With the 1st pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, The Los Angeles Rams select Jared Goff. Quarterback, California. The Goff era in Los Angeles has officially started…
The Los Angeles Rams needed to address the quarterback situation, as the past years have not been the best of years for any quarterback under center for the Rams. Los Angeles knew they found something special in QB Jared Goff, as they traded away an arm and leg for him. With OTA’s already underway, it was important that Goff lead the team right away.
Offensive coordinator Rob Boras and quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke are already liking the improvement of Goff in weeks. Could Goff lead the Rams too much more expectation in the 2016 season? By the looks of it, both offensive coaches are loving the new QB.
Rams insider Myles Simmons interviewed both coaches, as they both talked about the Work Ethic and Showing of Early Progress in OTA’s.
"“The guy is just a natural passer of the football. You can tell he’s a natural athlete,” the QB coach said. “He was probably the smoothest guy that I’ve evaluated in a long time, as it relates to pocket awareness and pocket presence. – Weinke"
"“Time after time, you’ve seen him make big plays,” Weinke continued. “And the guy made some ‘wow’ throws that not a lot of college guys have made — or that I’ve ever seen on film. – Weinke"
Quarterback Coach Chris Weinke is starting to see the evolution of Goff, hopefully everything he has told is actually true. I’m pretty sure every Ram fan has heard around the same stories once Sam Bradford came to the Rams.

On the flip side, offensive coordinator Rob Boras is impressed by the determination of the rookie.
"“The thing that’s really impressed me with Jared has just been his commitment to the classroom and his commitment to learn,” Boras said. “He’s been in there early for every meeting — I don’t mean five-minutes early. The meeting is supposed to start at 8:30, he’s trying to roll in and he’s always working.” – Boras"
"“We need to raise our level of expectations, not just for him but for this entire offense. So we’re trying to put as much not only on Jared, but with all of these guys, as possible,”- Boras"
Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff has a lot to prove in his rookie year. It’s a good start that both offensive coaches are impressed with the QB from Cal both on and off the field.
