So we finally got to see the No. 1 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft under center.

Yes, quarterback Jared Goff got his first start of his career against the Miami Dolphins. He was OK at best, going 17-of-31 for 134 yards and a net passer rating of 65.8. One might argue those numbers are bad, but it’s understandable considering the cast of players around him.

But if there is a problem, Pro Football Focus’ Nathan Jahnke points it out:

The Rams fell to the Dolphins 14-10, and it’s clear Los Angeles has few offensive strengths. The only offensive bright spot was a 24-yard touchdown run by running back Todd Gurley.

But two third-down conversions on 13 attempts will still be enough to question head coach Jeff Fisher’s job security.
