Sean Mannion is off to a strong start in camp

By Gary Klein

It comes with the position.

Backup quarterbacks in the NFL, and all levels of football, are accustomed to garnering support from fans unhappy with the starter.

When the endorsement comes from a Hall of Fame player, well, the backup takes notice.

Sean Mannion of the Rams did.

In a television interview before training camp, former Rams running back Eric Dickerson said that he would start Mannion over Jared Goff. Multiple media outlets picked up the comments.

“I don’t like to pay attention to that kind of stuff,” Mannion said Sunday after the team’s second training camp workout. “But at the same time, in today’s day and age, it’s impossible to ignore.

“So I heard about it. I appreciate his comments and I think it’s nice that he’s been supportive of me but those aren’t my decisions to make. I certainly have confidence in my abilities and I feel like if I’m called upon I can do a lot of things to help this team win.”

Mannion, a third-year pro, has looked sharp in camp. And he will have plenty of opportunities during the preseason when Goff exits after an assigned amount of work.
