And he's awful and injured often. Hard pass.
Stafford awful? Look at his stats. More than respectable, and never had an offensive mind like Shanahan coaching him.
This year in 12 games he has 3200 yards and a 21:9 TD:INT ratio. That while having Matt Patricia and interim head coaches. He's passed for over 4000 yards 7 times, and not just in the Megatron years.
Oft injured? He missed 8 games last year. Before then he had 8 straight seasons of playing 16 games.
He'd be an obvious upgrade from Jimmy G, IMO. Not much older, either (he's 32 while JG is 29). The sticking point would be his contract (it would need to be reworked) and compensation in the trade (probably the 1st round pick this year).
