read this article. it’s pretty balanced and from before this season. it discusses Goff’s trouble with pressure in 2018 the Rams interior oline issues against good teams and the fact that Goff should be able to handle the kind of pressure that he gets more than he does

It also has some pretty good video examples of where he struggled and again this is from 2018 not 2019
My problems with Goff started in that Chicago game. One of the things that stood out is how he fell apart. He had a similar first half against the Packers earlier that year, similar game against the Lions and Eagles and then the SB. This link does a pretty good job of at least outlining where Goff needs to improve for anyone who might have questions when some of us say Goff handles pressure poorly
Not all QBs do and they don’t seem to fall apart like Goff. Anyhow I think the article does a good job of explaining some of that
Fwiw here's a different opinion. One I personally prefer. I see this piece not as deflecting blame as much as trying to paint a complete picture:

Goff isn’t always at fault, to be fair. The offensive line, especially right tackle Rob Havenstein, has been awful in pass protection. It’s true that Goff has a faulty internal clock as is, but the quality of pass protection the Rams are shelling out right now would not be adequate for quarterbacks with functional internal clocks, either.
As such, some plays aren’t so much Goff’s fault as they are the offensive line accentuating the quarterback’s weaknesses. That sounds like it’s still Goff to blame, but a quarterback being thrust into a situation that is uncomfortable for him is not the same as a quarterback actively making a wrong or bad play. No quarterback is perfect and they are only made less perfect by how well their teammates function around them.
