Detroit Lions experienced quarterback Jared Goff has become one of the NFL’s top throwers during the past three seasons.
Following a challenging 2021, his inaugural season with the Lions, Goff has made significant progress and regained the level of play that assisted him in leading the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl appearance early in his career.
Currently, the NFL community is paying attention as he aims to assist the Lions in making their own Super Bowl appearance. In a recent ranking by Bleacher Report, author Brad Gagnon placed him seventh among all NFL quarterbacks.
“Jared Goff stands out in this part of the list since he doesn’t follow the same path as the younger quarterbacks next to him.” “Honestly, a disastrous 2025 season could lead to him vanishing completely from this list in 2026 just like Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford did,” Gagnon stated. For the moment, we are discussing a 30-year-old who achieved the NFC’s top passing rating by completing 72.4 percent of his passes for a Super Bowl hopeful in 2024. Goff recorded an astonishing 128.9 passer rating on third down, which isn’t entirely surprising for a seasoned player who has an impressive 102.7 passer rating since the beginning of the 2022 season.
Although he has recorded impressive statistics over the past three seasons and has shown composure under pressure, Gagnon highlights Goff’s showing against Washington as a point of worry.
The veteran has much to demonstrate, yet he has certainly positioned himself among the elite passers in the league as the 2025 season approaches.
“Should we be worried that the 30-year-old tossed three interceptions in a disappointing playoff defeat against the Commanders?” “Absolutely,” Gagnon stated. The Lions require him to enhance his career playoff passer rating of 85.1, or else the regular-season achievements from recent years will be insignificant. This is another instance where 2025 will be essential.
