The 2019 season was one filled with disappointment and underperforming for the Los Angeles Rams. Not only did they come up short of where they wanted to finish the year, but several players put together seasons that didn’t meet expectations.
Some were worse than others, of course, but these seven players must play better in 2020 in order for the Rams to get back to the postseason. Not surprisingly, it all starts with the quarterback.
QB Jared Goff
Goff plays the most important position in sports, so when he underperformed in 2019, he rightfully came under a lot of criticism. His struggles can’t continue into next season, otherwise the Rams will once again be watching the playoffs from home instead of hosting one at SoFi Stadium.
Goff’s yardage numbers were impressive (4,638), but that also came on the most attempts of any quarterback with a passer rating of only 86.5. His 22 touchdown passes ranked 16th, he was 14th in yards per attempt and threw the fourth-most interceptions.
He must play better overall by cutting down on the turnovers and improving on deep passes, which was an area of major concern in 2019.
