You are the lead train engineer?
 
Plus Goff showed in pre-season already he isn't scared to put the ball in a tight window. Case isn't capable of doing that, so we never throw in the red zone, and the result us we end up settling for FGs because the defense knows a Gurley run is coming.
 
I've reached the point where the benefits outweigh the negatives of starting Goff.
Keenum was supposed to be the guy that didn't make big mistakes, and puts us in a position to win games. These interceptions in crucial situations are killing us.
I get that we are still 3-2 and in a decent enough position, but it's a really slippery slope in the NFL when you're a team that's been winning in the way that the Rams have the last few weeks.
If it were Goff making the same mistakes as learning in the process it would be an easier pill to swallow, but clearly that isn'the the case...
Let's give our number 1 pick a chance and see what he can do.
 
its hard to know for sure what going on with the limited view you get watching the game, but Keenum's reluctance to throw the ball downfield on those last 2 drives was pretty sad. Especially the last drive where there was literally nothing to lose by throwing it downfield. Its not a good sign when even Keenum doesnt trust his arm.
 
Wondering if a trip to London the best time to start a rookie QB?

Well, the Gurley Man is definitely loosening up. I thought he might corral his first 2016 century mark effort today, but Case & Co. didn't do enough to lessen the over attention being paid to the Express! Now ya put a signal caller behind center with the accuracy, touch, height, & arm strength to find even tiny Tavon downfield amidst a forest of DB's, and they will have to! back off TGII. A quick death by bombs is definitely worse than a slow death from the Gurley Express! rambles. Of course, if Todd starts making 70-yard, 80-yard dashes to pay dirt, it really doesn't make much difference how our opponents die.

So the million dollar question is going to be does Fisher have the resolve to make a quarterback change
IMO, I don't see a change until after the bye week, and that's a big maybe. He will state the loss was from kicking FGs rather than TDs, missing key D-Lineman, some missed blocking assignments by the O-Line, inconsistent special teams, and too many penalties... basically 7-9 BS. "And, we will get these things fixed." Unless Kroenke walks into his office and tells him to start Goff, he will continue to go with Keenum. At this point, if we are 4-3 at the bye I will be simply amazed.
 
Selfishly the thought of a QB change is exciting, but I do not wish this mess on Goff. If he goes in there he's gonna get killed by this o-line and roasted for taking over a "winning" team and losing. As of now I hope he sits the rest of the season, maybe that changes at some point but inserting him now I think would be a disaster.
