Hall of Fame quarterback sees parallels between himself and Lions quarterback Jared Goff

The NFL has a quarterback problem right now, and it's pretty easy to see it. The Athletics' Zak Keefer did a really great piece earlier this season about how teams are failing their young quarterbacks and ditching them faster than ever before. On the flip side of that, you're seeing quarterbacks who everyone gave up on go to different teams and light it up way more than before.

Look at Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, Mac Jones, and Baker Mayfield. These guys were left for dead not long ago when their initial teams gave up on them, and so did football fans and media. The interesting thing is that these guys have been able to get themselves out of the shadows of all that. They're the comeback kids, and they're doing it on their own. It's not that they're just in the right situation for the first time in their careers.

For Jared Goff, he hasn't received that same praise despite the fact that he's played way better than those guys and he's done for years now. Why do people still view him as that 2020 version of himself? The guy who got benched for John Wofford and then traded away by Sean McVay. At least one guy outside of Detroit isn't seeing it that way.

Kurt Warner compares his story to Jared Goff's

"Haha… amazing how a few people or a move by one team can shape the entire narrative & perception of someone!!! 'Well, they benched him? They cut him? He must not be any good!! 'Sometimes it just doesn’t fit… sometimes the team wants something different… and sometimes they are just wrong." Warner said on Twitter. " It’s why I tweeted last week, don’t let someone else’s choices stop you from doing your due diligence on someone/something… It’s why I am where I am & I’m so grateful so many didn’t listen to other people's narratives & didn’t buy into the perception of a few!"
