The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Jared Goff

Goff has a champion's mentality. Never too high and never too low. That's how he was able to get through the dark times and also why he is so freaking clutch.

Goff is Detroit. A city at the top of the world, who had a down turn of industry and the whole world wrote off. A city now making a come back through determination, perseverance and innovation. Goff is the embodiment of that mentality in QB form. In Goff we trust.

Jared Goff is loved in Detroit. His name is chanted at sporting events that he's not even at. At two of the Tigers games I went to this season, you could hear fans cheering his name. Last Red Wings season, there was a Jared Goff chant that started during a red wings game. He was not there. Wings were not even playing in Detroit.

[@cyphate]

I know that we're "just talking about sports" but to be completely stripped of your confidence and then at your lowest point be directly told that you're not good enough, not wanted and discarded by the people who were supposed to build you up is a transferrable feeling and brutal on anyone in any comparable situation. There is a reason that we simply don't see stories of guys who wasted potential, draft busts or mishandled developing players in any sport have this insane level of resurgence. The mental fortitude it takes for Goff to even still be in the league is remarkable. However while I'm sure he is superhuman and deserves every measure of praise for what he has managed to do, the culture, belief and staged advancement that dan campbell and the lions must have had to keep his head of the water might be the best example of a support network we've ever seen in professional sports. A moment I will never forget that I don't think is spoken about enough is after it took the DC Lions 12 games to record their first win - by a walk off touchdown by Goff as time expired - Goff immediately goes to Campbell on the sideline to celebrate with him. No endzone celebration, no pile of teammates, he found his guy. With all the hindsight we have today watching this juggernaut of a lions team seemingly poised to dominate the NFC for multiple years, that single show of joy as a culmination of all the struggles, trust, hard work and support in a win that only mattered to those people should never be forgotten as one of the greatest moments in sports. A simple moment where two men who put their careers, their reputations and every shred of desire and trust they had into each other, getting rewarded. If Dan Campbell and Jared Goff lift a lombardi trophy together, it will only mirror that moment. Everything they win will only be worth as much as that forgotten, scrappy 2 point win against a below 500 team.

[@JustFootball]

Yep, very well said. Everything about Goff, Campbell and the Lions is brilliant. An easy team to cheer for

[@connorgolden4]

Goff and the lions are just the most fun team around rn. They’re great to watch and I just love a hood comeback story. Goff has really shaped up to be a great QB at the lions and imo both the lions and rams won when they made that trade. The rams got a Super Bowl win and the lions got a great QB to build around in this epic rebuild.

[@advicegiant9433]

Jared took LA to the super bowl, he will win it in Detroit. Thank you LA for Brad Holmes, two first, one second and a quarter back that is the best in the league. With MVP considerations. Our time is finally now #OnePride

[@ZachPfeiffer]

That's my QB. I was skeptical at the time of the trade like a lot of Lions fans were, but the Lions FINALLY built a team around their QB and it got them one game from the Super Bowl. And this story isn't over yet.

[@JustFootball]

Shows the value of sensible and competent management, unlike what's going on with the Jets

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

Most of us were skeptical. The general consensus outside of the Lions organization was that they’d ride Goff for a couple years, draft a new QB then trade or release Goff. Fortunately for the Lions, we don’t make the decisions.

[@MrBetaKiller100]

As a Lions fan I think the trade might've been the most lopsided yet fair trades ever... The lions drafted themselves into becoming the program they always wanted, and LA and Stafford got their ring. In the short term LA got the sweat deal, and while the long term still has time to develop, the Lions seem to be in the drivers seat to arrive and win a super bowl soon. If the Lions get their ring, then the trade was an all around sucsess.

[@JustFootball]

@@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson Haha respect the honesty. I am also glad that Holmes is in charge, aha

[@andrewpeli9019]

Brad Holmes had a plan from the beginning. I have zero doubts that in 2021 Brad and Dan sat Goff down and told him that there was a plan and he was at the center of it. You don’t draft starters in the first 5 rounds of every draft, pick up starters in free agency, and have the best coaching staff and culture in the league by luck. There was a plan road mapped out from the first day Brad was GM.

[@JustFootball]

Absolutely, fans of the Jets and Browns can't believe what they are having to deal with, whilst Holmes and company are showing people how it is done

[@aquila519]

Seeing the Lions be a well ran organization truly is something special. They have probably had the best turnaround a franchise has ever had, they went from bottom feeders to being arguably the best team in the NFL.

[@OliOngNFL]

Nothing better than a feel good sporting story!!

[@JustFootball]

Agreed on that!

[@thestormofwar]

I think part of Goff's success in Detroit comes down to how they've been able to address his weaknesses and accentuate his strengths. Goff is fantastic at dissecting defenses, getting the ball where it needs to go with accuracy (and zip when necessary), and getting through his progressions. That said, dude isn't the best under pressure and he isn't too mobile. So Detroit became the ideal situation once Campbell, then Johnson took over the offense. They built around the O-line and running game to ease up on opposing pass rushes and the offense was then built to scheme their playmakers open. With that, Goff has that extra half a second to get through his progressions and the offense is now the best the league as of this writing. Amazing job by Detroit and fantastic resilience by the Goffather.

[@TheCountofToulouse]

I like Stafford and Goff, both are high quality guys, great character and both had bad runs with their first teams. An NFL career, unless you're Aaron Donald, is typically marked by highs and lows. Once McVay felt he could no longer communicate with Goff it was effectively over. You should do an in depth video about the Stafford trade because it reads like a movie script that NO ONE would ever believe. Stafford being in Cabo was some sort of divine intervention. On the day he requests the trade, he was crying and really out of sorts, Kelly (Stafford's wife) decided that they needed to get out of Detroit, just to clear Matthew's mind. They first tried to book a trip to the Caribbean, a favorite resort that they'd visited a bunch of times but the resort was closed due to bad weather so they called the travel agent to see if any place was open, there was nothing. The agent said she'd leave a deposit at several resorts in case any of them had a cancellation. At the SAME time, Les Snead is booked to go to Cabo (which has a BUNCH of resort, BTW) to hang out with Whitworth and McVay who left that morning but his wife convinces him to go to northern California where her family is having a big party for her fathers birthday. Les decides to go with his wife and calls the resort in Cabo to cancel his reservation. As soon as the receptionist gets off the phone, she looks at who is on the list of 'waiting' reservations and calls the Stafford's. They arrive several hours later and as they're standing in the lobby, waiting to get their room, Andrew Whittworth notices Stafford and walks up to him, after a brief conversation, he invites him to come down where he and his family are hanging out. 30 minutes later, Stafford meets with Whitworth and informs him that he just asked to be traded. Bare in mind, practically NO ONE knows about this at this point, the Lions put his name on the internal NFL trade boards but it was FRESH and most teams never even KNEW about it. Whitworth tells Stafford that Sean McVay would probably like to meet him and when Stafford asks where is, Whitworth points to a terrace where Sean and his fiance' are having lunch. Andrew sends him a message that reads something like "Hey, I'm down here with Stafford if you want to meet him". When McVay meets Matthew Stafford for the first time, the air was electric. They were dialed in with each other and McVay suddenly was speaking to someone that was as smart as he was, incredible memory recall and they sat up all night talking football. The next morning, McVay informs Snead that he wants to see what it would cost to get Stafford. Snead, is SHOCKED when McVay tells him "Stafford is f***ing HERE". Snead calls his old friend and former asst. GM, Brad Holmes and they begin hashing out the details. By this time, several teams have placed VERY strong bids, including the 49ers. Snead is determined to outbid them all as McVay is adamant that he can win a title if he can just get Stafford. As the GM's are finish the terms of the deal, both need owner approval to pull the trigger. Other teams are reviewing LA's offer and attempting to counter as Les Snead desperately phones Stan Kroenke, who at the time he takes the call, is on the tarmac in his plane. If he had taken off, he would not have been able to take that call and it's possible the Rams can't get the deal done before San Fran offers even MORE. Shannahan wanted Stafford BAAAAD and Snead KNEW it, Holmes had informed him that the market for Stafford was VERY hot. The deal get approved and an hour later, after all the documents are signed, Les Snead calls Matthew Stafford to inform him that he is now an LA Ram. Him and Kelly was both STUNNED. Only a day before, they were in Detroit and within 26 hours, they were making plans to fly to LA to start looking at houses. It's an astonishing story. When Rich Eisen was listening to the details of how that trade happened his quote was "No way, on planet earth does that really happen". All of this is beyond fortuitous as Stafford goes on to have his best year as a pro and wins the Super Bowl, the Rams 2nd title and he meets his best friend to boot. It's a story that no one would believe but it really happened.

I really can't think of any that are even close.

[@JustFootball]

Absolutely! Goff was essentially a throw away, but has turned into a franchise changer. One of the best trades ever

[@iamrichrocker]

Goff is another standout guy who kept his mouth shut, put his head down and just made his career his sole purpose..and another player, like Josh, had a coach who had his back..hard not to dislike Jared..am a Bills fan but love watching this guy be a warrior with Detroit..

[@uTubeNoITube]

Unlike most, I was not disappointed when hearing that we acquired Goff along with all those draft picks. Similar to many other QBs who started hot and sputtered out, sometimes a change of scenery/regime is all a guy needs to kick-start their career and send it on a new, winning path. As a long suffering Lions fan of over 30 years (I turned 40 today), I am super excited about the future of the Lions and hoping we win a Superbowl soon!

[@JustFootball]

So you should be! and yes, the comeback QBs have become a theme recently, but Goff definitely gets the crown

[@thestormofwar]

Sums it up I think. It was probably one of the most win/win trades in history. Rams got their ring, Lions got their capital to rebuild quickly.

A good lesson in how teams often pursue a rebuild the wrong way. Throwing rookie QB’s onto bad teams. Detroit went and got a veteran with upside, and used high draft picks on Oline and weapons to put around him. There are a lot of guys that would look good QB’ing this offense now, but not many that could have soldiered through the lean times with their confidence in tact. And Goff’s elite level efficiency is now shining through. He is processing faster than ever, to the point that he can beat pressure with his decision making and is allowed the freedom to do that within the offense. Guy is a solid dude and a great teammate. To compliment a Lions locker room that is as tight as any I’ve ever seen.

Goff has really shaped up to be a great QB at the lions and imo both the lions and rams won when they made that trade. The rams got a Super Bowl win and the lions got a great QB to build around in this epic rebuild.

And the Lions might get a Super Bowl form it as well! This year? If not, then soon after
