Since draft night, head coach Jeff Fisher has maintained that No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff will become the Rams’ starting quarterback when he’s ready. That time has come, as Goff will start against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Fisher has said week after week that Goff has been making steady progress both on the field and in the classroom. Offensive coordinator Rob Boars recently described how the rookie has started to ask higher-level questions, demonstrating his knowledge of the offense. And with the rookie receiving the vast majority of Los Angeles’ first-teams snaps during the bye week, Boras said Goff’s understanding came through in practice.
