QBÂ Jared Goff was taken No. 1 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft but had to wait to get his first start. And in took until Week 11 for him to get his first start.
Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff was the first player taking in the 2016 NFL Draft. So youâd think that he would be the first quarterback from that draft to start an NFL game. But that hasnât been the case as many quarterbacks drafted after him have started games.
Hey, the first one invited to the party isnât always the first one to get in. But that is a long wait when you get invited first and you donât get it first by far. Hearing the guys gettinâ on the mic and rockinâ makes it even longer.
Carson Wentz is with the Philadelphia Eagles, starting every game and performing. So is 4th-round pick Dak Prescott who had to start for Tony Romo. Cody Kessler is a 3rd-round pick that started after Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown sustained injuries.
Paxton Lynch (second round and Jacoby Brissett (third round) even got a taste in there. But the guy with the worst QB in front of him starting off, (Case Keenum) hasnât started a game yet. But thank God for deliverance that he will finally start his first game Sunday.
Keenum did everything he could to give Goff the job and it took this long. NFL Networkâs Steve Wyche previously reported that Goff has made significant progress in practice during the season. And thatâs a big part of why Goff will get that start.
Keenum throwing nine TDs and 11 INTs so far this season has something to do with it too. This is valuable developmental experience and he doesnât make the Rams any less competitive. Itâs crazy that HC Jeff Fisher picked the Miami Dolphinsâ strong defensive line for Goffâs first start.
But heâs here now!
Welcome to the party, Jared!
