Here's why some people (myself included) are concerned about Goff long term: 1. He played noticeably worse in road games this year. Now that obviously wasn't only on him... there are other factors involved. But it's a pretty big split between home and away. 2. He doesn't have great arm strength. Many of his deep passes end up short of the receiver. That said you are right that he has a lot of good traits... protects the ball, great leader, accurate on short/medium routes, good decision making. I'm not saying that the Lions should use a high pick... in fact I am saying I don't want them to use a first round pick on a QB this year. But I think there are definitely areas where Goff is lacking. This is normal of course... it's pretty rare to have a player with zero negative areas.

Now that the season is over, I don't think there's any question that Hutchinson had the biggest impact of the three. He played in the most games, had the most solo tackles, had the most sacks (more than both the other two combined!), had the most INTs. But, could we make the case for Hutch being DROY? Here's one article from early December that seems to rank him 3rd: https://withthefirstpick.com/2022/12/08/rookie-watch-2022-nfl-2/ And just for the fun of it... here's some Hutch Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh3MV3Dko4U

Obviously over simplifying here as there are nuances and lots of details to consider, but: On a scale of 1 to 5... 1 = Only if we can get him dirt cheap. 5 = Break the bank if we need to. Williams - 4: I think he fits what Campbell wants in a player. Chark - 1: Resign only if we can get him for cheap, which we probably can't. Jaymo fills the Chark role so don't need to over spend here. Cominsky and Buggs - 3: Levi is a lost cause I'm afraid. Need some vets on in the inside. We'll probably draft a DT, but having depth and vet leadership here will help. But don't spend too much. Anzalone - 4: This is based more on the absolute lack of talent at LB vs. Anzalone being that good. Eliot - 4: Walker will hopefully be coming back but's clear we need depth here.

It was a great finish to the year... no doubt about it. Lots to look forward too next year. And the best part is we still get to be excited about a high draft pick in the first round without it being because the team sucked.

I'm pretty sure you are correct.

2018, so not very long ago.

A lot of Lions fans there... I'm impressed.

Woot!!!!!!!! Fun, fun, fun game to end the season. Bring on 2023!

I was wrong. I was wrong.

Kick it. Get the 7 point lead.

3 yards... just 3 yards.

HOLY SHIT!

Well... technically the Safety got the INT, not the CB. 🙂

INT!!

Surprised they didn't call that a late hit.

We need a take away.

AO is in at CB? Well... it was a nice start to the game I guess. 😞

The injury to Swift should have been a penalty too. Swift was essentially tackled and was on his knees, head up... a defender came in and put a hard forearm right in his facemask, snapping his head back. Could have been a serious injury.

Walker was kinda leaning in to see what was going on with Swift. The trainer put a hand on him to move him back so he could get in and then walker pushed the trainer in the back.

Oh goodness Swift... that was ugly looking.

Nope. This certainly doesn't help with him home/away splits.

Collinsworth is really slobbering over Rodgers isn't he?
