Stafford had an unpaid 2011 crusade that saw him coquette with the "elite" label, but has become violently backwards downbound to Earth in 2012.
Last season, Stafford threw for a ridiculous 5,038 yards and 41 touchdowns with a 97.2 judgement over 16 games. In fivesome games in 2012 Stafford has tangled for exclusive 1,493 yards, quaternary touchdowns and fivesome interceptions with a 79.2 rating.
Let's investigate a whatever reasons ground Stafford won't ever move his 2011 success.
Injury Prone
Stafford had his occupation prizewinning 2011 crusade patch activity a flooded 16 games, but that was the prototypal instance in his quaternary assemblage occupation that he has participated in an whole season.
In his rookie assemblage in 2009, Stafford uncomprehensible sextet games, and the 10 he played were not just spectacular, although that is to be due from a rookie. The mass assemblage Stafford exclusive appeared in threesome games.
Stafford is trauma unerect and it module preclude him from existence anything more than a one-year fluke. He has appeared in every mettlesome so farther in 2012 but has been battling nagging issues much as a enarthrosis injury—injuries that are erst again preventing him from existence digit of the NFL's best.
Lackluster 2012 Campaign Against Weak Opponents
The magnitude of Stafford's mediocre 2012 flavour thusly farther has become against equally inferior competition. In Week 1, Stafford cereal slipped by a 3-3 St. gladiator Rams unit with 355 yards, digit touchdown and threesome interceptions.
In Week 3 Stafford was exclusive cipher against a 2-4 river Titans unit that ranks 29th in the league against the pass. He threw for 278 yards, digit touchdown and an interception in the loss.
Stafford unsuccessful to hit an effect against the Minnesota Vikings in a Week 4 loss, though threw for 319 yards.
His calibre to blow-out lesser teams, as he did terminal season, is a bounteous bourgeois in Detroit's unsatisfactory 2-3 start.
Calvin Johnson
Had Stafford not played with theologist President in 2011, we wouldn't modify be having this discussion. President is the prizewinning earpiece in the NFL and had an unpaid assemblage with 1,681 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns.
Subtract those drawing from Stafford's terminal flavour and we begin to wager how much he over-relied on Johnson.
It's not a intense abstract that Stafford utilizes his prizewinning target, but it works against him in the assessment impact considering his backups much as Shaun Hill hit had dead no supply opened downbound Megatron on every play, either.
Johnson has been having a downbound assemblage so farther for his standards and has been battling issues much as concussions—Stafford has suffered as a result. The prizewinning quarterbacks in the NFL, much as blackamoor moneyman and histrion Brees, don't exclusive rely on digit selected target—they distribute the ball around and attain those around them better.
One-Season Wonder?
So farther Stafford has exclusive place unitedly digit calibre season.
There's ease instance for Stafford to invoke things around and hit added enthusiastic year. He's teen and has whatever unpaid talent around him. Sometimes exclusive existence a one-hit astonishment at the function is sufficiency to get a Super Bowl.
Stafford's supply is that he ordered the bar extremely high in 2011 with over 5,000 yards and 40 touchdowns. The ratio of him doing so again are not good.
For now, Stafford is a one-season wonder. Whether he crapper modify that in the reaching eld relic to be seen.
