If the jury was ever out between Stafford and Ryan, you just brought them back with a verdict. The career passing completion record is close enough to be a push. But the TD-INT ratio of Stafford's 118-79 versus Ryan's 166-84 is telling. 48 more touchdowns with only 5 more picks? Guys named Manning, Rodgers, and Brady would take that in a heartbeat. But the smoking gun is their records. 63-39 versus 29-39? That means Ryan has played 34 more games than Stafford and won them all. Regardless of what happens in London, this is not even a close call. Ryan has clearly shown he is superior to Stafford.
