Kliff Kingsbury calls Matthew Stafford ‘a freak show’ at QB, raves about legendary arm talent

Kliff Kingsbury has watched Matthew Stafford since high school and considers his arm talent “legendary.”

Matthew Stafford has always had impressive arm strength and the innate ability to make some of the toughest throws on a football field. But since becoming a member of the Rams, he’s garnering even more attention from players, analysts and coaches than he was in Detroit.

Take Kliff Kingsbury, for instance, who raved about Stafford’s arm talent and ability at the quarterback position. Ahead of Sunday’s matchup between the Rams and Cardinals, the coach praised Stafford for being a “freak show” at quarterback and having “legendary” arm talent.

Kingsbury would know Stafford’s game, too, having watched him since high school.

Stafford isn’t afraid to attempt any throw on the field, which can lead to turnovers sometimes, but it also allows him to create big plays that few other quarterbacks can. Kingsbury made a funny comment that some of the throws Stafford makes “a mortal man wouldn’t even attempt.”

As we’ve all seen through three weeks, the pairing of Stafford and Sean McVay has worked beautifully. The Rams have 11 touchdown drives of at least 70 yards, Stafford has thrown nine touchdown passes and Los Angeles is scoring on a league-high 58.6% of its possessions.

Kingsbury says it’s “a perfect storm” with Stafford and Kingsbury together, which is bad news for the rest of the division and league.

Kingsbury and the Cardinals will get a taste of the new-look Rams on Sunday when he attempts to snap Arizona’s eight-game losing streak against Los Angeles.
