    Rams 2017 preview: Position-by-position analysis
    QUARTERBACK
    It’s finally time to learn the truth about Jared Goff. As a rookie in 2016, he went 0-7 as a starter and got battered while he played behind a dreadful offensive line. Goff’s protection, and pass-game targets, have improved.

There’s every reason to expect improvement from Goff this season. I

    The phrase “flying by the seat of your pants” began in the early years of aviation when pilots had to rely on their instincts and the “feel” of the seat and controls to navigate aircraft.
