Jared Goff Named Rams Starting QB over Case Keenum

The Los Angeles Rams remained committed to quarterback Case Keenum through the first 10 weeks of the regular season, but the team has decided to make a change at the position.

On Tuesday, the Rams announced Jared Goff will start against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11.

On Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the move could be on the horizon.

"The Rams would like to trot out Goff for his first NFL start at home, in front of a friendly and receptive crowd. But before Los Angeles makes that decision, it wants to see how Keenum plays Sunday," Schefter wrote. 

While Keenum has completed a career-high 61 percent of his passes, he's thrown 11 interceptions compared to nine touchdowns. 

Goff underwhelmed throughout the preseason when he completed 44.9 percent of his passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, but the Rams have nothing to lose at this point. 

The front office tabbed the California Golden Bears product as the team's quarterback of the future when he was selected first overall, and getting him game reps now in advance of the 2017 season could help accelerate his development. 

The Rams currently sit in third place in the NFC West at 4-5.
