Bomani Jones has a disappointing QB comp for Matthew Stafford
Bomani Jones doesn't think Matthew Stafford is a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame because he's similar to a quarterback who he won't make it.
On the heels of his first-ever MVP, many are clamoring for Matthew Stafford to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he eventually retires. NFL pundit Bomani Jones is not one of the people who think that way, though. The podcast host recently said the Stafford's career compares more closely to Carson Palmer than any other quarterback, and no one is claiming Palmer should be in the Hall of Fame.
"The comp is Carson Palmer. It has always been the comp, right? ," Jones said on "The Dominique Foxworth Show.
" "I've seen people get offended by that. But I think three-time Pro Bowler Carson Palmer and three-time Pro Bowler Matthew Stafford have a decent bit in common. If somehow Carson got himself a Super Bowl, we would have to talk about him the same way.
" The differences between Palmer and Stafford are more than just the Super Bowl, though. Stafford has the MVP award as well as one first-team All-Pro nod. Statistically, Stafford has Palmer beat in career completion percentage, passing yards per game and passing touchdowns per game (albeit barely).
