RandyMarsh Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'm treating anything we get from him as found money but Campbell says that Levi is on track to return to training camp from his back surgery and all signs have been positive about his recovery.

Even with him being at the weakest position group on the roster, I'll be surprised if he makes it past final cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the safe bet but maybe we'll get lucky and this surgery will have cured the ailments holding him back the last couple years and now he is free to fulfill the potential we had in him when we drafted him in the 2nd round. Not counting on it or expecting it but atleast it sounds like there could atleast be a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagnam Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 This seems like a no-brainer to me. I bet there are 100’s of players who have no idea if they are ok or not. If the league decided to look it would be a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I mean he doesn't have to say anything, the fact that he came out and openly said that unsolicited makes me think that there is truth to it, atleast in Campbell's eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagnam Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 We get a story how Goff is essentially in the best qb shape of his life and then one where he’s being outperformed by our defenses. That’s either very good news or very bad news … or offseason fluff that should be completely ignored. Who know which it is?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if practicing against a better pass D makes a better pass O, but I believe it does does work the other way - more likely to get to a good pass D when it has to practice against a good pass O.

Motown Bombers Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 "The most notable nugget of Dan Campbell’s morning news conference came when discussing Goff. This is a quarterback who made two Pro Bowls and took the Rams to a Super Bowl before joining the Lions. And yet, Campbell said he believes Goff is even better now. “We ask him to do a lot more, in my opinion, than what they were actually doing out there,” Campbell said. “They had a lot of pretty good pieces out there as well, as we know. Damn good defense, all of those things. But I just feel like — I know from speaking with him and then watching him really over the last two years … we put a lot of things on him where I am not so sure that was ultimately what they were doing.” Don’t read that as a slight. It wasn’t. Campbell genuinely believes Goff has matured as a QB, leading to strong play while carrying more on his plate. Goff agrees. “I think as you get older and get more mature in the league that happens, and I’d certainly say so,” Goff said Tuesday. “I think I said that a handful of times last year, that I thought I was playing the best football of my career and plan on continuing to do that.” When Goff was traded, the narrative out of L.A. was that Sean McVay’s offense got the most out of Goff, and the limitations in his game forced the team to move on to Matthew Stafford. But now that Goff has had a Pro Bowl season with a new franchise, while having more of a say in the offense, taking better care of the football and taking on more of a leadership role, that narrative might need to be put to rest. Viewed as a stopgap by fans when he initially arrived in Detroit, Goff now has the respect of the locker room and quarterbacked a top-five scoring offense last season. Campbell noted Goff’s strong grasp of the offense, the protections, where the issues are, how to check into better looks — all the things that come with time as a QB. General manager Brad Holmes said there have been internal dialogues about a contract extension. The Lions simply feel he’s on top of his game. “I think he has settled in with us,” Campbell said. “He has gotten very comfortable with what we want to do. … Everybody knows what he came from and that wasn’t the easiest thing. … He hung in there, and I think what you are seeing is a guy who just put his head down and went back to work and worked on what he could, tried to improve on what he could, and now his confidence has really grown, and along the way he has matured as a quarterback.” https://theathletic.com/4586957/2023/06/06/lions-minicamp-observations-jared-goff?source=user-shared-article Campbell's comments had nothing to do with OTA and never mentioned what shape Goff was in. This was an observation made over two years with the team and his play on the field bears that out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
