For the most part of his career, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/sean-mcvay-passionate-tequila-fueled-speech-made-rams-trade-for-matthew-stafford-20220810-0009.html" target="_blank">Matthew Stafford</a> has been a bit of a subject of debate. Some believed the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/-nfl-news-new-vikings-te-tj-hockenson-totally-disrespects-the-detroit-lions-20221103-0020.html" target="_blank">Detroit Lions</a> were holding back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-geno-smith-and-dark-horse-mvp-candidates-20221111-0025.html" target="_blank">an MVP</a>-caliber talent, while others thought he was a part of the problem. 
His first year under Sean McVay proved more of the first than anything. He had one of the best seasons in his career and finally helped the Los Angeles Rams get over the hump and win the Super Bowl.&nbsp; 
However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2022-super-bowl-winner-qb-matthew-stafford-wife-family-native-town-and-season-stats-20220219-0005.html" target="_blank">Stafford</a> has had a bit of a down year this season. He's got a reputation for being tough as nails and constantly grinding through injury, which is why his wife, Kelly, is so worried about him. 
<h2>NFL News: Matthew Stafford's Wife Wants Him To Stay Safe</h2> 
"I truly love watching my husband compete and do something he loves," Stafford said on The Morning After podcast. "It's what gives him joy, therefore it gives me joy. But would I give it up in a heartbeat? 1,000 percent. I'd give up the football, the money, the fame, everything. I don't need that. I just need the man I fell in love with to be the same man for my kids and the life that we are going to live." 
"I fell in love with Matthew because he was funny, witty, cute and a little chubby and kind and patient and just f--king smart," she said. "It's scary to think that Matthew may not be around." 
<h2>Kelly Knows Matt Won't Retire Just Yet</h2> 
The Rams QB is still under the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit his last time around. He's also seeing a specialist to try and take better cae of his mental health and be there for his family for decades to come: 
"I think it's a really hard thing to admit to yourself&mdash;when you have this beautiful mind that is witty and my favorite thing about him&mdash;that something is going on and it's not just a bad day," Kelly continued.&nbsp;"I'll give him a lot of credit. He came to me and immediately spilled what he was feeling." 
"I know he's not ready to give it up," she added. "He has to be the one to make that decision and I know he's not ready and I know there will be a time when he is. Matthew is not going to be the Tom Brady of the world. But I know right now is not the end and that's a hard thing to wrap my head around."

At the end of the day, this is a contact sport, and injuries will forever be a part of it. But the league needs to find a way to keep its players safe, as no one should have to risk their mental health for the sake of a game.

Fortunately, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2022-super-bowl-winner-qb-matthew-stafford-wife-family-native-town-and-season-stats-20220219-0005.html" target="_blank">Super Bowl-winning QB</a> will be ready for Week 1. 
However, recent reports state that he's still week-to-week with his injury treatment, so there's still chance he misses a game, especially considering the fact he needs to get some rest to go back to full strength. 
Moreover, it seems like Stafford feels<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-shares-massive-matthew-stafford-injury-update-20220905-0007.html" target="_blank"> way below 100% right now.</a> He didn't want to get into details or make a big fuzz out of it, but he didn't sound like a guy who's back to full strength just yet. 
<h2>NFL Rumors: Matthew Stafford Still Struggling With Elbow Injury</h2> 
"I feel good. I'm ready to go. No limitations," Stafford told the media before stopping short. "[I] still think there's. . . . I don't know. I feel great. I'm ready to go play, can always be better. [I] can I always try to feel like I'm 21 again, I'll keep trying, but no I feel really good. [I] feel like I can make every throw. I don't know what else you need to hear from me."

<h2>Sean McVay Says He's In Great Shape</h2> 
HC Sean McVay pretty much dismissed all rumors about Stafford's injury. He claimed that he's in great shape and ready to do, especially because of his competitive spirit and determination to be out there: 
"I tell you what, he's throwing the ball excellent," McVay said. "He feels good. Everything that I'm seeing is reflective of everything he's saying to me and so I feel really good about that. You can't look back on the past. It is something that will be very similar to last year so it's not really anything that's different. You got a great competitor that you want to be smart about managing guys' bodies and for a quarterback, their arm is always something that you want to be smart about. That'll be the same as what we did last year with him." 
No one will be 100% healthy throughout a football season, that's just obvious. But maybe, the Rams would be better off by taking things slowly with their franchise QB rather than rushing him back to the field.

Sean McVay knows firsthand what it's like to have an average driver leading his Ferrari. And it only took Stafford one season to prove that the team was just a good QB away from ending their title drought.

NFL News: Sean McVay shares massive Matthew Stafford injury update

A couple of weeks ago, the reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-stays-with-the-la-rams-but-with-one-unique-condition-20220809-0038.html" target="_blank">Super Bowl champions</a> sounded off the alarms about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-matthew-stafford-breaks-the-silence-on-his-elbow-injury-20220808-0002.html" target="_blank">Matthew Stafford.</a> The veteran QB was experiencing an undisclosed, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-shares-terrible-update-about-matthew-stafford-20220805-0004.html" target="_blank">not-so-common&nbsp;elbow injury,</a> similar to what pitchers go through before undergoing Tommy John. 
Needless to say, that was a major concern for the Los Angeles Rams organization. They know how vital Stafford was to last year's success, and it's not like they had an in-house replacement for his services. 
Stafford constantly downplayed the injury and claimed it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Now,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/sean-mcvay-passionate-tequila-fueled-speech-made-rams-trade-for-matthew-stafford-20220810-0009.html" target="_blank"> HC Sean McVay</a> has also shaken off all concerns, lauding Stafford's command and energy during practice. 
<h2>NFL News: Matthew Stafford Shows Great Command And Energy Despite Elbow Injury</h2> 
&ldquo;I thought he had great energy, great command all day,&rdquo; McVay said, per ProFootballTalk. &ldquo;I thought he threw the ball incredibly accurately in all parts of the field, really activated all parts of our pass game. There was a couple where he&rsquo;s hitting the spots we want and we just have to be able to finish some of those plays." 
"I&rsquo;m encouraged because we can coach off of those and we are getting those opportunities to feel what it&rsquo;s like for him to be able to throw with Allen [Robinson]," the Head Coach&nbsp;added. "Ben Skowronek made a handful of plays, also TuTu [Atwell]. He&rsquo;s got a comfort level with [Tyler] Higbee and with Cooper [Kupp]. But some of these newer guys, today was a great step in the right direction to be able to start establishing that rapport that will be critical for this year.&rdquo;

Stafford wasn't able to throw at all during the offseason, but it seems like there are no signs of rust whatsoever. That's great news for the most stacked team in the NFL as they look to win back-to-back rings.

NFL News: Sean McVay shares key injury update on Matthew Stafford

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-stays-with-the-la-rams-but-with-one-unique-condition-20220809-0038.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles Rams</a> slowly but steadily put together a contending team. But <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-shares-terrible-update-about-matthew-stafford-20220805-0004.html" target="_blank">the NFL</a> is a quarterbacks league now more than ever, and having <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-has-one-big-regret-about-the-jared-goff-trade-20220701-0008.html" target="_blank">Jared Goff</a> behind center wasn't enough to get the job done. 
Goff and the Rams underperformed in the first Super Bowl of the Sean McVay era. Then, it became evident that they needed an upgrade at the QB position if they intended to go back to the ultimate stage. 
McVay and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-matthew-stafford-breaks-the-silence-on-his-elbow-injury-20220808-0002.html" target="_blank">Matthew Stafford</a> got together while on vacation, and after a few tequilas, it was as clear as day. He was their guy, and McVay made quite sure to let the Rams brass have a piece of his mind. 
<h2>NFL News: Sean McVay Convinced Rams To Trade For Matthew Stafford With Tequila-Fueled Rant</h2> 
(Transcript via Seth Wickersham of ESPN) 
"They met for drinks poolside, talking football. A bond forged over sun and booze. McVay returned to his hotel and, 'a few tequilas in,' he says now, hopped on a FaceTime with Rams brass, unleashing a plea that's now legendary around the team's office.&nbsp; 
'Here's the f&mdash;ing deal, OK? We can sit here and exist, and be OK winning nine to 11 games, and losing in the f&mdash;ing divisional round and feel like, 'Oh, everything's OK.' Or, we could let our motherf&mdash;ing nuts hang, and go trade for this f&mdash;ing quarterback, and give ourselves a chance to go win a f&mdash;ing world championship. You ready to f&mdash;ing do this or what?'" 
Goff had just signed a contract extension, so it was somewhat shocking. But the Rams fully trusted McVay, and that rant sure paid off, as they went on to win the Super Bowl in Stafford's first year in Los Angeles. 
So, next time they give you a hard time for being a few tequilas in, just tell'em you're doing business.

Sean McVay's passionate tequila-fueled speech made Rams trade for Matthew Stafford

Insiders and fans were ready to sound off the alarms when news broke that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-shares-terrible-update-about-matthew-stafford-20220805-0004.html" target="_blank">Matthew Stafford</a> may not be ready for the start of the NFL season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/three-names-to-replace-rams-van-jefferson-in-case-he-isnt-ready-for-week-1-20220802-0008.html" target="_blank">Los Angeles Rams</a> HC <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-has-one-big-regret-about-the-jared-goff-trade-20220701-0008.html" target="_blank">Sean McVay</a> revealed he was dealing with an undisclosed elbow injury they didn't know how to treat. 
McVay claimed that Stafford's injury was similar to what pitchers go through before undergoing Tommy John surgery. Needless to say, this was rather unusual coming from a football player. 
That's why the reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2022-super-bowl-winner-qb-matthew-stafford-wife-family-native-town-and-season-stats-20220219-0005.html" target="_blank">Super Bowl</a> champion had to go on record and clear the air about his current status and potential availability. Fortunately for the fans, Stafford isn't worried one bit about his shoulder. 
<h2>NFL News: Matthew Stafford Downplays Elbow Injury</h2> 
"It's gotten a lot more traction than I would have thought, to be honest with you," Stafford told The Athletic. "I'm just going through something that is irritating, at the moment, but I'm working through it. We've got a great plan. I'm feeling stronger every time I come out and throw.&nbsp;I'm right on track, feeling good."

</div> 
&nbsp; 
<h2>McVay Feels Better About Stafford's Injury Now</h2> 
McVay admitted he was quite concerned about his QB1's ability to be on the field because of the injury. Nonetheless, he's put all those doubts to sleep after watching him thrive and throw as good as ever: 
"I don't really know how much you can ask about how Matthew is feeling, I mean, he threw it all over the yard today," McVay said. "Looked really good, felt good, we're very much on track with what we had hoped. I think you could really see the ball was jumping out of his hand, making all types of throws." 
"I think he was trying to show you guys that there's probably not many questions you can ask him either," the coach added. "The way that he looked today, I don't think you would know that anything was going on, and he felt good. So I know that I'm gonna sleep better tonight." 
The Rams know firsthand how important Stafford could be for another potential Super Bowl trip. He was the missing piece they needed to finally win that Vince Lombardi trophy, so they won't take any chances on him.

NFL News: Matthew Stafford breaks the silence on his elbow injury

Other than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-the-buffalo-bills-move-that-blocked-the-love-story-between-von-miller-and-the-dallas-cowboys-20220707-0037.html" target="_blank">losing Von Miller,</a> it was pretty much a slam dunk by the reigning&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/2022-super-bowl-winner-qb-matthew-stafford-wife-family-native-town-and-season-stats-20220219-0005.html" target="_blank">Super Bowl</a> champions, who look poised to be the team to beat in the NFC again this season. 
However, this is a quarterbacks' league, and the Rams know better than anybody else that they need a reliable guy behind center to get things done. That's why the latest updates on Matthew Stafford have to be worrisome. 
The former Detroit Lions star won't participate in team drills until further notice. He's dealing with a 'very bad tendinitis' and has an 'abnormal' elbow injury for a quarterback, according to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-sean-mcvay-has-one-big-regret-about-the-jared-goff-trade-20220701-0008.html" target="_blank">HC Sean McVay.</a> 
<h2>NFL News: Rams Worried Over Matthew Stafford's 'Abnormal' Elbow Pain&nbsp;</h2> 
"It's a little bit abnormal for a quarterback, some of this stuff is things that MLB pitchers deal with, so it is something that we're kind of learning about on the fly and his feedback," McVay said. "We're really trying to just figure out, 'OK, how do we get the best plan in place to try to minimize some of the things that he was having to push through,' while also giving him the confidence that, 'Hey, I can really just, let it go, not have to worry about it, play to the best of my ability.'" 
"The goal is to try to get him to feel as good as possible, especially when you're talking about something with that throwing elbow, and this is the plan that we feel best about, but it is something that I've never navigated through as a coach with a quarterback," McVay added. "You've had little elbow things here and there, but this is something that we want to be as smart as possible, and it's taken a big team to try to do that." 
 
<div class="ck-related-news">

 &nbsp;

</div> 
&nbsp; 
McVay added that Stafford is looking forward to being on the field, but the team will continue assessing his status for the next couple of weeks at the very least. This isn't what the reigning champs wanted to hear as they look to defend their crown.
