LOS ANGELES -- At first blush, the pairing of quarterback Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams doesn't make much sense from a schematic standpoint.
Goff spent 99 percent of his college career at California lined up in the shotgun or pistol formation. The Rams spent less time in those formations than any NFL team in 2015. So if the simple act of lining up is going to be a big adjustment for Goff, then what about the more difficult pieces of learning a pro-style offense after playing in Cal's wide open "Bear Raid" scheme for the past three years?
