Jared Goff is now the quarterback of the Detroit Lions. This came after a blockbuster trade between the Los Angeles Rams and the Lions. Just two seasons after taking his team to a Super Bowl the Rams were willing to move on from Goff who they drafted in 2018 out of the University of California.
Let’s take a look at how many times the Los Angeles Rams won games against teams with a winning record with Jared Goff as their starting quarterback.
I started to dive into this stat for every quarterback because the new hot argument is to say that a certain quarterback didn’t beat anyone good. I often see people use this argument to say players like Kirk Cousins and Matthew Stafford are not good and just put up empty stats.
First off and most importantly, quarterback wins are a team statistic. Secondly, very few quarterbacks in the NFL have a winning record against teams who finished the season above .500 in the league.
