LA Rams quarterback Jared Goff is rarely, if ever, criticized for his physical gifts and understandably so. But during his reign as one of the NFL’s best statistical passers from 2017-2018 — fourth in touchdowns, third in yards per attempt behind only Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, sixth in passer rating — as the Rams went 24-7 in his starts, there were some doubts raised about Goff’s personal input on the success of the offense.
Was Goff elevating those around him or was he simply lucky to be there as Sean McVay reinvented an offense that now featured free agent additions Andrew Whitworth, John Sullivan, and Robert Woods, as well as trade acquisition Sammy Watkins, and rookie Cooper Kupp?
