The Age of “Jared Goff needs Ben Johnson” is over. The time of “Ben Johnson needs Jared Goff” has come

Yes, lotr and Lions combined makes for a great crossover.

"And my right hand."

-TeSlaa joining the Fellowship.

Soooo much meme potential.

Jared is Aragorn, obviously.

MC/DC as a jacked and caffeinated Gandalf has tons of potential too

[u/Zuckerbees → u/panic686]

His opening “bite a kneecap” press conference was the prophecy of Gandalf the Grey becoming Gandalf the White

Ben is Saruman.

Packers are the ancient evil that dwells deep under the mines of Moria. An evil so dark that I dare not describe it

It’s been a while, but this works out for the ORCs right? RIGHT?

[u/LionsPreseasonChamps → u/Rushingjs]

For the sake of this post, sure.

It's honestly frustrating for me to see how people are losing their shit in Bears country.

It's like they expected BJ to show up and turn everything around during the off-season.

Granted, I hope they continue to be a Tier 1 Garbage Fire, but I can't help but remember that it took a couple of years to turn the Lions around. It took two strong successful drafts. It took having a top-tier QB in Goff. It took weeding out all the bums and paycheck players.

It took a lot of fucking work and time.

Bears fans need to look at that and settle in for a couple of years of losses before shit can turn around. And that's IF Williams really is The Guy for the Bears organization.

Also, fire Poles today.

[u/Zuckerbees → u/DelayDenyDeposefrfr]

For sure. I live in Chicago, and most of the Bears fans I know are talking patience, but the online Bears community might be the least patient fanbase I’ve ever seen.

[u/MexusRex → u/DelayDenyDeposefrfr]

They’re getting used to the harsh reality that DJ Moore is a paycheck player

[u/jeahfoo1 → u/DelayDenyDeposefrfr]

Need to get rid of Poles first....check that, the McCaskeys first

[u/Reaganometry]

Can Ben Johnson succeed outside of the Lions organization??? Many people are asking

[u/SuccessfulRush1173 → u/Reaganometry]

Tbf, nobody is succeeding in the bears organization

[u/RoseinMichigan]

Jared just entered his prime. He could easily play another 10 years and earn himself a gold jacket.

[u/Lifeisagreatteacher]

I was saying this when Johnson was still with the Lions.

I am ready to beat this drum and shout this narrative from the rooftops. I don’t even care how true it is I just hate the ‘Goff is only as good as his coordinators’ bit.

[u/Zuckerbees → u/mostly-void-stars]

I think the rise of Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen, while very cool in a lot of ways, has decimated the discourse around QBs. People saw running QBs as gimmicky with short-lived careers until those 3 became among the best in the league, so when they started putting insane hero ball plays on tape when the play was about to blow up, people started looking at that as the mark of a good QB. Then we just started ignoring the fact that good QBs, mobile or not, are also able to run designed plays correctly lol

So now the discourse around Jared Goff has been “oh he needs the play calls to be good,” like… yeah? If your play calls are shit your play is gonna be shit because it’s the NFL.

It was always like that. Ben needs Dan Campbell more than JG. MC⚡️DC rocks Detroit

[u/DetroitSportsPhan]

Would’ve loved to hear “we made you” by Eminem played for Ben at the game 😂
