Why Jared Goff is so much better under center than in shotgun

The Los Angeles Rams may have a high-powered offense, but it’s not because Jared Goff is constantly sitting back in shotgun. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The Rams use shotgun formations less than any team in the league dating back two years, frequently putting Goff under center.

That’s certainly where he’s at his best and Sean McVay is taking full advantage of it. According to Next Gen Stats, the Rams are the only team that has used shotgun less than 50 percent of the time since 2017. Goff’s numbers are respectable out of the gun, but not nearly as good as his stats from under center.
