By-the-Way, Rob Parker doubled-down on being a moron by saying this yesterday:
He did win, I didn’t think he would win, I thought he would not get it done at the end of the game, and he wound up doing it.
Was it anything different from what I expected from Matthew Stafford? No.
Did he change my opinion of him? No.
Did he prove me wrong that he could get it done? Yes. But I haven’t changed my opinion. I looked at that game and how he played, and while he won – he’s a champion and has a Super Bowl – I think people have gone off the deep end with this over-crazed narrative about him and his accomplishments.
I looked at that game and thought to myself ‘there are 10-12 quarterbacks who could have won a Super Bowl with the Rams, including Ryan Tannehill.’ I just thought he played ‘well enough’,
I hated to see the flags at the end and thought that was unfortunate that we had to see that after they had basically let them play for more than three quarters. Then the phantom holding in the end zone was a crucial call against the Bengals that hurt.
Any top 15 quarterback could have won that Super Bowl.”
