First QB to go in the draft?

[Swan]

I really think Manziel gets too much hate from people. His off-field "issues" have completely overwhelmed his on-field brilliance. This isn't an excuse, but being the first freshman Heisman winner is a big deal, and Johnny took advantage of his newfound celebrity. Let's remember that he was 19 or 20 years old at the time, and for people to require "maturity" at the college age is just unfair. Also, the press went bonanzas trying to get stories of his shenanigans, so the whole "maturity" thing is very much irrelevant as most college kids (especially star athletes) do much of the same, but don't get hunted down by paparazzi and news reporters. Nevertheless, Johnny has shown much progression from last year to this year.

 

I am by no means a Johnny hugger (I go to UT, I should hate the guy), but he can play football. 

 

*Bridgewater coming out officially today, not too surprising.

I don't think it's a maturity thing at all for me. It's the fact that he isn't an NFL QB. He's small, he's not very accurate, and he's surrounded by talent that make him look far superior to what he is. Sure, he gets away with running around in circles in college football, then heaving it down the field to a wide open Mike Evans, but in the NFL? That won't last.

[Matthias]

If teams are consider Manziel at all, why not consider a guy like Connor Shaw?  Shaw has more upside than him if you ask me. 

[Darth Biscuit]

I think pro defenses will beat Manziel to pieces.

he has by far the best elusiveness and will to win. He is a baller I would take him if I was houston. WORST CASENARIO, YOU SUCK AND GET JAMEIS WINSTON. I honestly think winston can be better than luck rg3 all of them hes soo good.

Bridgewater to Texans

Vikes trade with Rams to prevent Jags getting Bortles

 

After that it's probably Mazniel (dobut he goes 3, probably goes to Browns), Carr, Hundey.

[stirs]

At this point, I think the new coach of the Texans will lean toward the Bortles kid.

[BBQ&Beer]

Bridgewater is the best but i could see Houston taking Manzel.

[Swan]

Bortles looking awful tonight.

Yet again, QBs getting exposed playing against "solid" collegiate defenses. Strength of conference is a real and important factor.

Bortles just isn't very good. defenses have little to do with mechanics, footwork and making good decisions

I agree to a certain extent. However, defenses are a factor in how quarterbacks perform. Bortles played in a softer conference, and his stats and perormance were padded by that fact. No way he goes in the first, calling it right now.

[Mr. Scot]

Bridgewater is easily the best QB in this class.

 

Agreed.

 

 

Manziel is so overrated its unreal.

 

Also agreed.

Yep.

Manziel reminds me a Locker when Locker was his best outside of the pocket.

 

And we see how Locker did
