Stafford’s MVP Push Sparks Debate | NFL News

Aaron Donald’s surprise return to the Rams has dominated headlines, but the real firestorm erupted when ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky boldly placed Matthew Stafford among the top seven QBs—and even suggested he could be a top MVP candidate in 2025. Fans are pushing back hard, pointing to Stafford’s lone Super Bowl win on a stacked Rams roster, contrasting it with the multiple MVPs and playoff dominance of legends like Brady and Manning. His First-Team All-Pro nod in 2025 is a milestone, but critics argue his Lions tenure—marked by losing records and playoff droughts—can’t be ignored. Adding fuel to the flames, Orlovsky’s history as Stafford’s backup with Detroit has fans calling him a “homer,” even demanding he be fired. Yet, Stafford’s elite 2024 season—leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns—remains undeniable, and with the Rams poised as Super Bowl contenders, his future looks bright regardless of the debate.
