Madden 23 throws shade at Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff

Lions News Reports

When Madden 23 started dropping its player ratings earlier in the week, I knew that by the time it came to rating the quarterbacks around the league, Detroit Lions signal-caller Jared Goff would not be rated very high.

That being said, I did not think Goff would be rated below Teddy Bridgewater, Carson Wentz, Zach Wilson, and Justin Fields!

Could Goff winning a Playoff Game give him Long-Term security in Detroit?

One person who believes in Jared Goff is Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

“Yeah, man, I don’t see why not. Look, he’s playing pretty good ball now. Shoot, he was coming off his best performance of the season and then, unfortunately, he had COVID and he kinda had the knee injury, so he had to sit out last week. But, yeah, there’s no reason why—I feel like we’re starting to find our rhythm here, and we’re all starting to mesh collectively, from a coaching staff to the players as well. Just maximizing everything we have over here, and I just feel like we’re really improving. I feel like we’re finding identities. So, yeah, I don’t see why not. Look, he puts in the work, and all you can ask is for improvement from him, too. So I like where he’s going right now.”

Nation, where would you rank Jared Goff among NFL quarterbacks?
