The Detroit Lions have a new quarterback and his name is Jared Goff.
Goff, who was once the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft and has gone to a Super Bowl, is clearly a notch below former Lions QB Matthew Stafford but many analysts have already written him off.
One of those analysts is Chris Simms, who recently dropped his 2021 NFL QB rankings.
As you can see below, Simms has Goff ranked No. 31, behind Taysom Hill, Jameis Winston, Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Andy Dalton, and Mac Jones.
Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray at No. 6 and No. 7?
This, folks, is how you lose any credibility you ever had.
