NFL QB Rankings: Detroit’s Jared Goff, LA’s Matthew Stafford Land in Surprising Spot
Jared Goff really turned things around for the Detroit Lions this past season and played some stellar football. So, how did he rank in the final, NFL quarterback rankings from NFL.com?
Goff brought the Lions to the team’s first winning record since 2017. That said, it’s not a big surprise that he moved up the annual quarterback rankings- way up.
Marc Sessler of NFL.com puts together these quarterback rankings every year. Sessler ranks every QB to start a game. For the last season, Goff is listed as No. 8. How great is it to see him make the top 10? In comparison, Matthew Stafford is No. 22.
“Goff was a candidate for a sturdy campaign behind a rough-and-tumble line that planned to pound people on the ground,” Sessler writes. “Still, nobody expected him to torch defenses for 29 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. That included a nine-game pick-free streak to close the year, leaving Lions management to all but anoint the Rams castoff as their guy going forward.”
