Could former Rams coach Mike Martz help LA Rams QB Jared Goff over the hump?

The LA Rams quarterback Jared Goff is the center of discussions in recent days. One of the highest-paid players in the NFL as well as one of the youngest quarterbacks to compete in the Super Bowl can foster a wide range of topics for sports debate.

The old wound hasn’t healed

This is not new. It’s plagued him since he arrived at the NFL in 2016 as a rookie. But the 2019 performance was a serious reminder that this is an issue that won’t go away, isn’t something he’ll grow out of, and hasn’t been coached into his rearview mirror.
