Can the new Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford break franchise records in his first season with the team? Based on his numbers with the Detroit Lions, improved support with LA on both sides of the roster, and the addition of a 17th regular season game, it’s likely.

The Rams records to keep an eye on are single season total passing yards and single season touchdowns. Both marks are held by Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner. The Super Bowl MVP threw for 4,830 yards in 2001 and 41 total touchdowns in 1999.

Stafford has thrown for more total yards in two of his previous seasons, 5,038 yards in 2011 and 4,967 yards in 2012. As for TDs in a single campaign, Stafford’s career high is 41 which he set in 2011.

The new Rams passer would have to average 284.2 yards per game to break one record and 2.5 touchdowns per game to break the other.
