Brad Holmes Backs Goff: Our Leader, Our Guy

Brad Holmes emphasizes that Jared Goff's leadership and skills make him the ideal quarterback for their team.

Though there wasn’t much doubt, the Lions have officially anointed Jared Goff as their franchise quarterback with a hefty extension earlier this offseason.

Brad Holmes’ Endorsement

In a fiery Thursday press conference, General Manager Brad Holmes, who was part of the Rams’ front office when they picked Goff at No. 1, expounded on the ripple effect Goff has on the team.

“He’s the right guy. He’s the leader for us,” Holmes passionately declared, his voice ringing like a touchdown celebration. “He didn’t need a contract to show his true grit on the field; he earned every bit of it. I haven’t seen a change in him. If anything, it’s like he’s been given rocket fuel! The continuity that Dan [Campbell] has brought to the coaching staff is worth its weight in gold. It’s allowed us to maintain a lot of familiar faces. I see only blue skies ahead.”

Growth and Continuity

Holmes didn’t mince words when discussing Goff’s growth trajectory. “It’s been amazing to see his evolution as a player ever since our days with the Rams. But let’s be real—he didn’t need the contract for motivation. He was already raising the bar, playing at an elite level. This extension is just another feather in his cap, adding to the camaraderie and stability we’ve built.”

  • Goff’s 2023 Stats: Threw for 4,575 yards with 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
  • Lions’ Record: Led Detroit to a stellar 12-5 season.
  • Postseason Performance: Completed 69% of passes for 837 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions across three playoff games.

Goff’s Meteoric Rise

Jared Goff, 29, clocked in an epic 2023 season, racking up 4,575 yards through the air, tossing 30 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. Leading the roaring Detroit Lions to a formidable 12-5 record, he was like a maestro orchestrating a symphony with each throw. When it came to the postseason, Goff was a maestro in his own right, hitting 69% of his passes for 837 yards and four touchdowns, all the while avoiding the dreaded interception like a nimble dancer.

The X-Factor

It’s not just stats that make Goff the undeniable heartbeat of the Lions; it’s his intangible leadership and relentless drive. Picture this: a quarterback who didn’t just ride the wave but built the surfboard and tamed the ocean. That’s Jared Goff for Detroit.

So, to all the fans out there who bleed Honolulu Blue and Silver, rest easy. With Goff at the helm, the Motor City is prepped to roar louder than ever before. As Holmes said, “It’s only going to get better,” and you better believe it will.
