The Facts: The most pressing matter facing the Lions is what to do with the quarterback position. Goff was acquired to help stabilize the offense until Detroit could draft a long-term solution, but was so good down the stretch that he might have played himself into the conversation for that role.

Diehards Line: Goff completed 332 of 494 passes for 3,245 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions; had a 91.5 passer rating, which set a franchise record for a quarterback’s first year with the team; had a 107.1 passer rating in five healthy games with Dan Campbell calling plays, which ranked third in the league over that stretch; completed 67.21 percent of his passes, which was just 0.01 percent off Matthew Stafford’s franchise record; fumbled nine times, which was 10th most in the league, but just two of them came in the second half of the season; won NFC offensive player of the week after leading a game-winning drive against the Vikings. In other words, Goff was exactly what the Detroit Lions thought he’d be. It just took him a few months longer than expected to get there. So the veteran signal caller is certainly in the mix going forward. As MLive.com's Kyle Meinke notes, the Lions have the No. 2 pick, but there isn’t a Joe Burrow kind of guy waiting for them. There isn’t even a Trevor Lawrence. There won’t be a QB taken in the top five, and there might not even be one on the top 10. The Lions also have to consider what to do with the leadership of their offense, a decision that is impossible to separate from Goff. If Campbell elects to continue calling plays, the Lions could opt for more continuity with their offense overall. That could mean Ben Johnson -- the de facto passing game coordinator down the stretch -- could become the full-time offensive coordinator. And that could mean more Goff for next season. But the question remains about what they should do for the long term. And as the rebuild advances toward the next stage, there is no question facing this organization -- not one -- bigger than that.
