Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Jalen Milroe

Tuesday, February 18, 9:51 AM

New Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton told FOX 2 Detroit's Dan Miller that the team's offense in 2025 will remain "predicated" on quarterback Jared Goff. "I think it's big because it all starts with the quarterback," Morton said. "Just kind of knowing him -- and when I was here, I was in the quarterback room. So, I have a feel of what he likes, what he doesn't." Morton spent a year with the Lions as a senior offensive assistant in 2022 before coaching for the Denver Broncos the last two years. He also called played under Todd Bowles as the New York Jets offensive coordinator in 2017 but was fired after one season. Morton has been in non-play-calling roles the last six years. He'll be taking over the No. 1 offense and has big shoes to fill after Ben Johnson left to be the head coach for the division-rival Chicago Bears.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that rookie third-round quarterback Jalen Milroe will not be used in the same fashion as New Orleans Saints hybrid player Taysom Hill. Sam Darnold is the unquestioned starter under center for the Seahawks entering the 2025 season, and the plan is for Milroe to earn a chance to play in Year 1, according to The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar. The 22-year-old's role might become clearer as the team mixed in rookies with veterans during organized team activities this offseason. A two-QB system with specific packages for Milroe will take some time to fine-tune. It remains to be seen what kind of packages Milroe will be involved in, but they could be in red-zone and short-yardage situations. Either way, Milroe isn't going to have much fantasy value in redraft leagues as the backup to Darnold in 2025.
