It's been a disappointing season so far for Jared Goff. There were high hopes for the starting QB to perform at a high level after leading the Los Angeles Rams to their first Super Bowl in recent memory. However, he has since dropped off, and critics aren't considering the team as favorites to come out of the NFC any longer.

It would be easy to think that Goff would fade against the San Francisco 49ers the same way he did in most of the Rams games this season. However, there's a reason to believe that the QB will be able to bounce back and put on a strong performance against the 49ers for the victory. This piece will discuss the reasons why the QB will be able to play at his expected level once again this season.

It's true that Goff has been nothing short of disappointing this season. It's true that he isn't the worst QB in the NFL at the moment, but the way he's operated over the past couple of games leaves a lot to be desired. And he knows this better than anyone.

Goff himself admitted earlier in the season that they expected themselves to perform better and are disappointed with their quality of play so far.

CBS Sports detailed his thoughts on the team's performance:

“For us internally, our standards are so high, especially offensively,” Goff said this week, per the Associated Press. “We expect to be better, and we need to be if we want to win games late in the year. We've been fortunate enough to do enough to win these past three games, but we know that in certain games down the road, it won't be enough. We need to elevate that standard even further and continue to be detailed and be sharp on offense.”

Since Goff is more aware of it than anyone, he'll be eager to prove doubters wrong with his play. One of the big aspects of his game he'll be putting a lot of focus on is his long-range game. It's become a liability over the first five games with his inaccuracy. He'll be looking to improve that aspect of this game, and the 49ers are the perfect opponent for it.

Moreover, he wants to return to the Super Bowl. After suffering such a terrible defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots last time out, he will refuse to go out like this. He will do everything in his power to lead the team back to a Super Bowl appearance.

However, he has to win games in order to return to the Promised Land. And in order to win games, he has to brush up his game. This is why he's primed for a big game against the 49ers in Week 6.
