Looks like Crappopollo is the one who needs more time to shake off the rust. Against a bad Colts defense he's 5/12 for 97 yards so far in the 1st half with one pass going for 47.

It's ok you can call me out for saying that if you want we're all big boys here. No need to throw out the generic "to the member". It was me and I have no problem with saying it. For weeks now we've been hearing he will be fine he just needs to play with the first team. He misses guys wide open that doesn't happen because he's throwing to backups and being blocked by backups. He's not a very good QB. He's averaging 4 yards an attempt, sorry that's not gonna cut it if he ever has to get in with the first team and we need him.
Perhaps I would be obliged to agree if this game meant anything,
However clearly McVay has a plan and is holding back any real play calling, a blind man can see this, and I’m sure you know this

As for the call out thing, I don’t do that, I was fully aware you’d see it, I guess that particular label just “triggers”? me. (Must be my buried away inner little girl ;))

Ah you don't call people out just go the passive aggressive route. Instead of standing up and directing something at somebody you name call and label me a little girl. That makes a lot of sense.

So the reason Mannion misses wide open receivers, processes slow and makes bad decisions is because of McVays play calling? Got it.

Well my link went to the texans feed so NFL got me to do the free trial again. Will cancel on Friday after I rewatch the shecocks game from last season a few times

Not watching this game for offense and this comical lineup. Defense looks good.

Mannion sucks but he has no shot to look good playing with backups against first string defense.
He has had time and open receivers. Just make a simple pass.

I will admit I am biased against Mannion since I called his pick a "Horrible Pick" by the Rams, but I could see your point about the vanilla play calls but even when Mannion had open players he is throwing mostly behind or too far in front.

He had a couple good throws on the TD drive but that doesn't make up for his other poor throws. Plus his footwork and release is not good. We are going to be in trouble if Goff goes down but you could say that for most teams that lose their starting QB.

#72 is Brian Allen? pushed 2-3 defenders into the EZ for Kelly.
Kelly with GREAT leg drive pushing the pile forward. He's #2 to me.

The dude stinks. If calling out a bad player who is in an important spot is being a "little girl," I accept that label. We need to replace Mannion. That guy will ruin our season if he has to play in multiple games. He's an anchor.
He finished the half 11\12 , it’s a ltttle unfair to make a final judgment when so much of the offense is being held back

Of course you can do better for a backup, but I think you guys are a little harsh in your assessments

We can agree to sorta disagree on this one

Wish I would have used blue font on my opening comment, perhaps I would have if I wasn’t doing this off an iPad

He was throwing underneath soft zones. I'm not going to criticize him for that, but I'm not going to ignore how bad he looked when the Texans challenged him either. The defenses are holding back as much as the offense is. He needs to be replaced.
