Matthew Stafford Receives Surprising QB Ranking That Will Please Rams Fans originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a recent episode of "First Take", analyst Chris "Mad Dog" Russo delivered a surprising quarterback ranking that has Los Angeles Rams fans rejoicing.

Matthew Stafford is finally getting some well-deserved respect in Madden, rating as one of the best quarterbacks in this year's game.

With Stafford sidelined, the Rams have been leaning on another veteran, 33-year-old Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, who has 64 starts across stints with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders and the Rams, has been leading the first-team offense throughout camp and would take the reins as QB1 if Stafford misses any time.
