If we're being fair, we have to consider and list out as many changes to that offense as we can, since their run in 2018.  The above are what I can come up.

I'll leave it up to everyone to decide for themselves where they rank the importance of each, but if you think it's as simple as Zac Taylor leaving then you're ignoring a lot of other things that have hurt that offense.

Amazing what a good run game does to overrate a QB.

2016: Rams 31st Run O / Goff 63.6 QB Rating
2017: Rams 8th Run O / Goff 100.5 QB Rating
2018: Rams 3rd Run O / Goff 101.1 QB Rating
2019: Rams 26th Run O / Goff 86.5 QB Rating
2020: Rams 10th Run O / Goff 90.0 QB Rating

The rankings of Goff's 1st-5th best QB Rating seasons are perfectly in-line to the Ram's 1st-5th best Run Os during those 5 years.
