Mannion looks solid so far doing extremely well on crossing patterns
Sean Mannion continues to be nails on crossing routes
I really like most of what I have seen from Sean Mannion today.
[Day 2] still liking Mannion
Mike Franke
Sean Mannion had a couple of hiccups in the final 7-on-7 drills mostly for rookies but didn’t have a bad day. His release looks a little weird but he throws a good-looking ball.

watching Mannion I felt like John Sutter finding gold At Sutters Mill..much leaner/quicker then Foles, always surrounded by coaches, getting solid reps as the #2…lot to like..codemonkey
Mannion looks like he could already be the QB2.

Mannion might just be the real deal. I know it’s early and not real yet, but I can’t wait for preseason!
Bold prediction, he’s our #2. I’m not kidding. He’s accurate, athletic, a fast release, and the least intercepted of the 3 non-starters.
CoachO
Mannion wins the backup job. Even after 3 days, he shows much more upside than either Keenum or Davis. It’s just a matter of time before this happens officially, but the sooner the better.

Mannion had the best day for the QBs. He had an interception, and a couple of (well) overthrown balls, but for the most part he was on target. If he can keep this up, #2 QB is his.

He sent that into private circulation and then a guy posted it at ROD…and then a guy copied THAT and posted it on the PD board.
Speaking of which, I figure he has a right to ask me to take it down if he wants.

I was curious if he had started posting again. I think he will start posting again. Things like that have sort of have a momentum of their own. imo
August 1, 2015 at 9:56 pm #27916bnwBlockedWhat is the issue with hammer? Does hammer have good insight at training camp? Imagine paying Mannion as a starting QB while winning ala Wilson and the Seahawks!
The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.
Sprinkles are for winners.

Check this link. I like Mannion, but he isn’t ready yet.August 1, 2015 at 10:01 pm #27918znModeratorWhat is the issue with hammer? Does hammer have good insight at training camp? Imagine paying Mannion as a starting QB while winning ala Wilson and the Seahawks!
Over the years there have been a few good regular camp observers. All of them have their tendencies and ways of seeing things. None of them are always right, though they will tell you that themselves. What’s notable here is that a few different regular observers–Jimi, Mike Franke, and hammer—all see the guy doing good things. They have all been good observers over the years, but my thing is, if they are all 3 seeing something, I would be surprised if there were nothing to it.

But that assumes all three are looking at the same thing at the same time and from the same angle with similar eyesight or optics. Good luck with that.

That’s just the PD board. It’s not really moderated, so conflicts can fester and turn posters into enemies with long memories. My “ignore” list there is so big I lost count. It’s like the wild west. There’s swamps and hostile natives and bears and wolves and tornadoes, but, also, you can get in some good trapping and fishing and sleep under the stars while you’re there.

CoachO has some good insights.

Yes. He’s a good one too, no question. He’s apparently not posting camp stuff now, though. So my list just included the guys commenting on Mannion this year. It’s just the guys I quote in this thread on Mannion. My basic answer to “is hammer a good observer” (paraphrase quote not real quote) is “well yeah but what’s notable is 4 different camp reporters have said similar things.” I would like to hear from the Coach on Mannion, but so far he isn’t one of the regulars saying things. But hearing simultaneously from Mike, hammer, and Jimi counts for something, to the degree the first week of camp gives you anything.

I think he told someone on ROD that he would post later.
August 1, 2015 at 10:19 pm #27926znModeratorI think he told someone on ROD that he would post later.
I will be sure to add him to this thread then, when he does. In fact I look forward to it.
Other guys will be chiming in too…and, I will gather their Mannion comments here.
Every camp, something real happens people see, and it;s always interesting. Last year it was Quick lighting it up. That was big and it held up.

Newest additions are darkblue.

Damn. Interesting cinematography.
I may have to see that one.w
