Poor Jared Goff.
Guy has a dominant playoff run with 0 turnovers in 3 games and stats that would be even better if not for 10 dropped passes.
He’s in the Super Bowl right now if his receiver catches a short pass in his chest.
And we’ve got people trying to McVay him.
Extending Goff after that second half would be a mistake. I understand the dropped balls and bad coaching decisions but in todays football you need improvisers at QB and he is just isn’t that.

He’s a disruptor, and a Top 10 EDGE (PFF).

Hutch is tied with Sam LaPorta as the least of the Lions’ problems.
