NFL Power Rankings Week 10 Rank: 28

Maske has a very valid question about the Goff situation in his write-up of the Rams:

"Are the Rams afraid that if they go to rookie QB Jared Goff and he really can play, they’ll be expected to start actually having winning seasons soon?"

That thought echoes what I wrote yesterday about Goff not playing being a way for Fisher to keep his job for longer. The only thing that can save Fisher at this point is if Goff plays and plays well. We’re all still waiting for that to happen.
