Probably wise to put that in the original post.  I know it is more fun to bait responses and come in and tell people why they are so dumb, but it is much easier to just add the reason to the first comment.  

Appreciate the advice on how to navigate this place!! I’m learning.

 

I assumed it was self explanatory. As soon as @BillsFan130 asked, I elaborated. Maybe it wasn’t clear. It’s in the first response located on page 2. The question was asked 14 minutes after the initial post. That was responded to 22 minutes later.

I just view Goff as a bus rider, not a bus driver.

 

He’s not a bad QB by any means and can look really good in the right environment.

 

Every QB is essential to a teams’ success. Tua is essential to the Dolphins’ success. When he plays very well, they are a playoff team.

 

But Tua, like Goff, has some pretty big flaws in their game that rear their ugly heads and ultimately cost their team.

 

Really, the point is that your painting of Goff’s 5 pick game and stealing a win as evidence of his personal ability is the complete antithesis of what I believe it demonstrates. I watched that whole game. That was not a marvelous comeback orchestrated by Goff. It was Goff CONSISTENTLY trying to give the game away, and his defense keeping them alive to win on a field goal. 
 

Allowing 10 points on 5 picks is a historic team achievement, not a QB achievement, imo.

 

And when it came to the postseason, bad Jared came out to play and his defense couldn’t save the day, and they got embarrassed and sent home early.
 

Up 7-3, he fumbles. Washington scores.

 

Down 3, Jared throws a pick six. 
 

Down 10 going in to the half, another pick.

 

And the Lions could never catch up.

That’s Jared Goff. 

 

 

Okay, thanks for the info, clarification.

 

But for that one game I am not saying the comeback was the result of a remarkable performance by Goff, only that the one game should never be used as a seminal example to define a player.  Even great, HOF quality quarterbacks have those kind of games, as Kelly did. 

 

And it was clearly not a  common thing for Goff last year, or over the last several years. He has not had a lot of interceptions and has one of the lowest int % rates in NFL history. And the rest of his stats clearly speak for themselves.

 

It would be like taking one of Michael Jordan's worst games statistically, and making the case that he is not that good, over payed, and using that one awful game to make the case.  Almost no one would do that because it would be completely illogical, a red herring.

 

 

(I would never define your career by your worst game, fumbling the ball on a punt return against the Browns in 2009 to just hand the Browns that game, 6-3.  As your fumble allowed the Browns to kick a short filed goal to win. But I was really PO'd at you, I have to admit! Almost over it now though.)

Brock Purdy 2024 base salary - $985,000

 

That's quite the raise! I wish I could figure out how to get my boss to pay me an extra $52 million

But I'm really surprised to see you put Goff in that group!   He is in a completely different category, has led his team to a Super Bowl

Goff "led" his team to the Super Bowl the same way Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson led their teams to the Super Bowl. He's a little better than those guys, but he's absolutely the weak link on that team. There's at least 10 QBs that would be a marked upgrade for the Lions. He single-handedly lost the game for the Lions against the Commanders in the playoffs, and he was one of the worst players on the field during their SB loss to the Patriots. The Lions had an elite team the last couple years and they've disappointed.

He's a middle of the road game manager who will never be good enough to win with, but he'll bait teams into keeping him because he's so much better than the unknown. He's a less talented Kirk Cousins. Put Purdy in the same camp as those two.

Whoa!!!

 

What an awful comparison! I read it a few times to see if there was a sign it was tongue in cheek. It is not.

 

Comparing Goff to Dilfer!? 

 

Extremely different roles in their teams, with Goff clearly a seminal leader of his team, his yards and TDS as a QB a significant reason the Lions have been so successful.

 

In Dilfer's SB year, 2019, he played 10 games for Tampa and threw for 1600 yards, with 11 TDS and 11 INts.

 

Again, here are Goff's stats the last three years:

 

2022: 65% CP,  4438 yards, 7.6 YPA, and 29 TDS and & 7 INTs

 

2023:   67%, 4575 yards, 7.6, YPA, and 30 TDs and 12 INTs

 

2024:  72%,  4,629 yards, 8,6 YPA, and 37 TDs and 12 INTs

 

I would guess you have not seen Goff play much and the same could be said for Trent Dilfer?  Goff has thrown for 96 TDS, ninety six, the last three years. Trent Dilfer threw for 113 TDS in his entire 13 year career.

 

Goff is an extremely significant part of the Lions' success--just a quick look at his stats, his yards and TDs alone should stop anyone from making such a bad comparison.

 

Hope you don't analyze or evaluate our Bills in such a crazy way!

Goff has been a FF point dream

Because the team around him is sick.  Best RB tandem in the league, great receivers, great TE's, excellent o line with aggressive offensive coaching.  Wouldn't be a shock if they won it all in this upcoming season.

When you have Goff, Lawrence, Tua, and Love all making the same money as Allen and Burrow, it starts to look like union rate for a starting QB. Prescott is just lol.

I'm willing to bet right now, that Milton leads the Cowboys to a wild card, possibly threatens for the NFCE title and Jerry Jones will be waving his Johnson at the naysayers.

Note...not a Jones or Coboys fan, just wouldn't be surprised.
