Jared Goff to Make NFL Debut for Los Angeles Rams in Week 11

The time has finally come for Jared Goff to get his change in the National Football league with the Los Angeles Rams.

Los Angeles Rams No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff will finally get his chance to improve the team’s offense as he is expected to start on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen has the latest:

Here’s more from Mort:

"Rams coach Jeff Fisher informed Goff and Case Keenum of the switch when he met with the quarterbacks Tuesday morning, sources said. Keenum, who has started the team’s first nine games, will be the backup and second-year man Sean Mannion will remain No. 3 for now."

This announcement is surprising to say the least, especially considering head coach Jeff Fisher claimed Case Keenum was still the team’s starter on Monday. He even went as far as to label Goff the No. 2 quarterback who was “a play away” from getting in the game.

Apparently he was closer than that.

Keenum, who has been the team’s starter all season, has tanked in his role. He ranks near the bottom of the league in total QBR and the Rams are among the league’s worst offense in passing yards, rushing yards, and points per game.

To make matters worse, Todd Gurley can’t get anything going thanks to an inept passing attack that allows opposing defenses to stack the box. Poor offensive line play has also been a major reason for the Rams’ offensive woes.

The Jared Goff Era is FINALLY Here

Rams fans have been waiting a long time for this, but here we are. Goff is now the Rams starting quarterback and we’ll get to see just how ready he is. It won’t be an easy task given all the deficiencies Los Angeles’ offense has this season, but at least he’ll be in front of a friendly crowd.

Goff’s entry into the starting lineup also means that this is Fisher’s last gasp. He has nothing left to hang on to in terms of hope if Goff fails. Fisher’s future with the Rams is now officially riding on the arm of a 22-year-old rookie quarterback.
