“Bust.” “Overrated.” “Overpaid.” These terms and many more were ones used near the end of Jared Goff’s time with the Los Angeles Rams. Sure, he was the captain of a Super Bowl team and had a few nice seasons, but it was becoming increasingly clear that he was a major weak point in a juggernaut team. To offload him, they gathered him and a few first round picks to send to the Detroit Lions for, mainly, Matthew Stafford. Goff was in an “on a cruise ship heading for the Island of Misfit Toys” type of situation, being seen as nothing more than a cap dump to help the Rams build towards a ring. And, like a cap dump, Jared Goff has…led the Lions to the brink of contention. Huh. Well, he’s trash, right? Detroit had some ungodly talent that has dragged Goff into high-ranking society again, has to be. He has his highest passer rating since 2018, the year he took L.A. to the championship? Shoot. He’s cooking, he’s on fire, whatever you want to call it, he’s been dealing like his old self. The biggest question on my mind is this: how? How did Goff, when at first glance was put in a much worse situation, bounce back into his prime form that was last spotted four years (I know, doesn’t feel like it’s been that long) ago?
