The Lions are roaring louder than ever, reminding the league why they’re staking their claim as kings of the NFL jungle. At 10-1, they’ve got the receipts to back it up. But while Detroit is basking in dominance, there’s one thing sparking debate—Jared Goff. Is he the guy leading the pride, or just a solid piece in a great system? Amon-Ra St. Brown is all in for his QB, but his brother, Osiris, doesn’t really think he is crème de la crème. Fairs.

On the St. Brown Podcast, Osiris didn’t sugarcoat it: “I don’t think Jared Goff is like the top of the top. He’s like A-tier. There’s S-tier, A-tier, B-tier, and C-tier. (Jared) is A-tier.” Hmm… Interesting. For a guy who has been showing his prowess week in and week out, that’s a bit harsh.

Guess that’s why Amon-Ra wasn’t about to let that slide. He fired back with a hypothetical: “What if we [Detroit] go 16-1 with the 6 Ws? Would he then become MVP?” But Osiris stayed firm, calling that a team achievement and doubling down on his stance that Goff doesn’t belong in the same air as Mahomes or Allen. Yup, according to Osiris, Pat and Josh (and even Lamar Jackson) make up the S-tier.

It’s not hate, though—more like tough love with a side of football philosophy. Osiris thinks Goff is good, just not “S-tier elite.” “Jared Goff knows how to play the position… As in, he knows how to dump it and how to NOT take negative plays,” Amon-Ra’s brother added.

But let’s be real: does it even matter when the Lions are cruising like this? Whether Goff’s A-tier, S-tier, or somewhere in between, Detroit’s success has the whole league watching. So, when Amon-Ra said: “Football is the Quarterback’s game,” you know he couldn’t say it any differently because of how he has seen Goff’s rise, firsthand.

Jared Goff’s resurgence is one for the books

Picture this: it’s late 2022, and Jared Goff walks into Dan Campbell’s office with the look of a quarterback about to be sidelined. Four turnovers against the Cowboys, a 1-5 record, and the Lions looking as lost as a kicker on fourth-and-goal—it felt like game over. But Campbell had a play no one saw coming: trust… Against all noise and chatter. He told Goff he was sticking with him, and that moment wasn’t just a lifeline. It was the start of something electric in Detroit. Goff’s response? “Man, I’ve got to stop trying to do too much.” And just like that, a mental reset turned into the start of something incredible.

Fast forward to today, and Goff isn’t just the guy under center—he’s the guy. A precision passer dropping dimes like he’s playing Madden on rookie mode. Nine yards per throw? That’s leading the league. With a backfield that’s basically a cheat code and Goff’s zen-like focus, the Lions offense is now a juggernaut. “You do your job one play at a time, and a little momentum starts to build,” Goff said. Sounds simple, right? But in the NFL, simple is the hardest thing to master.

Let’s not forget, this wasn’t a straight shot to the top. Goff was cast off by the Rams in a deal that felt like a breakup text: “It’s not you, it’s us (but also Stafford).” He could’ve let the narrative—”damaged goods“—define him. Instead, he flipped it. His redemption arc? Yeah, not talked about enough. In the season where Aaron Rodgers‘ return has been the talk of the town, so has Kirk Cousins‘, and Joe Burrow‘s redemption arc, where does Goff sit? At the bottom of the pile. But he has made noise where it matters the most… Under center.

Now, the Lions are 32-9 since that infamous meeting, with playoff wins and a Super Bowl favorite tag from Brady to boot. Detroit’s fans aren’t just cheering; they’re chanting. “Ja-red Goff!” Whether it’s in a stadium or, hilariously, a random Michigan bar, this isn’t just support—it’s a love story between a city and its QB.

And that’s the beauty of Goff’s journey. From being written off to writing history, his comeback isn’t just one for the books—it’s more like what Goff says, “When you try to do less, more happens.”
