Rams: #1 Overall Pick Jared Goff to Start Over Case Keenum

The Dolphins are 30th in the National Football League in rushing yards allowed at 128.8 per contest and with a rookie quarterback getting his first National Football League start, the Rams hope Gurley can take advantage. “I’m excited to get back out there and play”.

“He’s No. 2, and he’s a play away from playing”, Fisher told Rams reporters. Following a 28-0 shutout loss to the San Francisco 49ers (the 49ers only win to date) in the season opener, the Rams have limped to a 4-5 record. “It’s my offense, and I took ownership of it”.

“I want to start by apologizing to all the USA military members, their families, and the fans who I offended by my actions on Sunday”, Evans said in a statement.

They’re still alive at 4-5, and if Goff gives the offense a spark they could end up in the mix for a playoff berth. Without them, we would have never seen the likes of Tom Brady, Steve Young, or Drew Brees. “You can’t ask for anything more out of somebody”. And after Goff got all the first-team reps during the Rams’ bye week, Boras praised the way he translated it onto the field – the quickness with which he got in and out of the huddle, the confidence he displayed as he approached the line of scrimmage, the accuracy with which he delivered passes. The last No. 1 overall pick at quarterback who sat for that much time was Jamarcus Russell, who threw his first pass in the 12th game of the Raiders’ 2007 season, and didn’t start until the season finale. It was believed that they would take a QB, as there were two that everyone was jockeying for; Carson Wentz and Jared Goff.

“I’m hoping that the game slows down for him, and I think it will”, Fisher added.

But there’s one big problem: The offense has been an utter disaster all season and specifically the last four weeks while scoring just two touchdowns in three games.

The Rams are also curious to see how Goff responds to pressure.

“They have a right to feel however they want to feel”, Keenum said about the fans at the time. Coach Jeff Fisher even suggested that Goff’s arm talent might expand what the Rams have done on offense through nine games. That growth was exemplified two weeks ago during a practice in which Goff got the majority of reps with the first-team offense and by all accounts dominated the afternoon. Fisher has not ruled the two-time Pro Bowler out of Sunday’s game against the Dolphins and said Quinn could do a bit of on-field work on Thursday. “That’s why I play football, is to play football, is to be the quarterback, the guy with the ball in his hands”. He even said as recently as Sunday that Keenum was the starter, but apparently – and suddenly – something changed.

It seemed obvious that a change needed to be made.

He took first-team snaps during one bye-week practice but was otherwise limited to second-team reps.

“A lot of times in the preseason you’re not really getting too exotic”, Gase said.
