NFL Insider John Frascella posted his newest NFL Top 50 Quarterback Ranking on Thursday and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was ranked the highest he’s been in quite some time. Frascella has Stafford as the third-best quarterback in the league. And X.com can’t handle any love for Stafford.
Stafford’s name moves all over QB ranking lists. For a very consistent player, he is a divisive figure in the black-and-white world of rankings. And that derision comes out in the response to Stafford being thrown in the mix with Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson.
But Frascella doesn’t back down in the comments. He even mixes it up in the comments, defending Stafford against several scoffing responders.

So many people always forget the second most IMPORTANT metric for a QB after throwing the . Football IQ, ability to dissect the defense and get it done using that Football IQ. Stafford has and is TOP 2/3 over anyone not named Mahomes in IQ. Your rating him 3 is on point

Also while you’re at it, Lamar is literally bottom 10 on this list if it’s playoff performers. pic.twitter.com/ZU90CNUTMV
