Despite how his season ended with a brutal performance in his first Super Bowl, Goff was one of the best quarterbacks in the league during 2018. He put up major numbers orchestrating Sean McVay’s offense in the City of Angels, completing 64.9 percent of their passes for 4,688 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions en route to the second Pro Bowl selection of his career.
Of course, his performance in the Super Bowl will leave a bad taste in the mouths of many, but Goff has put up serious numbers the last two years and there’s no denying that he’s done a great job in Los Angeles so far. The quarterback market requires that teams invest big money in their signal callers, and as such, Goff is in for a monster payday.
