As he should....It will also signal how bad we actually are, because if Mannion is what McVay chooses as the best option, then we suck so bad we're gravitational.
How can it be the money, he's full of shit.
The more he runs his mouth the less I like him too.
Oh that was harsh. But it was funny too.
I think reality TV and sports radio have changed him for the worse. He's essentially unlikable and unlistenable and seemingly by design. Maybe he really wants to be that guy.
Wasn't he part of the "team" that drafted Mannion?
Why would he lose his job if he turns out to be better than Goff? That would be a reflection on the previous coaching staff, but certainly not the GM.
It's funny because people forget that Mannion did get into a game last year. He threw 6 passes. He completed 3 for 19 yards, threw a pick six, and fumbled.
I'm certainly not saying that one game is indicative of his ability or anything, but I agree that Mannion wasn't going to fix our problems last year.
What? In three years, Goff posted 96 TDs to 30 Ints. In four years, Mannion posted 83 TDs to 54 Ints. In what world is there an argument for Mannion based on college stats? This journalist needs to do better research.

I lived in Indy when the trade went down with the Colts. He wasn't popular with the fans or media after he had been there awhile.
I saw several Colts games while living there, got to see some of the greats of that era. The Colts were in the AFC East at that time, which makes as little sense as them being in the AFC South but oh well. They weren't that good of a team
I got to see a lot of games with Hall of Fame Players, so that was good.
One of the best moments at any live sporting event I have ever been to happened in the dome there. Sometimes late in games the crowds would thin out like they do in any stadium when the team is losing, and it can get quiet. There was a really bad call against the Colts and after the sparse crowd stopped booing there was silence, then a loud voice yelling "NICE FUCK REF" which echoed through the stadium courtesy of a fan with a megaphone. Most of us there got a laugh out of it. It stuck with me and I still say it to this day once in awhile.
Everyone has an opinion, all based on nothing. Mannion Has never started an NFL game and has barely even played in one. He hasn't taken many 1st team reps in TC either.
Mannion needs to get reps with the 1st team and start at least one pre-season game. We need to see where he's at and what he has.
It's just possible the Rams could be sitting on two very good QB's. Fact is, neither one has had a very good chance to show what they can do.

Goff will get his chance and trust me, if he is not improving Mannion will
Get his shot as well.
Dickerson needs to support the coaches not use his celebrity to cause division.
Anyone can run their mouth, it takes class to show restraint.

The Immaculate Exception
Eric Dickerson is the LaVar Ball of the NFL.
Anywho DxMissile will like this.

Mannion was borderline garbage in 3 college seasons and great in 1. 2 losing seasons and 1 7-6 year. The idea that his college stats are superior in any facet is beyond laughable
He can throw according to the people ED has talked to LOLOL.
You'll never get that from Dickerson.

Alright Gentlemen no worries, Dickerson is entitled to his opinion and we will see soon enough who the best QB is and either Dickerson will dine on some humble pie or Mannion is better than some people think.
I'm not concerned I need to see some games in preseason and although that is not always a prelude to success, IMO, if Goff can showcase command of the offense and turn the ball over less, then I feel good about September Morn.
