The Detroit Lions are riding high on momentum, and head coach Dan Campbell isn’t shy about his belief that quarterback Jared Goff will only get better. With a new offensive coordinator , John Morton , stepping in after Ben Johnson's departure to the Chicago Bears, the Lions are looking to take their offense to another level, and Campbell is convinced that Goff is ready to lead the charge.
Dan Campbell expresses strong belief in Jared Goff’s continued development
Speaking at the NFL owners' meetings, Campbell made it clear that he expects Goff to keep progressing.
“Growth? Look, he continues to grow every year,” Campbell said . “And I’d say the next step for him — and he knows this every year, like last year, he came to us, everything we wanted him to do in the offense he did. And then he began to bring stuff to us.”
This statement highlights how much trust the Lions have in Goff, especially as he takes more control over offensive decisions. Goff is not just executing plays; he’s actively shaping the game plan, something Campbell sees as a major step forward.
Since arriving in Detroit in 2021, Goff has steadily improved. In 2023, he threw for 4,438 yards and 29 touchdowns, proving he can be a high-level starter. However, Campbell believes there’s still room for more growth, particularly in Goff’s ability to read defenses and adjust on the fly.
“Hey man, I can see this look. Let me get to this play. I know I’ve got these options in the bag, but let me get to this as well. Those are the things where he’s, ‘OK, here we go man.’ That’s beginning to show. And I would anticipate that to take another step up,” Campbell added.
How new offensive coordinator John Morton can help Goff take another step forward
With former OC Ben Johnson departing for the Bears, John Morton takes over the role after serving as the Lions' passing game coordinator. Morton has experience developing quarterbacks, and his familiarity with Goff means there won’t be a complete system overhaul—just refinements to enhance Goff’s strengths.
Morton’s approach is expected to keep Detroit’s offense dynamic, allowing Goff to have more flexibility at the line of scrimmage. If Goff continues to expand his role as an on-field decision-maker, the Lions’ offense could become even more potent.
Detroit has steadily climbed the ranks of the NFC, and with a strong supporting cast around Goff—including star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back Jahmyr Gibbs—the Lions are poised to be contenders once again. If Goff can take yet another step forward under Morton’s guidance, Detroit might finally break through and reach the Super Bowl .
Campbell’s unwavering faith in Goff signals that the Lions believe they have their guy. Now, it’s up to Goff to prove that he can lead Detroit to its first-ever Lombardi Trophy.
