Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff has disappointing Madden 18 rating

As bad as it sounds, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff having a 73 Madden 18 rating shouldn’t be a surprise.

To say Jared Goff’s rookie year with the Los Angeles Rams was a major learning experience would be a huge understatement when looking at all of the struggles he dealt with ranging from poor protection from the offensive line to a weak receiving corps. But with a new coaching staff led by Sean McVay along with numerous key additions on the offensive side of the football, Goff’s sophomore year will hopefully be a lot smoother than his rookie season, as the former No. 1 pick is anxious to get that first win as a starter under his belt (0-7 in 2016).

With Madden 18 scheduled to come out later in August, the popular EA Sports video game recently released their ratings for players during the upcoming season. And as expected, Goff unfortunately ranked near the bottom of the quarterback list with an overall rating of 73.

The good news about this is there’s no reason for Los Angeles or their fans to be concerned over these low ratings for Goff when considering the Rams’ offense looks completely different from a year ago. From the signing of Andrew Whitworth to boost the offensive line to adding key weapons in the passing game like Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp, early signs point to Goff making a major leap heading into his first year under McVay’s offense.

It sounds crazy, but with all of the rumors surrounding Los Angeles possibly moving on from Goff if things don’t turn out well in 2017, the pressure is on for the Rams quarterback to succeed this season to help his team improve from last year’s 4-12 finish. And if that does happen, Goff can expect his Madden 19 rating to be a lot higher than 73 around this time next offseason.
