The Lions are not in a “forward thinking” mode right now, they are in a win a Super Bowl THIS season mode.

I’m from the Detroit area, you don’t understand how much this city is starving for a Super Bowl, they don’t care about the future right now, they care about maximizing their window right now, this season.

So why is Goff signed through 2028? It's because they're building a roster to win now and in the future. You can do both. Having to build up a roster over years and pushing the chips in for one year is a recipe for continual rebuilds with a very high chance of not getting a Super Bowl win in your all-in year.

It comes down to getting a return that is greater than what they value him. You do that by hoping a team assumes the potential you speak of is an eventuality. Also, you look for a trade partner that is in desperate need of skill players who are willing to overpay (e.g. Panthers). Trading him can benefit the trade partner and the Lions at the same time.

2023 - gambling suspension 

2024 - PES suspension 

2024 - gun incident 

Too small a window for all that IMO.  I’d want to deal him too. 

If we trade for him, I can defend him for all that. 

 

If we don't trade for him, I can't believe the Lions would let him play with all that going on!

It's the reason they want to trade him before he does something else to get suspended from the league for a year. You do not want to trade for that kind of gamble.

The point is if the Lions believe he has that potential and think he can keep his head straight, then trading him isn't an option because of how good he'll be the next 2 years on a rookie contract.

And if they are the ones looking to trade him, it's because they don't believe that will happen, hence the red flag it raises.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
