Lions GM: Jared Goff Proved He's Our Starting QB

Jan 11, 2023 8:31 AM

Jared Goff helped lead the Detroit Lions to a 9-8 record this season, their first winning campaign since 2017.

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. "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."
