No, Los Angeles Rams fans, rookie quarterback Jared Goff won’t see the field soon.
After taking an ugly 17-10 loss to the New York Giants in London in Week 7, Fisher hit post-game pressers and confirmed he doesn’t want to hear about benching Case Keenum in favor of Goff.
He’d rather make changes elsewhere, according to NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal:
Fisher: I'll make changes at receiver before I make a change at QB.

Keenum looked terrible in all aspects Sunday, attempting a silly 53 passes for 291 yards with one touchdown to four interceptions. Granted, part of Fisher’s comment comes from the fact a few of the interceptions were more the fault of receivers.
The fact we’re talking about how to assign blame to four interceptions, though, says it all.
Los Angeles has now lost three games in a row and Fisher’s unwillingness to make changes rests as the major culprit. Throwing the ball 53 times with a running back like Todd Gurley on the roster says it all.
So while it might make sense for the Rams to get Goff some in-game experience, Fisher needs to see much, much worse from Keenum and the season outlook before making a change.
