Colin Cowherd bizarrely picks Jared Goff over Joe Burrow and Dak Prescott following his ‘mammoth’ $212 million contract

Considering his reputation when the Lions traded for him to bridge the gap to the future until they found their franchise quarterback who would lead to the glory of the Super Bowl, the quarterback has come a long way. 

Just last season, he led the NFC championship game and led the NFL in many categories. If there’s any chance for the Lions to make history by winning their first Super Bowl, it’s with Goff in the lead. And so believes analyst Cowherd. 

The lucrative deal that the Lions offered their starting quarterback has instigated a debate online about what Prescott’s contract would look like. Given that he is also entering the final year of his deal with the Dallas Cowboys, he is considered to have more potential than Goff. 

Why Colin Cowherd favors Jared Goff in NFL debate

Last Tuesday, the Fox analyst joined the debate, arguing that the contract Goff received is unmatched by whatthe Cowboys’’ Prescott deserves, as the Lions’ quarterback has repeatedly outperformed Prescott in the course of his career.

Cowherd expressed his unfiltered views on the wider discussion of which quarterback he would have on his team. 

This is the hardest one. [Joe] Burrow is better, Burrow has four straight years with injuries, [Jared] Goff never gets hurt. I'd go Goff and I love Burrow. People always bang on Lamar Jackson for being hurt, but, okay, then Joe Burrow gets hurt. So if you're asking me today, who I would take, this moment, very close, it's Goff. Said Cowherd on the recent episode of Herd with Colin Cowherd

Moreover, Cowherd further argued that he doesn’t consider Prescott to the same level as Goff and Matthew Stafford, for whom the Rams traded Goff to the Lions, closest in that comparison.
