          It really is amazing. When Goff started with the Lions I said he looked like a deer in headlights. Then about halfway though the first season it started to click for him. Went through some adversity. Now here we are two years later and he’s the boss.

            just might turn out to be the greatest Lions trade in history.

                I was saying at the time we got him he was at the same age Stafford was when Caldwell came around and Stafford's game improved. No reason the same couldn't happen for Goff. I definitely got some backlash for that opinion but I'm just glad he has done very well for Detroit.

                  Yeah Stafford started hot with the 5000 yards in the first full season, then struggled a little while after teams adjusted to him.

                    I think his three famous speeches/quotes are somewhat scripted as a theme for his team each year. That he came up with them when he was in the shower or whatever doesn't take away from why he says them or that he fundamentally believes in them, IMO. I don't think he writes them down word for word, but knows roughly what he wants to say.

                    When I coached, I'd have that shower thought about my team. I would rehearse in my head what I want to say, but the moment is when it all came together. It's genuine for that moment.

                        That moment usually happens around the fifth or sixth year for a QB, where the brain catches up to the speed of the game, and it all comes together. The issue is that moment doesn't always happen. Not every QB is able to take that next step. I would not have put money on Goff "getting it," but even when I was lowest on him I acknowledged if it did, he had all the tools necessary to be elite.

                        And damn has he taken that step. He's playing like an MVP right now.

                          I worked with a high school football team for about 20 years and the head coach was a big time speech giver. He had about some speeches that you had heard before. But to the kids it was new.

                            Yes, but he was the suckiest suck to ever suck.
                            Goff is THE MAN!

                              I’m already starting to see Dan Campbell mentioned as a Texas A&M wishlist candidate​​​​​​. You stay away from our HC!!

                              I won’t say it’s not going to happen because there’s some logical reasons. Such as Campbell being a Texas A&M alum... Possible lifestyle changes reasons (moving from Michigan to Texas).. Texas A&M has the money to offer the richest head coaching contract of all time … You can look at examples of NFL coaches jumping to college football for $$$. Nick Saban.

                              But yeah, don’t you dare try to go after Campbell, Texas A&M. Campbell is an awesome NFL head coach. No need to interrupt that.

                                Saban wasn’t successful in the NFL. Not sure if any successful winning coach went from NFL to college.
                                I don’t see it.
