Jared Goff is likely to begin the season as the Los Angeles Rams' No. 3 quarterback.

Goff started the team's preseason finale on Thursday and while Jeff Fisher praised his development throughout training camp and the exhibition slate, the coach simply doesn't think the No. 1 overall pick is ready.

"I think it's going to take a bit more time," Fisher said. "That's not to say he can't be a No. 2 or start, but if we were starting right now, I'd probably have Sean [Mannion] as the No. 2. Because it's all about being patient with [Goff].

"He's not frustrated or anything. He took some hits. He got hit pretty hard last week, and Sunday was a tough day for him, which you guys didn't see. But he did everything he needed to do."
