Or they can look like nothing in preseason and look like nothing in the regular season. You have to take preseason for what it is especially the first game.
You say what Mannion did wouldn't translate to regular season m. This is what I saw. I saw him step up in the pocket put the ball on the money I saw him avoid pressure and step up I saw him complete third downs to keep the drive alive and convert a 3rd down. I saw a guy that kept his composure when all the fumbling and bad snaps was going on. To me all of that can translate to the regular season.
Now in the preseason there is no schemeing at least not yet so you want your backup qb to show they have an understanding of the offense and take care of the ball. All of which he did. He didn't score a touchdown but you can make the case that every time they were threatening to score a negative play happened to push them back.
The outlook of his outing in the preseason shouldn't be about whether he scored a touchdown it should be about how comfortable he looked in the pocket how he commanded the huddle and can he keep drives alive
