Why Detroit Lions are all-in on Jared Goff at QB: 'I never really deemed him as a bridge'

Two years after they took his contract to help facilitate the Matthew Stafford trade, the Detroit Lions are ready to go all-in on their future with Jared Goff.

At least that’s the strong impression Lions coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes have given after Goff capped the self-admitted best season of his career by leading the Lions to a 20-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers that gave the franchise its first winning record in five seasons.

Campbell called Goff “a perfect fit for what we do and what we ask,” and referred to him as “our quarterback” in recent days, and Holmes said at his end-of-season news conference Tuesday, “I don't really know what the decision is” to make about Goff’s future.
