I think JG is a very efficient qb who plays well within the system and is a very crisp extension of the game plan. But I don't think he's clutch.
I wish Stafford were as crisp and efficient as JG earlier in games. Notice, for example, that as often as not defenses pounce on screens of any kind when Stafford is playing, but with JG's big game last year he made all those screens work. I just think that every move in JG's game is to do it "exactly as coached" so he is a good, clean "driver". He's much more of an efficient "coach's machine" at qb than Stafford.
But not only is Stafford better overall (as you would naturally expect), above all you want Stafford in there late in a close game. It's not just that Stafford is more of a gunslinger. Stafford is clutch.
Who was it who said this? A Rams starter last year talked about how Stafford just changes when it's late and the game is on the line. His exact words were, "even his eyes are different."
exactly ! he reminds me of Jordan, and the late, great Kobe.. it's like the end of the game "slows down" just for them
