These type of offenses tend to run their course over time as defenses start to figure them out or injuries start to take away the running effectiveness of the QB but it's hard to imagine that happening this season.
It's starting to look like it's over for the Rams. With Gurley declining their passing game isn't scaring anyone as the McVay scheme has been figured out by defensive coordinators. Also the defense despite having some quality players lacks depth because of all the big money they have handed out to Goff, Gurley, Donald, etc.

Thing is, at least thus far, he is a QB that runs rather than being a running QB. They clearly have soe keeper plays built in for him, but mostly he just drops back and makes decisions from there and if they are playing press or man to man and their backs are turned to him and he sees a lane, then he takes off. Otherwise he is just playing the position really well.
Really impressive stuff.
