I love coming to work. I love the group that we get to do it with. These, like I said, opportunities don\u2019t come every single year, so I just try to live in them and cherish them when they\u2019re here. I sure hope it\u2019s not my last opportunity, but we\u2019ll see. You never know. Take these games and these seasons one at a time and figure it out from there. But I just know that I\u2019m happy in the moment that I am right now doing what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no reason to think Stafford can\u2019t keep going, for several years to come. He had a stellar season, being named first-team All-Pro for the first time in his career. And he could end up winning his first NFL MVP award.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger goal is to win a Super Bowl.
