Vince Ferragamo

Stafford's a different beast entirely—11,336 career yards to Ferragamo's 11,336, but Stafford's thrown 283 TDs compared to Vince's 76. Matthew's had the luxury of modern passing rules and better protection schemes, while Ferragamo was slinging it in the late '70s and '80s when defenses could actually breathe on you. Stafford's the better pure passer, but Ferragamo made that 1979 Super Bowl run as a rookie starter—something Stafford never quite managed in LA.

No, Ferragamo never made Canton. Despite throwing for 30 TDs in 1980 (tied for second in the league) and appearing on Sports Illustrated covers in back-to-back years, he fell short of Hall of Fame consideration. His 70.1 career passer rating and 76 total touchdowns didn't quite reach that threshold, though his Super Bowl XIV appearance as a first-year starter remains one of the more remarkable achievements in Rams history.

The search results don't contain information about Ferragamo's current activities in 2026. To answer this accurately, I'd need updated sources on his post-football career—whether he's involved in broadcasting, business ventures, or charitable work.

Ferragamo would likely thrive in today's pass-happy NFL, though it's impossible to know for certain. Modern rules prohibit the kind of physical defense he faced in the late '70s and '80s, which would've inflated his TD numbers considerably. His 55.9 completion percentage would probably climb to 65-70% in today's environment, but he'd still face elite pass rushes and coverage schemes that didn't exist in his era.

Warner absolutely dominates this comparison—his 37.3 passer rating crushes Ferragamo's 70.1 career mark. Warner threw 208 career TDs to Vince's 76, and he actually won a Super Bowl (XXXIV with the Rams). Both are Rams franchise staples, but Warner's peak was significantly higher. Ferragamo was a solid starter who had moments; Warner was a legitimate MVP-caliber player who transformed the franchise.
