To say there’s a cornucopia of quarterbacks in the MVP conversation would be a severe understatement. We’ve got San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes – the usual suspects. Let’s now talk Detroit Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff.
Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings makes a strong case for Goff by comparing him to former NFL quarterback, Russell Wilson. Regardless of how you feel about Russell Wilson, but 12 touchdown passes, zero interceptions through the first five games of a season. Those are the two (Goff and Wilson.) “Because of the style in which Jared Goff has to play in comparison to other quarterbacks.
We just never really give him the boost that we would give somebody that can extend plays with his legs. It looks a little more sexy. That is not Jared Goff’s game.
But what is his game is always going to be ‘Mr. Consistent.’ Completion percentage is always going to be there. Going to throw a lot of touchdowns.
A lot of yards.” On Wednesday’s episode of “Up & Adams,” host Kay Adams hopped in on the Goff for MVP conversation and made a solid case. People say ‘I’m not a Jared Goff guy’ – what does that even mean? He’s needed to play perfect ball to keep this team afloat, and hasn’t he?
He’s the second in NFL passing (297.0), 12 touchdown passes, zero interceptions, and the Lions have the highest scoring offense in the NFL as a result.” She pointed out that the only other quarterback to pull this off was 2019 Patrick Mahomes.
