Los Angeles Rams: Is Jared Goff a franchise passer?
To answer that question, we’re betting on “No.” No, Jared Goff is not going to develop into a franchise passer.
The biggest reason for this bold statement is that Goff didn’t just struggle to hit his targets last year when he was under pressure. Even when he faced no pressure at all, he stunk.

Last season when Goff came into the starting lineup for good, he consistently struggled to hit open targets and was highly sporadic overall. Given the amount of capital the Rams gave up in 2016 to land Goff, they’re basically screwed if he doesn’t pan out.
There’s always Sean Mannion, Rams fans.
