Ten bold predictions for second half of NFL season

10. Jared Goff and Los Angeles Rams claim the NFC West
The Rams are losing more than they are winning right now, sporting a very Jeff Fisher-like 3-5 record. Not surprisingly,
fans are demanding a change in quarterback as Case Keenum’s struggles have greatly contributed to the misery.
But week after week, Fisher has continued to stand behind Keenum, who cannot personally be held responsible for the team’s woes.
That said, it is not rocket science to conclude that Keenum is not getting the job done. After eight games, Keenum has a 77.2 passer rating. While he
is averaging a decent 250.5 passing yards per game, his horrible 9:11 touchdown-to-interception ratio has been a problem.
The million dollar question is this: Jow much longer will rookie Jared Goff ride the bench?
At this time, it appears Fisher is content at leaving Keenum under center until the
Rams are out of playoff contention. What kind backwards line of thinking is Fisher following when the NFC West is still up for grabs? There is no real front runner yet. Seattle is 5-2-1 and Arizona sits at 3-4-1.
The only thing we know for certain is that the 49ers are going to lose the division.
Why not take the training wheels off of Goff and get him out there? Despite Fisher’s decision to stick with Keenum for now, we are predicting a change of heart soon enough.
This is by far the boldest prediction here. Goff will come in and shine, leading the Rams to win the NFC West.
