​One thing that separates Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford from his contemporaries is his ability to master certain tricks of the trade at the highest level. The trick Stafford is best known for is his no-look pass, where he uses his eyes to freeze a defender before throwing the ball to another spot on the field. Another tool of Stafford’s is his use of different arm angles. He was asked this week about the angles he uses to get the football to a pass catcher and how that helps him succeed as an NFL quarterback. Stafford said its use is in the small details, as he utilizes different angles to circumvent oncoming pass rushers.“I think for me, it’s probably on a lot of the throws that don’t get a second look,” said Stafford. “Sometimes it’s just getting it to a running back or getting it to a tight end on a screen or a check down that you think is going to be like this and then has to get maneuvered over because you feel a defensive lineman jump and those kinds of things.”Not to say it always happens, but those are the little throws where the average fan probably watches and just goes, ‘There’s a check down for four yards to the running back.’ But maybe that ball gets batted or you don’t even get the chance to throw it with that defensive lineman in your face or something like that. That’s where I feel like they come. It’s not the launches down the field where I’m like, ‘I got a great clean pocket, let me just drop it down for no reason.’ It’s just instinctual plays.”It’s those slight changes that drive the Rams’ offensive efficiency, especially with the team’s love for screen passes. With their 13 personnel offense, Stafford is forced to navigate waves of defenders due to how tightly stacked the box usually is. The more accurate the passes, the more the team stays ahead of the chains.That’s why he’s the reigning MVP, despite his age.This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Matthew Stafford explains logic behind one of his unique traits at QB
