Much has been made about Jared Goff’s improvement in his second season, and rightfully so. He’s looked like a completely different quarterback, completing 60 percent of his passes for an average of 245 yards per game with nine touchdowns and four interceptions.

His development goes beyond the stat sheet, too. He’s looking off defenders, throwing with anticipation and moving far better in the pocket. Everything about his play has been substantially better than last season.

To put it into perspective, his passer rating change has been one of the best in NFL history. According to the Rams’ media guide, Goff has improved his passer rating by 26.7 points. That’s the fourth-largest improvement from a quarterback’s rookie season through Week 8 of Year 2, only trailing Derek Carr, Jeff Garcia and Josh Freeman.

Goff ranks 14th in passer rating at 90.3, but that number was far higher earlier in the season. Through the first four weeks of the season, Goff’s passer rating was 112.2. In the past three games, it’s been just 65.9, dropping his overall mark by a whopping 21.9 points.

It won’t get any easier for the second-year quarterback on Sunday against the Giants, but not having to face Janoris Jenkins should ease the burden. Still, New York’s secondary and pass rush are among the best in the league, even if their 1-6 record doesn’t reflect it.
