I've been on Lions podcasts this week (shout out @LionsNationU and @Kajora ) And 8 days out from the draft, the most hotly debated topic that's kept coming up on the stream chat is Jared Goff & his contract We need to air this out properly, are you pro or con new deal & why?
@ROTL_UK @LionsNationU @Kajora I didn’t realize anyone was debating this. Pay the man. He’s done everything we could’ve asked of him so just hitch your wagon and let’s roll.
@ROTL_UK @LionsNationU @Kajora 100% pro. He's been very good for us, and above average, or better, QB's are very difficult to find.
@ROTL_UK @LionsNationU @Kajora The Lions spent too much time and resources crafting an offense specifically for Goff to then not give him a representative contract. Their play-action passing attack is set up perfectly for Goff's underrated ball-handling subtleties.
@ROTL_UK @LionsNationU @Kajora how can anyone be against a new deal for 16? He’s exceeded all expectations He was sent here for his career to die Ok he’s not mobile & isn't Mahomes But he’s accurate, consistent, rarely injured, great leader & teammate & is better mentally than ever That's a franchise QB
@ROTL_UK @LionsNationU @Kajora Pay him obviously but it can’t hurt the team they built for him. I’m sure they will do stuff with void years and such. He could avg 55 a year and it won’t necessarily hurt the team because of the way it’s structured. They just need to make sure they can keep the core together.
