As a Lions fan, I don't think Goff left plays on the table. I think Josh Reynolds left plays on the table. Now I love Josh Reynolds, but Goff gave him catchable balls that he just didn't catch.

I'm a Ravens fan and I can say with Pride Its been a real joy watching Lions play since Dan Campbell got there. They play like such pros but r also close like family! My definition of a team!

I literally teared up watching them talk about the Lions like this, this been a long time coming man 🥹

As a lifelong Lions fan, I give credit to the Owner, Sheila Ford, GM-Brad Holmes and H.C. Dan Campbell. They've put the right people in the front office and in the locker-room to make Gared Goff successful.

Jared took the rams to the sb and the lions to the nfc championship game… two deep playoff runs w different franchises is no fluke

Been a Lions fan for the last 35 years and couldn't be happier. Anyone who is a Lions fan and doesn't like this signing doesn't understand what we have in Jared

Not a lions fan but they built a great roster around Goff this was the cherry on top. Much deserved. You got the WRs, TEs, a top 3 O line (imo the best o line), the RBs, and the defense just got better lions are gonna be even hungrier next year

As a Lions fans, If anyone question this contract. I challenge you to watch last year's regular season game in Tampa Bay. Lions were quickly down to their 4th string RB after injuries mounted (Monty was out, Gibbs got hurt early and missed the rest of the game, and Z. Knight tore his ACL). Goff put the team on his back against another playoff team on the road and won with no running game. That was the game that made me a believer in Jared Goff not the 2 playoff wins. He does have some inconsistency in his game, he's not very mobile, not the strongest arm but he is the checkdown king. He almost broke the all time record for consecutive passes without an INT this season. Led a Top 5 offense the last 2 years. Top 3 in passing yards as well. He's put up numbers and won big games. It's also nice to see Shelia and the Fords pony up $440+ million dollars on 3 of our own cornerstone players while also spending in free agency (DJ Reader, Carlton Davis, Zeitler, and Davenport) while I see a lot of other team's players with their hands still out. Go Lions!

Buccaneers fan, after the Lions beat us in the playoffs i was rooting for them. Just b/c was the Lions doing well, doing something for all those fans that have suffered for years

Over the last 2 years Goff has thrown for over 9000 yards, 59 touchdowns to just 19 interceptions. Definitely deserved and definitely not an overpay once some of these other QB's start getting paid

Acho… It wasn’t Golf’s fault that receivers kept fumbling and dropping passes during that nfc champ game. Yes Golf is good enough to win a sb!

Goff and the Lions did more than you think last year. They won their division, they beat every team in the NFC South, they beat every team in the AFC West, they beat every team in the NFC North. They also beat every superbowl wining team from the last 5 years. And in 2023 Jared Goff led the Lions to beat every active superbowl winning quarterback's team. With the Lions, Goff has proven to be better than every active superbowl winning quarterback by beating them and their team last season. Pay the man.

As a ram fan glad to see him doing good after the trade it worked out for both teams

This deal is a little worrying for me long term for the cap, but in the near term, this team is absolutely loaded. For me, I think the Lions have 3 unknowns that they want to work out favorably in order to win a Super Bowl: 1. Jameson Williams takes the next step and become a good WR2 outside the numbers. 2. One of Davenport/Paschal/Houston becomes a high end 2nd Edge Rusher opposite of Hutch. 3. One or both of their drafted CBs (Arnold and Rakestraw) to become shut down starters beside Carlton Davis and Branch. If 2/3 or 3/3 of those things happen, then I think the Lions will win the Super Bowl. This team has immense talent EVERYWHERE. I personally have a hobby of doing draft and team evaluations for fun, and I'm just now finishing my positional group rankings for each team post-draft. This is how the Lions rank at each of my groupings: QB: 12th RB: 5th WR/TE: 9th OT: 1st iOL: 3rd (Although this group could seriously be 1st as well bc of depth, if Mahogany is as good of a prospect as I think he is) iDL: 3rd Edge: 11th LB: 12th CB: 17th S: 8th In my opinion, they are in the top half of the league everywhere except CB. And that unit could quickly become a top 10 unit if Davis bounces back to form and their rookies are good. Just a few unknowns. But overall the defense looks soooo much better. Their iDL could also be the best in the league with Mcneil and Reader. That's a NASTY combo and them + Hutch should really open things up for whoever their Edge 2 is. LB could also be much better than 12th if Campbell takes a step. I'm also still fairly high on Malcolm Rodriguez if he ever sees the field. Their safeties are a sleeping giant. Kerby needs to clean things up but he's a ball hawking monster, and Melifonwu was legitimately a top 3 safety over the last half of the season.

Niners, Lions, Ravens, Chiefs… all the most physically dominant teams in the league and it’s no surprise those were the 4 best teams last season. I won’t be surprised at all if that’s the final 4 again

his defense sold his nfc championship game, he could take the lions to a sb

The city has never been happier. Tears of joy during this tenure

I’ve watched a few segments back to back and in every single one Shady has twisted it and found a way to bring up himself and how great he was

One thing they gonna do is throw dak into a convo😂

Now let me just say I'm so proud of this after how goff turned the lions around last season he definitely deserved this the lions are definitely on their way congrats to Goff 😊👏👏👏 he's been amazing since the Rams

We riding with Goff ,love everything about this let’s go Detroit

MCDC + Jared Goff and team= Super Bowls

Dave is the 🐐 of show. Reporter that knows stats, cap, draft, trades, positional schemes from years following camps. Dude is under valued and deserves own seat permanently. 🎉🎉🎉 Joy talks in generalities, and better off as moderator and partial panelist. She ain’t going up to the big board to evaluate plays, or high level free agency scenarios. .

If you have the ability to get to the Supwr Bowl, you have the ability to win it...

Who remembers goff in that mnf shootout with rams vs chiefs pats 50 and 5000 year ..only reason why he got inconsistent is bc cooper kupp was dealing with injuries by the time he fully healthy stafford was the qb

Goff went to the super bowl with LA. He can do it in Detroit

Lions fan here. That extension is a Godsend. Jared has been through it all and he much so deserve every penny. Now he has to live up to it and he will. Its one game at a time.

Great news!!! My lions are doing all the right things. They will write a movie about this franchise when we win the super bowl this year. Great dayto be a lions fan!

As a 49ers fan it is dope seeing the lions finally making good on draft picks, coaching, and overall culture. NFC is going to be very very interesting

Jared Goff simple: was given time to DEVELOP

Detroit been waiting and now things are looking good!

Matthew Stafford never took the lions to the NFC championship So there you go

"Bias aside" for sure James 🤣

Good Take On The Expectations James. 🎯

$53 million a year? Okay Lions, now you have to win it with Goff!

Our defense beat us more than anything in the NFC championship game. Our def was ranked 30th and it's going to be in the top half of the league this year so we'll be hard to beat

As a niners fan,I disagree that Goff left any plays on the table and could've been the Lions in the bowl.

The was the greatest trade in the history of the NFL, Rams wanted to win right now, Lions wanted to build a future. Win win

As a lifelong Lions fan, just hearing the words Lions and Superbowl in the same sentence is like a dream come true.

He can but Detroit's defense is the problem

It’s not that Goff is worth that much individually. It’s that the QB position is that valuable, and Goff is talented enough and is the best chance the Lions have to win right now. He’s an extremely accurate passer. With the talent around him, that makes him a top 5 QB… all that together can and will win a Super Bowl.

I was skeptical of the team giving Jared Goff an extension but I've come around the last few days. He has been good for the Lions and the City of Detroit. Now he needs to take the team to a Super Bowl.

Jared Goff is definitely capable. He proved last year he was capable. But the team wasn't. They are missing some pieces.

If Goff wins a superbowl he’s going down as a better qb then stafford hands down! And a hall of famer💯💯

Joy made some good points. Its not just about Superbowls.

Let’s all make money!!!!💰

Great Take!

Let’s not forget Goff went to the Super Bowl his second year against Tom Brady and how old was Goff?

Goff just doesn’t throw the deep ball. I’ve seen Jamo & Sun God wide open deep down field and Goff will throw the check down to Gibbs or Laporta.

Jared Goff 5 playoff wins. Lamar, Dak, Cousins 5 playoff wins combined. Goff 30,500 pass yards & 500 rush yards. 185 pass tds. 12 rush tds. 5 playoff wins. 8 playoff tds. 2 playoff ints... Lamar 16k pass yards and 5k rush yards. 125 pass tds. 29 rush tds. Lamar 2 playoff wins. 6 playoff tds. 6 playoff ints. Lamar 0 seasons over 3,800 pass yards and 1 season over 28 pass tds. Goff has 6 seasons over 3,800 pass yards. 4 seasons with 28+ tds passing.

as an eagles fan , shady would be better if he wasnt so biased towards eagles

Love this, let’s go baby, one pride 🦁 And have to say, this is probably the most entertaining style of discussion in a sports talk show. Amazing questions and commentary

At this point winning a Super Bowl probably means going toe to toe with Pat and nobody can really do that so it’s kinda a pointless distinction.

2015 detroit had a beast of a team with calvin, stafford, su and a bunch more, coaching and front office was a bit shaky, couldnt beat the refs against dallas in the playoffs, difference between then and now is that was that teams peak, i dont think we have seen what this team is capable of. This team shows alot more resilience than 2015, deroit cant just expect to be a little better and have similar reaults, everybody knows what there about now so teams are gonna be bringing there a game, bottom line is they gotta do better or its right back to sol for there legacy. Had generational talents with sanders and calvin, hopefully Campbell can be a generational coach and seal the deal with a sb ring but if not its still a fun ride and i will always be a lions fan. One pride.

54 million a year is kinda crazy

Goff mobility and arm strength? Lions fan here but he needs elite protection and support. Worth 50plus? Im surprised Brad made this signing...

Jordan Love is going to cash in seeing this deal

Put the team on his back is insane tbh,he has a top 1 offensive line,Amon Ra & a top 3 TE,with a top 5 RB duo & the best OC in the game,he’s in the best situation in the NFL

Jared Goff is an elite Game manager, can he play better I don’t know.. we’ll see but I think he’s earned a top 10 pay for sure

Goff went to Detroit, not even as a QB, but as a placekick holder. He wasn’t even a factor in the trade. He’s done an amazing job of proving himself after being disrespected by McVay. 2 NFC championships and a Super Bowl and rebuilding his career deserves huge RESPECT! 🏈✌️

Offense or Goff wasn’t an issue in the NFC championship… they put up 31 points… it was the defense giving up 34 unanswered points… Goff no doubt is the guy for Detroit

Barry played 10 years 20 years total in football. He retired, he played long enough. Calvin was physically shot after 9 years. If he really wanted to go to another team and play all he had to do was show up at training camp and his massive contract would have destroyed the Lions cap cause they had already spent his cap space in 2016 and they’d have to release him. He didn’t want to play anymore, he had a bad knee, back and he just revealed a couple year ago he had a ton of u diagnosed concussions.

Nothing but love for Goff in Detroit. Dude earned his bag

I'm not a lions fan but Jared goff deserves this

That’s the biggest point: he’s not making that money for the past. We aren’t talking about a guy with just a couple more years in him. He’s arguably in his prime while you’re paying him. That’s as ideal as possible. Aaron Rodgers is making money because what he’s done, with low expectations we’ll ever see anything close to his prime again.

Brad Holmes got 2 1st round picks and Goff for Stafford. Can we all agree both teams benefited. It rarely happens both teams got better! I'm glad Matthew got a ring BUT we want one too!

I don't like the word better he was a top 10 QB in every stat and 2nd in passing. Two big drops and one fumble cost us that 49ers games

Lions fans know that Jared Goff didn’t lose us that NFC Championship game. We lost because of our secondary and those drops by the receivers.

This is what I want seee on this show! Kickin straight facts from the pros!!!

As niners fan we love it Goff is 0-6 vs niners in last 6 game love it

As a cowboy fan yes I think he can he has done it before

Congats to Jared Goff. I'm really happy for him and the Lions.

They didn't "draft Goff and say he wasn't good enough" - they watched him run around scared in a Super Bowl. OF COURSE they'll get rid of someone who's scared to play.

For the first time ever, us Lions fans can say with full confidence, Super Bowl or bust

Goff and Lions fans stand tall!

Never thought I’d see the day that Shady would be riding with Detroit

Shady accuracy is scary 😱 good krazy work

Jared Goff is good solid QB. Now does he deserve 53 mil? No! But that’s the market it’s the going rate. Now Goff is a QB you win with and not because of. If you ask Jared to fit the team and be the bus driver he is not your guy. But if you tell him "hey man you can drive the car but no speed and don’t crash my car" he is your guy.

From Top down. Lions are straight up serious contenders. The Lion's best unit I've seen ever seen.

Taking the Detroit Lions franchise to a 12 win season, win the division and make the playoffs.. was way more than taking any other franchise to the NFC championship game 😁

As a real lions fan we love it, he deserves it changed the Team Around wanted to be here, he was the scape goat in LA but our Savior here

Dude your so wrong 30 minutes from a superbowl appearance and the dude with the slippery fingers is gone that cost us that win

Jared did all he could to win in the NFC championship. He didn’t drop the ball and he didn’t fumble it either. This contract also will be like 10th highest paid in a year

He moves around well and should stay healthy. That's valuable. I know it's too late but would like to see Chiefs v Packers on opening night.

And Stafford accomplished more in one year with the Rams than Goff did in his entire time there. Just stop.

Acho makes a great point. Goff didn't lose game, yet he left a few plays on the field. Go lions!

8:22 herbie lo key 2nd behind mahomes if we comparing the individuals cj Stroud reminds me of him alot too

Jared played good enough to get us to superbowl. Reynolds dropped 2 first down. Reynolds cost us superbowl

Been lions fan for sixty years last year was great but let's see what happens this year.

GOFF represents the LIons well. He was given up for dead and then battled back (GRITT) to greatness, and maintains his humility and is still hungry! He is a good face for the city of Detroit. PS - He has beaten Patrick Mahomes twice now.

Lol Shady What are you smoking or breathing 😂

People forget golf played with his hand throwing injured in the super bowl with the rams

I think it's possible. He's def got the weapons around him. And that defense is solid.

We’ll be in the SB this year. I’m positive of it.

I’m. It happy about the deal

Goff couldn't finish the job. Goff did do more in Detroit. But Stafford was able to finish the job and hold that Lombardi. I can't wait for thebRams to play Detroit this season.

Campbell is the only reason why the Lions 🦁 didn’t get to the Super Bowl 🍲 last season. Paying Goff was smart he’s the future of the lions.!! If they get back to the NFC championship game . I just hope Campbell learned his lesson.!! Finally packers/Lions are the top teams in the NFC now not the 49ers/Cowboys/Eagles.

Contrasting McCoy talking about Goff and Dak makes it hard to trust anything he says.

I'm so tired of talking heads criticizing Campbell for his gambling style. Yes, he takes risks that most coaches wouldn't, and sometimes it doesn’t work out. Yet, it is precisely his risk-taking and belief in his players that brought the Lions from the depths of the league to becoming Super Bowl contenders. Also, don't forget that if not for a couple of dropped balls( not Goff's fault), they would have been in the Super Bowl against a Kansas City team they had already beat.
