The
Year of the Goff
In just a year’s time, the Rams
quarterback Jared Goff has gone from the out-house to the Penthouse. It just
took the genius mind of the Rams new head coach Sean McVay to bring out the
best in Goff. And what a difference a year makes.
Under the Jeff Fischer regime, the Rams
were cellar dwellers with a record of 4 and 12. This season however, the Rams
are currently 6-2 atop the NFC west and the play of quarterback Jared Goff has
been a big part of the turnaround.
Through the halfway point of the season Goff
is the No.12 fantasy quarterback, up from finishing as the No.37 in 2016. This
season Goff has been more accurate with the ball, completing 147 of 244 passes
for a 60.2 percentage and has been more effective averaging better than 250
yards passing per game.
The Rams offense has also been more
explosive (ranked 1st in scoring this season) and effective this season, in
large part to the passing success of Goff who has 13 passing touchdowns. What a
difference a year makes.
After a precarious start to his NFL career
just one season ago, the Rams and their fans have to be excited about the
turnaround of their young signal caller. It wasn’t much of a start last season,
but a great start this season has made 2017 look like the Year of the Goff!
That's My Take.
