Well, maybe we shouldn't expect anything less with Keenum and the Rookie Goff running an offense, coordinated by a first timer with the guidance of a historically defensive minded coach. Fisher's fear of mistakes is holding them all back, but maybe Goff can lead the offense to win some trust from his head coach. If it happens I doubt it will ever happen this season.
I would be more sympathetic to that point of view if I hadn't seen the same thing in Fisher's first few seasons with the Rams, in which he started out with another #1 draft pick at QB and the offense still emphasized preventing mistakes over all else first. Remember how Bradford was bashed for not pushing the ball down the field and becoming Mr. Checkdown Charlie? He was coached that way. We still saw repeated 3rd down throws that were not beyond the sticks, still saw safe passes, short, easy stuff, checkdowns, etc.
In short, I just don't see anything in Fisher's history that suggests he'll ever be willing to open things up more, to take full advantage of Goff's skill set, and in general, make this offense good. Despite the abysmal showing by our offense week after week, he seems pretty set in his ways and seems to think if we just keep doing the same things, eventually something will change for the better.
