Jared Goff

PositiveProjection0:00

Jared Goff has the potential for a 40-touchdown season given his consistent finishes as QB13, QB7, and QB11 over the last three years. He is a top contender to lead the NFL in passing yardage according to Vegas odds, and his favorable schedule—featuring a dome-heavy playoff run and the league's easiest strength of schedule—makes him a potential 'league winner' despite his lack of rushing upside. He is positioned to potentially replicate a high-ceiling passing season similar to Matthew Stafford's recent production, supported by a healthy Sam LaPorta and a developing Jameson Williams.

0:00I think there's a chance that we could
0:01see a 40-touchdown pass season out of
0:04golf this year. He's been the
0:06quarterback 13, the quarterback seven,
0:09and the quarterback 11 in three
0:11consecutive years. We've got this
0:13unbelievable offensive environment for
0:15him this year where we know about
0:17Amon-Ra St. Brown. Sam LaPorta is back
0:19on the field after missing time last
0:21year. Jameson Williams has taken
0:23multiple steps forward. We know how
0:24Jameson put up all those smash weeks.
0:26And then we look at how the Lions are
0:29made up this year where Cody, there's
0:31some problems in that secondary. This
0:32could be a shootout team. When you look
0:35at the the odds-on favorite to lead the
0:37NFL in passing yardage this year, Jared
0:39Goff is like towards the very top in the
0:42Vegas and really the all the odds-based
0:44market. So, for me, I feel like we're
0:47missing out on opportunity where nobody
0:49sort of talks about Jared Goff as a
0:51{quote} {unquote} league winner. And I
0:53understand that he doesn't have the
0:54rushing upside like we're chasing at the
0:55quarterback position. But sort of what
0:57are we doing here? You can wait on
0:59quarterback and get Jared Goff. I think
1:01he could be this year's version of 2025
1:03Matthew Stafford.
1:05>> I think you're you're nailing this thing
1:06here with Jared Goff. He's not a guy
1:08that I'm heavy in right now, but when
1:10you look at all the numbers, only one
1:12outdoor game the latter part of the
1:14season that comes in week 17 at Chicago,
1:17a divisional game. The previous six
1:19games, so your whole playoff run getting
1:20to the playoffs is a dome indoor game,
1:23right? And then you look at the
1:24quarterback strength of schedule,
1:25Detroit, number one.
