NFL QB Index: Ranking all 62 starting QBs of the 2021 NFL season (23. QB Jared Goff (2021 stats: 14 games | 67.2 pct | 3,245 pass yds | 6.6 ypa | 19 pass TD | 8 INT | 87 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 9 fumbles) (2020 final ranking: 22 | 2019: 20 | 2018: 7 | 2017: 15 | 2016: 32):  Goff made due with a rag-tag group of receivers led by fourth-round rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown and a bunch of castoffs. A strong offensive line and aggressive coaching staff gives Goff a chance to improve in his second season with the Lions, but he's settling into a career as a starter just below the Dalton Line. If Goff is your guy, the search continues for The Guy.) (54. QB Tim Boyle (2021 stats: 5 games | 64.9 pct | 526 pass yds | 5.6 ypa | 3 pass TD | 6 INT | 13 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 1 fumble) (2020 final ranking: N/A | 2019: N/A | 2018: N/A):  That famous Boyle arm strength everyone talks about didn’t show up in three steadily improving regular-season starts. Against Atlanta and Seattle, Boyle looked like someone who would stick around for at least a few more years.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-ranking-all-62-starting-qbs-of-the-2021-nfl-season

Best-case, worst-case scenarios for all 32 NFL teams in the 2022 offseason (DETROIT LIONS - Best case: Attack the secondary hard in free agency.  Worst case: No clear worst-case scenario — it would be difficult to mess the offseason up.  There is a chance Detroit adds a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft with its second first-round draft pick, courtesy of the Los Angeles Rams at No. 32, but for a team with this many holes, playing for the 2023 NFL Draft is best. Either way, building up the secondary for the next few years is necessary after the Lions produced a bottom-three team coverage grade once again in 2021.   Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn could woo the team to pursue safety Marcus Williams, whom he coached in New Orleans for four seasons. Williams — the sixth-highest graded safety of 2021 — would assuredly bolster the Lions' backend. A veteran presence could be tapped at cornerback, as well. Stephon Gilmore — who has earned a coverage grade above 79.0 in four of his past five seasons — is a potential option to help groom some of the young talent on Detroit’s roster.  There are few bad scenarios that could play out for Detroit this offseason, given the sheer number of holes on the roster. The franchise can’t do much to make be any worse.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-free-agency-2022-nfl-draft-offseason-best-worst-case-all-teams
