Jared Goff said the thing the world needs to hear after Lions win over Buccaneers

If you've followed my career covering the Detroit Lions for the last 11 seasons, then you know that the thing I say the most is that quarterback wins are not a real stat. It's because they just aren't. NOt for anyone. Not Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, nobody. I don't care if Mahomes had a super cool run or no look pass. He can't do anything without a line blocking, receivers catching, a defense, and special teams.

I plain loathe the idea that forty plus guys hit the field on game day and only one of them really gets the credit for it. That's why it was so refreshing after the Lions 24-9 win over the Buccaneers when Jared Goff agreed with that.

Jared Goff believes quarterback wins are not a real stat

"Wins get attributed as a quarterback stat a lot, but it's really a team stat." Yes! Someone get this guy on a plane to England so that he can be knighted by her majesty the queen. Throw a parade for him. Even if it's just down my street. I don't care. I'll make a float for this. Ryan Gosling will play him in the movie about this moment that shook up the sports world.

In reality, everyone will ignore it because it's the one stat that so many football fans and media members hold onto and spout it a lot. It is what it is.

I think it's safe to say that while Goff didn't have his worst game, he didn't go out and win this thing on his own either. Jahmyr Gibbs had a killer game and Amon-Ra St. Brown chipped in a lot too. Plus that defense went out there and held the Bucs to just nine points. Goff helped win this game, but sadly he'll be the only one it gets attributed to.
