THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Carson Palmer can appreciate Jared Goffs current predicament better than just about anybody.Palmer spent his entire first NFL season holding a clipboard and watching Jon Kitna lead the 2003 Cincinnati Bengals. The No. 1 draft pick out of Southern California couldnt get on the field even with a Heisman Trophy pedigree.Goff, the No. 1 pick in this years draft, will watch from the sidelines again when the Los Angeles Rams (2-1) visit Palmers Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and the veteran quarterback says thats not a bad spot for a young quarterback -- particularly with Goffs lack of experience in a pro-style offense.If youre not ready, its tough, Palmer said. If youre not ready and you get thrown in there, if you struggle, it can linger.Goff still hasnt taken a regular-season snap for the Rams, who are off to their best start in a decade -- admittedly not a high bar to clear for a team that hasnt made the playoffs since 2004.While several rookie quarterbacks around the league have already begun their careers, Los Angeles is taking a gradual approach with its top choice while Case Keenum runs the offense. Coach Jeff Fisher repeatedly has said the Rams have no timetable on Goffs development.Im happy for young quarterbacks when they have success, but we have our own sense of timing here with him, Fisher said.Palmer was 23 years old with four seasons of college experience during his rookie NFL season, while Goff only turns 22 next month after three years at California. Palmer sees the benefit in buying developmental time for a teams quarterback of the future when the team is doing well with its quarterback of the present.The Rams are different, Palmer said. Thats a very good team. They dont need to throw a rookie in there and (make) him learn on the run and the team suffer. Theyve got a veteran that has their team at the top of the division.The Rams have back-to-back wins, but their offense is the NFLs least productive -- the same spot it held last season -- and only scored its first touchdowns of the season last week at Tampa Bay. Keenums passer rating is 66.1, the NFLs second-lowest among regular players after the New York Jets Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw six interceptions last week.Meanwhile, Carson Wentz -- picked second last spring by Philadelphia -- is off to a roaring start as the Eagles starting quarterback. Dallas Dak Prescott, New Englands Jacoby Brissett and Clevelands Cody Kessler have all stepped on the field as rookies.None of it has budged the Rams on their plan to develop Goff with deliberation.The (rookie) quarterbacks are having success because of injuries, Fisher said. Had we not had the injuries that we did in the league, probably all four of those quarterbacks either would be inactive or backups.Fisher isnt wrong: Injuries to Teddy Bridgewater, Tony Romo, Jimmy Garoppolo, Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown -- and Tom Bradys suspension -- cleared a path for those rookie quarterbacks. Yet Wentz in particular has seized the opportunity provided to him, making Rams fans wonder when Goff will get the same chance.The Rams quickly realized Goff would need time to learn the intricacies of a pro-style offense after playing in Californias spread scheme. Keenum gets most of the practice time with the Rams first-string offense, leaving Goff to learn by observation and in film sessions.Palmer became the Bengals starter in 2004 and was one of the leagues top passers by 2005. Now a three-time Pro Bowler, the 36-year-old veteran is eager to see what the Cardinals division rivals do with their prize pick.You either throw the guy in there, or you let him sit back and rest, and only the coach can make that decision, Palmer said. The head coach makes the decision whats best for the team, and obviously he thinks its best for the team for Jared to sit and watch and learn.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vente Yeezy Boost 350 .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Before the gold, before the glory, there were tears.From the coaches.Long before the stunning exhibition on Thursday night that earned her the Olympic all-around title, Simone Biles was just a prodigy in the USA Gymnastics developmental program. She and coach Aimee Boorman would travel regularly to the Karolyi Ranch about an hour north of their gym in suburban Houston. There national team coordinator Martha Karolyi and her staff would offer pointers not just to the young girls but the adults entrusted with harnessing all that talent and turning them into champions.And, Karolyi being Karolyi, the message didnt always come across with a hug and a smile.(The coaches) would go back to our rooms with each other and we would cry, Boorman said. Martha said, `I made you guys cry? `Oh Martha you have no idea.Boorman can laugh about it now that shes through it. When she woke up on Friday morning, she was the coach of the Olympic champion, one who has a legitimate shot at leaving Rio with a record five gold medals by the time event finals are over next Tuesday.Its a path Boorman and Biles carved out carefully, one helped in part by the system Karolyi put in place when she took over in 2001.There was a time where gymnasts eyeing the elite level would have to move to one of the few gyms in the country capable of giving them the proper training. It led to what Karolyi called little fights between private clubs instead of fostering a sense of team unity, so she scrapped it. Karolyi figured if she could find a way to guide the coaches as well as the athletes early in their respective careers, then the girls could stay home and still receive the mentoring needed to flourish.We wanted to give the right guidance for the young and upcoming coaches who never had anything to do with our program, Karolyi said.The proof of its success can be measured in two ways: in the 91 world championship and Olympic medals (and counting) the U.S. has won under Karolyis guidance and the length of the relationships between most members of the Final Five and their coaches.Boorman and Biles have been together 13 years. Five-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman and Mihai Brestyan a dozen. Laurie Hernandez and Maggie Haney 11. Madison Kocian and Laurent Landi nearly a decade.Haney considers herself and Hernandez the poster children for the Talent Opportunity Program (TOPs) run by USA Gymnastics.ddddddddddddWeve literally grown through the system, Haney said. There is guidance at the top and it spreads out from there.It also created a sense of camaraderie, one where the coaches no longer get anxious when theyre in the training gym together. Those early difficult days under Karolyis tutelage bonded them in ways that resonate today.The girls talk about being a family, Boorman said. But honestly the coaches are too because weve been through this process together.It can also create its own unique challenges. Given the amount of time they spend together -- 30 hours a week or more -- for months and years on end, there are bound to be issues. Asked if there were times when she wanted to tell the exacting, no-nonsense Brestyan to get lost and Raisman just laughs.There are times I wanted to, Raisman said. There are times its just hard. There are times I didnt feel like doing it but he kept pushing. And I know he does that so I dont back down.In that way Brestyan can best be described as Karolyi Lite. Theyve know each other since coaching in Romania, and hes worked extensively at Karolyis side at the ranch for years as a mentor to coaches and athletes alike.The moment you get there, you get remolded for what youre looking for, he said. Theyre coming with the commitment, with the desire but theyre doing a lot of mistakes. We try to share our knowledge, our experiences, our mistakes to put them directly in the line you need to look and you need to go.It can be grueling and sometimes thankless work. Yet it does have its benefits.Rather than file into a tunnel underneath Rio Olympic Arena following the womens gymnastics team final, Raisman ducked away and sprinted straight for Brestyan, slipping the medal around his neck before he could protest. Two nights later after finishing runner-up to Biles in the all-around finals, Raisman did it again, paying tribute to the man who for a dozen years been equal parts mentor, coach and friend.The gesture was not lost on Brestyan. Her drive brought them together. The system and their dedication kept them together.After the results, (usually) the coaches, they dont exist, Brestyan said. Thats a hard feeling for us. But the moment before that when shes winning is the best in the world. ' ' '
