He’s apologized and there is a video of him upset at his actions. But this isn’t his first issue with this. Hope the kid figures it out.

He also got ejected vs Buffalo for pushing a guy helping him up. I don't know of anybody else that's ever been ejected for pushing a member of the other team that isn't even a player. And this punk did it twice in his rookie year.

He obviously hasn’t done this sort of thing against the Rams as if he had the Rams staffer would have been ejected from the sideline and the Packers given 15 yards.

I just wanted to congratulate a good guy and good QB Jared Goff for having such a great season. We all get pushed to the extremes, sometimes, when debating a controversial subject and trading Goff for Stafford was one such topic. I was and still am for the trade that brought Matthew Stafford to the Rams, but that doesn't mean Jared is garbage. They gave him some weapons and a good Oline and he led the Lions over divisional power, Green Bay Packers, twice. That is impressive, so good job Jared.

Lions GM: Goff proved he's starting QB for us

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said the team would make sure "every stone is turned" as they prepare for the draft, but said Jared Goff proved to everyone that "he's the starting quarterback for us."

Detroit Lions GM backs Jared Goff: He proved he's our starting QB​

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Before exiting Lambeau Field on Sunday night, quarterback Jared Goff took a victory lap around the stadium to slap hands with Detroit Lions fans who were hanging around to celebrate.

After leading Detroit (9-8) to its first winning season since 2017, which included a 20-16 win over the Packers on the road in the finale, Lions general manager Brad Holmes said he feels Goff has proved to be the franchise's quarterback moving forward.

"I think it's a lot easier to get worse at quarterback than to get better in this league," Holmes said during his end-of-season news conference Tuesday. "So, I think what Jared has done this year, he captained the ship of a top-3 offense, and he was top-10 statistically in most of the passing categories.

"And again, you know how we approach the draft," he added. "We're never going to turn down a good football player, so if it's a football player we love, we're going to make sure every stone is turned. But I do think that Jared has proven to everybody that he is the starting quarterback for us."

After returning to Detroit on Monday, Goff and teammates cleaned out their lockers and he reiterated, "I've loved my time here." He said he hasn't been approached by the front office about his future in Detroit, but added, "We'll see."

"It feels great because I've been on the flip side of that to be in a place where you are appreciated," Goff said. "It feels good. And again, these people here, it's just a special place and I'm proud to be a part of it."

Goff is signed through 2024, but the Lions will incur $10 million of dead money on their cap if they release him after this season, meaning they could do so without much financial consequence if they wanted to go in another direction.

But Holmes said the team never viewed Goff as a bridge quarterback. While on the Los Angeles Rams staff, Holmes was integral in drafting Goff as the first overall pick in 2016 and stood by him even through the low moments.

"I don't really know what the decision is," Holmes said. "I was always confident in him because I've been with him from the get-go from since he was drafted, back when I was with L.A. I just kind of know how resilient and how mentally tough he is. I think a lot of it was me knowing all the success he had in L.A. I think that was kind of forgotten about a little bit when he got here, and I think he was put in a very tough situation."

Although they fell short on the final day after a late postseason push, the standard in Detroit is now to reach the playoffs, according to Holmes. That hasn't happened since 2016.

Detroit holds the sixth pick (from the Rams) and the 18th pick in the upcoming draft, where quarterback options are expected to be available.

With Goff as the starter, the Lions climbed out of a 1-6 hole to win eight of their last 10 games.

Goff also went nine straight games without an interception and posted the fifth-longest streak in NFL history with 324 consecutive passes without a pick. In just his second year in Detroit, he set franchise marks for the lowest interception rate (1.2 percent) and the highest touchdown-to-interception ratio (4.14), which prompted coach Dan Campbell to tab him as "our quarterback" after the Packers win.

"He's played great. He's really a perfect fit for what we do and what we ask," Campbell said at Green Bay on Sunday night. "I think the true sign of a pro is somebody who can take the coaching. He can look at himself in the mirror, he knows where he needs to improve, he listens to what recommendations you have to get better, and he goes at it now. He doesn't shy from it; he doesn't get sensitive. He just wants to be good. That's our quarterback."

He finished 1st in Int% among QBs who threw 500 or more passes. The Lions were #3 in yards and #4 in offensive points scored.

That was the thing about the debate that irked me the most, the insistence that Jared was garbage, that he was lazy, that he got a hot GF and lost his drive to be good, that we as no better than a JAG, etc.

I'm still for the trade too, as Stafford showed himself to be elite and I do think peak Stafford is better than peak Goff. But Goff showed he was pretty GD good when he's put in the right situation, and that was something McVay increasingly failed to do for him during his last year in LA. The contrast between 2020 Goff in LA and 2022 Goff in Detroit bears that out.

And I think with what Goff has done this year in Detroit has established him near the upper end of the tier that is one level below elite.

He still fumbles too much

LOL. The last 11 games he threw 1 pick and lost 1 fumble (of 3), so he turned the ball over twice and was only sacked 11 times. While he threw for more than 2800 yards, 18 TDs and a 104.8 QB rating. They went 8-3 and the defense allowed 96 points in those 3 losses. Hey, I'm glad we made the trade....Stafford is an upgrade.....but the kid showed he's got skills outside of McVay's umbrella. Good for him.
