Jared Goff is having one of the best seasons of any NFL quarterback this season. The Lions QB firmly deserves a spot in the MVP conversation.
quarterback has not only continued his high level of play from last season — he's improved upon it this year. As a result, the Lions look like every bit the contender we surmised they could be coming into this year.
Goff now ranks first in passes of 20-plus yards with 29 on the season. He's third in quarterback rating, at 105.1. He's third in yards per attempt with 7.97 and in first down percentage . He's fourth in touchdowns responsible for with 13 — seven of which have been on passes of 20 or more yards. He's tied for fourth in completion rate at 69.5% and fifth in passing yards with 1,618. He's tied for fifth in passing touchdowns with 11.
"Look, I don't know what ‘MVP' is or isn't these days, but I know this, he's playing at a very high level," said head coach Dan Campbell."He's making the throws that are there, he's seeing the field and he's exactly what we need and he's doing exactly what we're asking him to do. But I've said this before, he is an evolving quarterback.
Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is a master at his craft and setting his players up for success. But as Campbell pointed out, Goff is doing exactly what they need him to do, and that counts for something. He's stringing together four good quarters of football week in and week out and has been the picture of consistency. Goff shouldn't be penalized for the team general manager Brad Holmes put around him.
