I feel like we need to start tossing him in the top 5 discussion, personally. The guy has elite decision-making. It’s been a little shocking how well Goff has turned out to be, I never thought especially high of Jared before he came to the Lions, but I would argue that he has at this point become a smarter quarterback than Matthew Stafford ever was.
Please banish me to jail if I’m off base about this.
Top 5 quarterbacks make bad teams good. Think about the Bengals the year before Joe Burrow. Or the Colts the year Peyton Manning missed a season.
Goff is good. Very good. But he cannot elevate a garbage team to a Super Bowl contender single handedly.
