NFL Quarterback Rankings Week 7: Jared Goff Is Playing Elite Football
Sometimes, narratives need to be shattered as the data changes.
For the last few years, Tua Tagovailoa and Jared Goff were seen as just parts of their offense—sometimes positive, and at other points restrictive. The Dolphins and Lions were both above .500 in 2022, but neither was seen as a real threat.
Fast forward to the present. Miami and Detroit are a combined 10–2, and you would be hard-pressed to name a pair of quarterbacks playing better ball. Tagovailoa and Goff are slinging it, armed with excellent schemes, terrific receivers and a level of talent that many thought they may not have.
