Sources said that despite the strong and compelling words of his head coach, Jared Goff is not in immediate danger of losing his starting job. The assessment of the future is ongoing.
After two tough games and two losses, in Detroit this week, Gove's work status has been the object of criticism. This situation accelerated when head coach Dan Campbell said that Gove "needs to do more than him." Campbell clarified that others need to do the same, but the lightning rod has been hit.
When Gove was about to face his old club, the Los Angeles Rams, he came under fire.
For the Lions clubs that have not won and rebuilt, there are two concurrent goals.
First, give them the best chance of winning QB. So far, that's Gough. There is no conversation in the building about giving Gove a bench in support of David Bluff. If the struggle continues, maybe in the future. But not now. Gove doesn't have endless ropes, but he does have many.
2. Who is the best QB in the future? These assessments are still in progress and no conclusions have yet been reached. Gove has important guarantees in 2022-$26.15 million-if he is not the future, things will get complicated. Detroit needs to deal with issues at another time.
Goff had a very solid practice week, which raised his hopes of rebound.
At the same time, when Gove was preparing to face his old club, an interesting fact surfaced, which added context for him to lead the Los Angeles team into the Super Bowl after the 2018 regular season. Gove played all 16 games that season, and his team scored a career year with a 13-3 record.
Gove did all this while dealing with a previously unknown foot injury that broke out that season. According to sources, Gove actually had foot surgery after the Super Bowl season.
Essentially, the pain caused by the fracture of the fifth metatarsal broke out that season. The team installed a custom orthosis for him. He finished it and didn't miss any time.
After the season is over, the Rams hope that rest and recovery, as well as inactivity, will heal it. But it came back at the end of the OTA. So, surgery.
During the operation, the doctor put a screw inside to fix the fracture, and Gove healed faster than expected during his time in the camp. Demonstrating tenacity and flexibility, Goff is rarely praised for this performance.
Now as his performance becomes the focus, this mentality will be necessary.
