Quick answer
WatchStafford threw for 155 yards in 2026, finishing QB32. Stafford already has a Rams Super Bowl ring and keeps starting into his mid-30s — the aging curve is real, but the résumé is not a pure fade signal. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
