Seven years ago Jared Goff was the belle of the NFL Draft ball.
The Cal product went No. 1 overall to Los Angeles Rams, the franchise’s first selection upon returning to the West Coast. As the quarterback walked across the stage to hug Roger Goodell, Tupac and Dr. Dre’s “California Love” played, appropriately, overhead.
He was a huge reason why Detroit won eight of its last 10 games. The early season struggles were mostly on the defense, which finished ranked 28th in points allowed and spent weeks as the league’s worst unit. His leadership and work ethic are unquestioned.Just how much they like him will soon be known.
That requires seeing Goff as not just the 2023 starter, but one for the future, including a potential contract extension beyond the 2024 season. To go the QB route suggests, for the most part, that the Lions believe they need a talent pop at the position or, at the very least, a long term fix. In other words, Goff isn’t really the answer.
Goff isn’t Mahomes. He may not even be Alex Smith . Goff did lead the Rams to a Super Bowl, but then produced just a field goal in a loss to New England.
