Detroit Lions mailbag: Can Jared Goff recapture Rams magic with improved weapons?

It can be easy to forget that once upon a time Jared Goff was considered one of the best up-and-coming quarterbacks in this league. In 2018, he put together a phenomenal season—tallying 4,688 yards, 8.4 yards per attempt, 32 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions on the way to his second straight Pro Bowl and a Super Bowl trip.

Though he struggled in the championship game, he had enough trust from the coaching staff in Los Angeles to make him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks at the time. Even looking back at that season, a lot of what Jared Goff accomplished matches what Matthew Stafford did last year in his Super Bowl-winning season with the Rams.
