Fisher will toss the ball around, when the pieces are in place.
I mean, just watching that bullet, Goff zinged down the middle,
was a...ray of sunshine. The passing game is coming. Soon, i would think.
Yes? No?

They already have done it and that was without all the pieces on offense.
In 2014, they were 18th in passing play percentage (58.73%) and that was more than (to list only teams with winning records that year) the Eagles, Ravens, Packers, Chiefs, Bengals, Cowboys, Texans, and Seahawks. (Not that throwing more than those teams is "better," just debunking the idea the Rams don't throw the ball enough to be a balanced team, or don't want to).
In 2013, Rams were 24th (56%), and that was better than the Chargers, Eagles, Panthers, Seahawks, and 49ers
In 2012, Rams were 13th (59%), and that was better than the Packers, Bengals, Giants, Patriots, Ravens, Broncos, Texans, Bears, 49ers, Seahawks, and Washington.
I think as long as they have CK/a rookie and Gurley playing, they will be more run-heavy. Once Goff is an established young vet, they will go back to being more balanced (
I take balanced as throwing around 56+-60/61% of the time, and I take run-heavy as running 44.0% of the time and more).IMO they wouldn't have favored Goff of all their qb choices this year if they were adverse to throwing. Goff's key strengths as a player all have to do with giving you an emphatically good passing game. In fact if he develops as expected Goff ought to be absolutely deadly in a play action offense, and that's whether or not (in my opinion) they ever end up with a top 20 in the league level receiver.
