He went to the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in February 2019 only to get traded shortly thereafter and replaced with Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. Even with the Lions, after a solid second season with the team, he was far from a favorite when it came to fantasy football picks in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s getting some respect. There\u2019s a new tally out of the best quarterbacks in the NFL following the 2025, and Goff is in there.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Best NFL Quarterbacks Heading Into New Season<\/h2>\n<p>NFL expert and analyst Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report has a May 7 feature out that names the NFL\u2019s best quarterbacks going into the 2025 season. In the feature, he notes that the high-profile quarterbacks of the 2025 NFL draft, such as Cam Ward, haven\u2019t quite earned their stirpes to be considered top quarterbacks in the NFL yet. But, others have absolutely earned that title.<\/p>\n<p>With the draft finally over, \u201cThis feels like an appropriate time to gauge the elite at the most critical position in American team sports,\u201d Gagnon states. \u201cUsing the old eyeball test along with a wide array of\u00a0common, rate-based and\u00a0advanced\u00a0statistics from\u00a0Pro Football Reference\u00a0and\u00a0Stathead, here\u2019s how we view the NFL\u2019s top 10 quarterbacks as the next phase of the 2025 offseason gets underway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gagnon praises 12 quarterbacks in the NFL, and Goff comes in at No. 7 on the tally. Sure, he could be higher, but considering that he wasn\u2019t even in the conversation a few years ago, it\u2019s a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Gagnon has some kind words for Goff but is also a bit harsh, stating that the quarterback is \u201cunique to this section of the list because he doesn\u2019t have the trajectory of the younger quarterbacks surrounding him on both sides. And frankly, it wouldn\u2019t take more than an awful 2025 campaign to cause him to disappear entirely from this list in 2026 a la Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Gagnon says that Goff is wowing with his numbers. He was the NFC\u2019s highest-rated passer in 2024, completing 72.4 percent of his throws. He also has a 128.9 passer rating on third down.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2025 \u2018Critical\u2019 for Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCVSkAY0Laj6nuq7vbBq3gYFmp7pMg4A9poA&amp;s\" alt=\"Can Jared Goff finally solve his Brian Flores problem?\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Goff and the Lions weren\u2019t able to get past the Washington Commanders in January, as Lions fans sharply remember. But, hopefully that will change this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it concerning that the 30-year-old threw three interceptions in a dud playoff loss to the Commanders? For sure,\u201d Gagnon stated. \u201cThe Lions will need him to improve on his career playoff passer rating of 85.1 or that regular-season success from the last few years won\u2019t amount to much. This is another case in which 2025 will be critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that a second article about the best quarterbacks in the NFL for 2025 from CBS Sports\u2019 Cody Benjamin names\u00a0Goff No. 9.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis steady, resilient hand finally proved too shaky in the Lions\u2019 stunning early-playoff exit, and now he\u2019s without revered play-caller Ben Johnson,\u201d Benjamin noted. \u201cStill, his old-school pocket passing has survived similar changes before. And Detroit still affords him one of the NFL\u2019s best offensive lineups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading into the 2025 NFL season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is finally getting some respect from NFL experts and analysts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
