We must pay Goff. There is no way around it. What Holmes said yesterday has me a bit concerned.
The window is small. In a few years many good young players on this roster will be a due a raise.
I don't want to hear about building. The building was accelerated with how well they did this year.
Now is the time to go get a dominant pass rusher. Trade that 1st rounder for a DE or a corner that will make a difference.
Just sucks the draft is in Detroit this year. lol.
The window is not small. As long as we have Brad bringing in quality players in the draft and have Dan running the show getting everything out of that talent, we will be putting out real contenders. It always takes a bit of luck to make it to the Super Bowl, but this team will be kicking people in the teeth for years to come.
That sounds like something Dan Campbell would say.
Windows are tiny in the NFL. The process is intentionally designed that way. The only way to trick the boogey man is with an elite QB.
The Lions are between a rock and a hard place with a guy like Goff at the helm (and having to pay him, no less). It's kinda like bringing a knife to a gun fight the way the NFL is currently landscaped with the best teams in the NFL having top QBs and also strong Ds.
Now you came from the Goff thread to the Lions thread to bash Goff?
I'd say that Goff stole his girlfriend but we all know that didn't happen.
Good one, LOL.
Not really bashing Goff. He's using almost all of his physical headroom (or upside). In that sense, I'm complimenting him.
The serious talk is centered around the decision to extend Goff, what to pay him, and if he's the type of QB to be able to lead a team to a title. If I'm bashing anyone, it's the Lions. This isn't a guy like Mahomes, where you want to lock him up as soon as possible.
I see comments like it's a foregone conclusion "we have to pay him now". No...that's not the case. What are the Lions worried about? See what Goff does next year against a 1st place schedule, see how Hooker develops, then pay him if you absolutely have to.
