So to start off, I am indifferent on Goff, he has a certain playstyle that will win you games. His ability to thread the needle down the middle and his play action is top tier when the Oline is firing on all cylinders.
But what I found odd was his contract was not reworked during the bye.
It just screams that the coaching staff and brad may have different ideas, I personally think they are behind the scenes trying to make this as team friendly as possible but makes you wonder
They have been in discussions. My guess is there’s an agreement in principal. but I don’t think either side is feeling a huge urgency and anything done during the season could be a distraction.
I would be in no hurry to extend Goff. We have 2 years left for further evaluation. It looks like next year there will be about 20 QBs coming into the NFL. I think Goff is similar to Brock Purdy in that he is very effective running our offense if all pieces are in place. When the 49ers were missing LT Trent Williams Purdy was terrible and they lost 3 in a row. I see Goff as a good game manager but not a play maker. He doesn’t threaten a defense with a deep ball like Josh Allen and when he scrambles he looks like one of those tall flailing baloons you see outside a car dealership.
QB protection has been ass and guys like Decker and Rags are being shoved back and out muscled or injured and if one or both of them get pushed around , the rest of the line begins to fail like dominos. Goff can’t BE Goff with 1.75 seconds and he begins to play like crap ., SO–I would say we need help on the O-line and Defense .
Yep. Although, I would argue that VERY FEW QBs can even be ‘decent’ when the O-line is playing poorly. Let alone ‘good.’
I mean, you’re not wrong. But he also doesn’t through 5,467 frustrating picks like Allen does. Goff’s had a rough couple of weeks. But on the whole, I think he is doing very well.
Holmes is a smart guy. He knows that Goff has major limitations and you need a guy who can move in order to win in the NFL. Goff has had a good stretch for the Lions but other than that he was awful. He can’t throw the ball outdoors, he sucks on the road, he is the least mobile QB in the entire NFL.
Getting a competent QB like Goff when moving Stafford was a very smart move by Holmes…but make no mistake he knows we need someone to take this team to the next level.
O line help LOL. The Lions have the best o line in the league. You aren’t going to upgrade from what the Lions have. It’s
Almost like you guys don’t watch other games
