The Lions have built a playoff team. Not quite a Superbowl caliber team but a good team nonetheless. Letting Goff walk and drafting his replacement is risky. You never know how long it will take for a young guy to develop into a good quarterback. It could set them back and maybe even ruin any chance of a Superbowl appearance if they draft the wrong guy. With Goff you know what you're getting. And he's certainly capable of winning enough games. Who knows, maybe he could pull a Flacco or Foles and get hot at the right time.

Goff has the same, if not better weapons around him as he did with the Rams. Montgomery and Gibbs in the backfield. Neither are Todd Gurley but both together are the equivalent. If they remain more healthy than Gurley that's a plus. He's got no Kupp but St. Brown, Williams, Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond are plenty. I don't know what Peoples-Jones will bring but that's not a bad receiving corp. LaPorta is already a better receiver than Higbee or Everett. Good enough for them to trade Hockenson. How good he is at blocking is unclear to me but I doubt he's on Higs level there. Lastly, he's got a good young OL. That group (WR, RB, OL, QB) should do well if they're together for the next 2 -3 years. It could be the only clock ticking for Goff is the one that asks, when will you get back to the SB?
