Why a Jared Goff breakout could actually happenDan Graziano
I don't know whether Jared Goff will end up being a good NFL quarterback. The Los Angeles Rams don't know that yet, either. And it might be awhile before anyone does.
What we do know is that circumstances matter to success. And so far, it looks as if Goff's 2017 circumstances are a lot more favorable for success than his 2016 circumstances were.
How so? Glad you asked.
There's a lot to be said for the way the Rams added pieces in key spots for Goff. Veteran left tackle Andrew Whitworth was a shrewd signing and, along with veteran center John Sullivan, has helped stabilize things a bit on the offensive line. The training camp trade for Sammy Watkins brought Goff a true No. 1-type wideout, and the Rams might have stolen receiver Cooper Kupp in the third round of the 2017 draft. Los Angeles has constructed a roster that should help the new coaching staff make a truer, fuller evaluation of its young quarterback when this season is over.
