Former Cal star Goff is starting to get the recognition he deserves, but we'll see in Sunday''s game in Green Bay where he stands
Former Cal quarterback Jared Goff should be the frontrunner for the NFL MVP award, but observers have trouble getting on board with that.Well, he doesn’t have the flair of Patrick Mahomes, who is a highlight film favorite with his no-look passes and behind-the-back completions.
Goff doesn’t have the colorful personality of a Baker Mayfield or the youthful, up-and-coming appeal C.J. Stroud or Jayden Daniels.And people can’t forget that the Rams simply unloaded Goff after his disappointing 2020 season, giving away Goff, two first-round draft choices and a third-round pick just to get rid of Goff and get one player, Matt Stafford. It left the belief that Goff’s days as a starting quarterback in the NFL were over.
--The Lions are 6-1, their best start since 1956, and they are considered the best team in the NFC and possibly the entire NFL. For now those four have separated themselves from the field, with no other player having odds shorter than 10-to-1. Ten players received votes in the MVP balloting. C.J. Stroud was one of the 10. So were Myles Garrett and Matthew Stafford. But Goff did not get a single vote in a process in which voters make their top five picks.
