Jared Goff: Is It Time To Retire The Jared Goof Nickname?

Jared Goff: Is It Time To Retire The Jared Goof Nickname?

The OG Vendetta readers know by now that I’m not exactly a Jared Goff fan. If anything, that’s kinda putting it lightly. There are several articles on the site where I just blatantly refuse to call him by his correct name. Instead, there are posts just littered with me calling the Lions quarterback, Jared Goof.

I am putting this up to the reader. In fact, I’ll insert a poll in here so people can vote on it.

.@treydaubert refers to the Lions quarterback as Jared Goof.

Is the nickname fair or should he be banned from using it?

Which name is better?

Goff is still going to have his goof moments, but he’s come a long way. A very long way. Winning with the Lions is hard. Nobody has ever really done it in my entire lifetime. The Cal product is coming off a season where he completed a career-high 67.3% of his throws. He also posted a 30-12 TD to INT ratio and led the Lions to a near Super Bowl appearance.

At the same time, the Rams won a Super Bowl with Matthew Stafford and it’s pretty obvious Goff wouldn’t have been enough to get them over the hump. He also has a propensity for making some of the dumbest plays imaginable. The trade was a true win-win on both sides kind of trade.

Why Is Jared Goff Never On The Hot Seat?

The Goof nickname might be harsh. Goff has proven he is a legitimate starting quarterback. You can do way worse than him. Still can’t play fast but the guy honestly throws a nice ball. He deserves more credit than I used to give him. He’s also improved too.
