Mannion will get plenty of time Saturday and an extended look in Game 4. I'll be curious to see how he does. The floor for playing against 3rd stringers should be pretty high. I actually expected him to look how he did. Anything less would mean the kid should be looking over his shoulder for a draft pick next year.

Mannion is example A why there should be a developmental league.

Where a guy like him can get reps and playing time.

Eyewitnesses report that Mannion has the best arm of the 3. Continued extra work would pay off in my opinion.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. QB play and coaching have suffered the most from lack of a developmental league.

Why do people make post like this? It was one preseason game.

To talk and discuss a difference of opinions. Not everyone here on this board agreed with the trade. While we all want Goff to succeed because that means the team will succeed it doesnt mean the dialogue has to close.

After Saturday's second half performance is it time for Mannion to get the nod to start while Goff comes up to speed?

"Mannion undoubtedly made some good plays on Saturday, helping engineer the Rams’ fourth-quarter comeback victory over Dallas. The quarterback played the entire second half, completing 18 of his 25 passes for 147 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception."

I know it wasn't against the 1s but after a game like this I think it is time for him to get a pre-season start to see if he is ready for that level.

It's Only week one of the Pre Season, Wait until at least Week #3 before we start talking about QB 1-2-3!!

Goff was a #1 overall and Mannion was drafted 89th overall by this front office.
Mannion was third on the depth charter before Goff's first preseason game.
If Mannion has such a good arm or had high upside this team wouldn't have traded up to grab a franchise QB.

I'm rooting for and like Mannion as much as the next guy but to include him in the conversation as having a future on this team as anything other than a backup is wishful thinking.

Just one fan opinion...

There has been plenty of 3rd rounders or later that became the starter on a team with a number 1 pick.
 
Taken from an article from therams.com

But Goff, of course, is not the only quarterback on the roster. And between Goff, Case Keenum,Sean Mannion, and Dylan Thompson, Fisher said Monday he feels the QBs room is in a better spot than it has been in the past.

"I'm happy with that right now and now it's just a matter of Case leading this football team, Sean positioning himself to come in and back up if need be, and then Jared just pushing himself to where he eventually becomes 'that guy' for us," Fisher said.

I find that strange how fisher worded the backup spot.. have we had it wrong all along is Mannion the number 2 while they groom Goff.

I am all for keeping the PAC 12 Qbs. Keenum I would bump to 3rd and consider trading this year and get another PAC 12 QB. I think the dynamic would work great for us to keep PAC 12 QBs...I dont know just a thought.

In 1 of the 3 TC practices I attended, Mannion had a better day than CK and JG, but I would not say that that makes him the better QB. IMO SM has nothing to lose so it is in his best interest to get the ball out quickly and to the right receiver, which he did on Aug 8, and for the most part against the cowboys. Where as CK and JG are both competing for the #1 spot, so they are more careful and at times hold the ball to long. We already know what we have in CK and that he is good enough to win games as long as he limits his mistakes. Once JG gets confident with what he sees he will begin getting the ball out quicker and with accuracy and it will be clear to all that JG is the best QB on the Rams.

No. He's the 3rd best QB on our team. He might be ahead of Goff right now in terms of understanding the offense but when it comes to pure throwing ability, footwork, etc. he's the 3rd best.

But that's just my opinion I guess.
