As we look forward to the 2016 season, the team of PFF analysts is going to determine exactly where teams are situated when it comes to their personnel. Quarterback is a strange position group because the emphasis is almost entirely on the starter. This is a league where many teams don’t have a starter they are happy with, never mind a backup, so the impact the second or third guy has on an overall situation has quite possibly never been so low.

With that in mind, we aren’t looking at every QB currently on the roster, but only at those that are likely to have something to say about the first two spots on the depth chart.

…

27. Los Angeles Rams

Starter: Jared Goff

Backup: Case Keenum

Key stat: 58.8 percent of Goff’s yards gained last season came in the air rather than after the catch, a figure that would have ranked in the top 10 in the NFL.

Jared Goff is the QB of the future for L.A. The only question is how long Rams fans have to wait to see it. He was the highest-graded QB in the nation last season, and even when pressured, had an NFL passer rating of 87.1, but his college offense was not exactly pro-style, and there may be an adjustment period before he is ready to start. If he isn’t, Keenum will get a chance to add to a career that is only 942 snaps old, but has seen some bright spots. Last season, he started five games, and outside of a poor first start against the Ravens, graded well.
