The Rams are not the same as all teams as far as OL goes. They need a better OL than most teams b/c their QB is worse than the average QB when he isn't protected.
First off no one ever compares injury depleted lines so the raw statistics on pressure and its effect have a problem.
Second, that's a logical flaw, what I quote there. Just because Goff suffers under bad protection does not logically mean he needs elite protection.
He just needs decent protection.
Just because I walk better with a cane does not mean I need the most expensive, gold-trimmed, high fashion cane I can get.
The Rams OL just needs not to be BROKEN. Solid. That does not mean it has to be elite.

On the ZBS, you missed the context I provided. I mentioned the mobility of the QB. Dallas and Seattle have mobile QBs
No, I don't buy the idea that you need a mobile qb for the running game to work in a ZBS. There have been far too many good ZBS teams in history for that claim to hold up. Heck the Broncos were a heavy ZBS team in 2015 and they had a much more immobile qb than Goff and a serviceable running game (13th in yards per attempt.)
And besides, right now the Rams OL is a work in progress. You never do well if you lose 5 starters (2 left, 3 injuries) and end up replacing the injuries mid-season with 3 newbies, as I said. The scheme has nothing to do with it. You can't point at a blonde man with casts on both his legs and declare that blonde men never run well and here's the proof.
