I think the idea is correct. The key with Goff is keeping the turnovers down. If the Rams' defense plays well the rook will not feel like he's gotta win every game on his arm. It will help him to play within the system and ease his transition as the Rams key on field position and the use of the running game to keep things on the up and up.

Also it will pad the kid's stats if he's the beneficiary of short fields from turnovers and big plays by special teams. If the Rams defense plays well I think we're talking about TDs in the low 20s due to that field position advantage. Yards will be low relatively speaking but that's ok, because he's not gonna be alone.

This is a great hype article and a fun read for a Rams fan.

It also makes it abundantly clear how important keeping our guys healthy is.

Can't ask too much from a rookie QB. There will be growing pains. Like already stated, keep his INTs down by running a lot, and not throwing it on every down.

This to me is the most important observation. We can not handle an injury to in order Any DB, Gurley or Goff in that order. Our lack of depth in the back 7 is scary. Every body gets injured. We can not sustain a back seven injury. Injury to Our QB is self explanatory

Agree on DBs and Gurley, but Case is competent enough we can win with him if, God forbid, Goff got injured (and he's a rookie that hasn't done it yet).

Agree. Which is why QB was 3rd on my list.
