Dan Campbell Says the Lions Are Looking at QB Options
Jared Goff had an incredibly strong season last year, bringing the Lions to a winning record and closing out the season with some of the best quarterback stats in the NFL. Still, many like to speculate that Goff is still a “gateway” quarterback to bigger things down the road. Personally, I think Goff is our guy and that he has more than proved himself during the past season. I think it would be foolish to consider replacing him. He’s still young and is obviously bringing something to the Lions that we haven’t’ had in a long time: wins.
Now, Lions head coach Dan Campbell has finally thrown some meat to those hungry dogs wanting to hear some shade about Goff. Okay, so Campbell didn’t really throw shade at Goff, but you know that some fans will try to make something out of it.
In a new interview with Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Jared Goff and the QB situation facing Detroit: "We don't feel like we're pressed, but that doesn't mean our eyes aren't on a quarterback." @CBSSportsHQ pic.twitter.com/1XUeKPlaSh
“What he’s done is—and what we were hopeful and thought we were going to get—is a guy who, he’s our guy,” Campbell said. “He’s bought us time here. We believe we can win with Jared Goff. And in the meantime, we also know he’s not going to be here for the next 10 years. It’s not like Jared Goff is a rookie. So certainly our eyes are on potentially a quarterback.” He added, “The question is where do you acquire that at? And that’s something that Brad and I kick around all the time. But we don’t feel like we’re pressed right now. We don’t feel like we’re pressed, but that doesn’t mean our eyes aren’t on a quarterback.”
