Los Angeles Rams rookie QB Jared Goff has yet to see the field as Case Keenum has been in control with the offense. However maybe it’s a good thing that Goff is sitting out the first part of his rookie season.
Carson Palmer was the No. 1 pick in the 2003 NFL draft out of USC, so the Arizona Cardinals quarterback knows something about what Rams rookie Jared Goff is experiencing.
Palmer did not play his entire rookie season before he became the starter in 2004. The USC Alumni talked about Goff and the possibility of growing even with playing right away.
“There’s such a fine line between throwing a guy in there, making him play … and he knows he’s going to go in and struggle because the team’s not good like some guys have been,”
Palmer said Wednesday during a conference call. “The Rams are different. That’s a very good team. They don’t need to throw a rookie in there and him learn on the run and the team suffer.
“You have a chance to watch how you prepare as a starter, how you go about your business as a starter, especially if you’re coming from a very non pro-style offense,” he said. “Seeing how offenses prepare, seeing the different pressures you’re going to see and the different defenses you’re going to see.
Is Carson Palmer right? He may have a good point.
