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

Garoppolo signed with the Rams in 2023 after an injury-filled year with the Las Vegas Raiders. He played in just one game — starting the regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. He went 27-for-41 for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Russo placed Matthew Stafford at the top of his NFC quarterback list, ahead of Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels. This ranking comes despite Stafford’s age and diminished mobility, highlighting his clutch performance and proven track record.
