember Calvin Johnson was on the Lions 0-16 season, which Matthew Stafford wasn't. The Lions took him #1 overall from Georgia in 2009 because they were coming off their winless year

@@jjb1908 You're an idiot if you believe Calvin Johnson didn't play like an elite WR until Stafford got there.

Yes. That is why I think McVay will be back.

Wouldnt call it a release. LA gave up alot for him. People said early on DET won the trade big time.

The 2nd half of the Tamp Bay game was like watching the lions the way they gave up the lead & the way Stafford led them down the field showed the world what lions fans watched for 12 yrs.

Yeah Detroit won in the trade we won the Superbowl baby!!!!!!

Imagine if Stafford had a back like Marshall Faulk back there.😳

This Rams offense never looked similar to the GSOT. When you comment on the GSOT, you're commenting on an offense that would blow out their opponents in the first quarter scoring 30+ points and never trailing for the rest of the game.

@@BOTzerker How many HOF players in GSOT?

@@JoseNavarro-gd9sb Obviously you never took speech and debate. Your weak comment doesn't provide an argument against mine.

@@BOTzerker Didn't know I was dealing with a master debater with great oral skills.

To be fair, what Burrow accomplished in only his second NFL season is nothing short of IMPRESSIVE. Not many QBs have taken their teams to the Super Bowl that early in their careers, much less won one, and were a MAJOR factor in why their teams got there. Unlike Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger (the last two QBs I can remember who did that), Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase were THE primary reasons the Bengals went from the cellar of the division to playing in a Super Bowl this year. Sure, there were other factors too, as football is a team sport, but without Burrow or Chase, I really don't think the Bengals even make the playoffs this year, much less go to the Super Bowl. So, I can understand why people were talking about it a lot. It's not something you see very often. That said, I called this way before the Super Bowl even got underway. My wife and I were sitting in a restaurant eating dinner. Some other patrons were talking about the playoff games. I asked who won the KC/Cin game. They told me that Cincy had won. I said, "Good. I wanted them to win, and not because I hate KC. I wanted them to win because the team I want to win the Super Bowl will match up better against the Bengals than the Chiefs." They were like, "What do you mean?" I said, "If KC had won and faced the Rams in the Super Bowl, KC would stand a better chance of winning than the Bengals for a couple of reasons. 1. They have several offensive weapons, like Hill, Kelce, and Mahomes can take off and run on you a lot better than Burrow can. They would be a harder matchup defensively for the Rams, due to the injuries in the Rams' secondary. Jalen Ramsey could shut down Hill, maybe, but Kelce will run roughshod through the linebackers and backup safeties and tear them up. If the Rams start devoting more defensive attention to guard both Kelce and Hill, then Mahomes can gash them. 2. With Cincy, their only real threats are Mixon, Chase, and Burrow. I'm confident the Rams' defensive line can shut down Mixon, or at least limit him, while Ramsey can guard Chase. I'm not scared of the Bengals' other receivers, as they don't need to be doubled to slow them down. So, basically, I feel the Rams stand a better chance of winning the Super Bowl against Cincy because they match up with them better than they do KC." Anyone with any football sense could have called that though, as it was fairly obvious. I laid a pretty large bet on the Rams to win it (disregarding the spread), and won a lot of money on it too. Granted, I didn't expect Ramsey to get burned early on, but I had confidence the Rams could still win it. Plus, if the Refs had been doing their jobs on that Higgins OPI non-call, there would have been no need for late-game heroics in the first place. OBJ getting hurt definitely made me a bit nervous, but I was still confident that Stafford could do it based on the decade plus I watched the guy in Detroit. He's always been clutch and anyone who didn't know that before this year is just ignorant.

He had zero Int's in the playoffs & 2 in the superbowl which one was not his fault but the receivers who let it go in & out of his hands & the 55 yard Int with 3 & 14 into the end zone his receiver did not even attempt to make a play on it. But that last drive was special. This last season in the 4th quarter Stafford was 71% completion 14 Td's 0 Int's Only QB in history including playoffs to throw for 50 Td's, 6000 yards & win a superbowl.

@@BBBYpsi yeah two interceptions in the super bowl other than that he played elite. Tom Brady also had 50 touchdowns and won a super bowl Kurt Warner had 49 Steve Young had 44 those are the records

@@jamesredmond6699 not true the year Tom Brady passed for 50 tds he lost the super bowl

@@paulrosenbaum2719 did you not read my post there is two quarterbacks that threw for 50 touchdowns and won a super bowl Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady everybody else lost Kurt Warner through for 49 and won a super bowl Steve Young and Brett favre three for 44 those are the most in super bowl season winning error fact check that

They said that about Aaron Rodgers he's still stuck on 1 not that easy

You only think Rogers is better because that’s what everyone tells you.

@@dennis_burgess no because I lived it for 12 years sorry u wouldn't understand!!! And If u think Stafford better than any #12 u high

@@donbur1553 my boy has a ring the first time he had a competent team AND organization. Aaron Rodgers has 1 ring with 13 years of both. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Rodgers would’ve quit after 5 years in Stafford’s shoes.

@@dennis_burgess now u know Aaron would have quit u talk to him? Man sit yo fake fan boy ass down somewhere Stafford had a #1 defense with suh fairly Slay Megatron tate bush Ebro and a dam good O line in 2014 dam near all in their prime & did nothing u newbies & now he yal boy .. Lmao learn the history cut off ESPN & research before u open ya big mouth

Herbert is a young Stafford

@@tysontigner9820 Herbert is his own man. That dude is going to start whippin defenses in the next couple of years. I’m not even a Chargers fan

Honestly if he stays healthy and they keep him clean back in the pocket then Jefferson ain't no joke and tutu atwell is fast if that kid can keep from getting hurt and then you got woods coming back Odell coming back Cooper cup if they keep everybody they're going to be tough he might shatter all the records too that was his first year with a team you know I mean look what Brady did she threw for 43 touchdowns in the season those are current Warner numbers he threw his age it's just crazy I just see Matthew Stafford getting better I can't seem unless he gets hurt

Same, I moved to LA from Detroit 3 years ago and am 25.

No we didn't we still DETROIT fans!! It's Detroit vs everybody & Detroit lions not Detroit Staffords we don't follow a person we support a team!!! It's fans like you that we are glad to to see leave & please don't come back see ya!!

@@donbur1553 my condolences

@@weebhub5359 no need we are on the right track and trading staff was part of it 12 years here. It was better for him and us to move on but thanks for Brad Holmes and Ray Agnew the guys 40% of building that rams Roster

@@donbur1553 the lions have been on “the right track” for the last 40 years

Got I wish we had a pro team in Detroit

I wouldn't say many years. With his play-style and body type, he probably has 4-5 more years left in him though.

His numbers are already better than a lot of HOF QBs, now he’s got a ring; which came by way of 3 straight comeback wins. He Tom Brady’d Tom Brady. Made a few of the best throws in Super Bowl history. Can you really tell the story of football without including that? I don’t really see an argument against him in the HOF as we speak.

@@samael6903 I agree.

@@samael6903 The problem is that the people who vote in Hall of Fame players often use stupid logic when deciding who does or doesn't make it in. Some of the criteria includes both fair and unfair requirements, such as: Career passing yards, TDs, and INTs (can be fair, depending on what era the player played in. You can't compare a QB who played in the 1950's to a QB who played in the 2010s. It's just not fair as the game was a LOT different back then compared to 2010) Pro Bowls (popularity contest that often shuns players who should make it - You can't tell me Matthew Stafford didn't deserve to be one of the three QBs selected to the NFC Pro Bowl team back in 2011 when he passed for over 5,000 yards and 41 TDs, instead of being an alternate behind Eli Manning, who had a statistically inferior season to Stafford) All-Pro selections (also a popularity contest that often snubs players who should make it based on the team they play for) Team success (or lack thereof), which is NEVER due to one player, even a QB, unless that QB is straight up horrible and is clearly the problem, despite the rest of the team being good (when a good-to-great QB is playing well, his offensive line, running backs, receivers, and tight ends often deserve a lot of the credit but don't get it, and the same is true for a good QB who plays poorly at times). The problem with many so-called "experts" chiming in and saying Matthew Stafford isn't HOF-worthy is that they're judging him for not being able to lift a horrible franchise with decades of dysfunctional operation beyond more than minimal success. They point to things like: Oh, Matthew Stafford had Calvin Johnson for nine years, or He had Golden Tate, Marvin Jones, and Kenny Golladay, and didn't win anything. They would have a point if that wasn't such a narrow view. This conveniently ignores the issues that actually plagued the Lions during those years, and newsflash, Stafford was not one of them. During the 12 years that Stafford played for the Lions, he was hurt and on IR for 3 of them, two of which were his rookie and second seasons. So, he really didn't have Calvin Johnson for nine years. He really only had him for like five as Calvin was drafted two years before him and Stafford was hurt his first two years. As soon as Stafford was able to stay healthy, he started putting up respectable numbers year in and year out, especially once Jim Caldwell came in and helped him tone down the aggressiveness enough to curb the INTs he was throwing prior. Calvin retired in the fifth year that Stafford was the full-time starting QB. Let's also not forget that, outside of one or two years of Stafford's 12 year career, the Lions had no real running game, ranking last or near last in that department every year. I don't care who your QB and WRs are. If the other team doesn't have to respect your running game and are able to pin their ears back and pass rush all game while sitting back waiting for the pass, you're not going to consistently win games week-in, week-out on an annual basis. Furthermore, with the exception of one or two years, the Lions' defense was a sieve and couldn't stop a nosebleed. Both years the Lions' defense was even respectable, the team made the playoffs. It's hard to win games consistently when your defense can't get stops when it matters. Shootouts are not a reliable way to win. Let's also not forget that, the one year the Lions had an elite defense (2014- Ranked 2nd in the NFL in scoring defense, were ranked 1st for most of the year), they also made the mistake of hiring their worst offensive coordinator in recent memory in Joe Lombardi, who took a once respectable offensive line, pass-protection-wise anyway, and turned them into turnstiles. Defenders were coming through the A- and B-gaps consistently, getting in Stafford's face almost immediately after the snap on many occasions. He was sacked more times in that season than I care to remember. They still made the playoffs, and would have won the wildcard game against Dallas had they not been hosed on a clear PI call that the NFL even admitted later was a mistake. This was a testament to Stafford's talent, that he could still play well enough, even with pass protection that bad, to win 11 games and put the team in the postseason. The point of this long rant is that Stafford has always been a great QB and people couldn't see it because he played on a bad team. If you took any other QB, such as Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, etc., and put the on the Lions as a rookie from day one of their respective careers, and forced them to play with Detroit for 12 years, I GUARANTEE YOU that NONE of them would have done any better. In fact, Tom Brady would be out of the league and no one except die-hard Wolverines or Lions fans would know who he was, as he wouldn't have had Belichick to mold him into the Elite QB he eventually became.

A lot of people owe Stafford an apology

Stafford won more playoff games in one year than the whole lions “organization” has since 1957. 1957 !

Brilliant and short and sweet. You nailed it. That Tampa game was the game that showed Stafford's resolve. The Niners game was the game that showed AD's.

Stupid Bayless will hate him forever for that.
