From the Twitter of Falcons reporter D Orlando Ledbetters (one of the best names in sports journalism today)...

 

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said Johnny Manziel is the consensus best QB in the draft.

 

I think Bridgewater and others are better, but I'm not exactly a Manziel fan.

 I would take Bridgewater over Manziel because I believe he has more upside as an NFL quarterback..  I he feel enters the upcoming NFL Draft  the consensus top signal-caller and a projected top-five pick. If Bridgewater had been in the 2013 NFL Draft, he probably would have been the first quarterback selected and could have gone at the top of the first round.

I agree with you on Bridgewater. He's a much more polished player. I think Manziel will be decent enough in the long run, but he's going to need more time to develop into an NFL quarterback. I see a lot of RG3 in manziel.

No issues with Bridgewater's skills. I think he's the best QB in the draft on that front.  My worry with him is his frame.  A sub 200 guy playing in the NFL?  He definitely should bulk up.

 

Manziel?  I honestly believe he's gonna be a massive bust.

Bridgewater will get bigger with a couple years of NFL weight training.

Manziel could be a huge bust. I'm a big believer that you can do anything if you're willing to put in the work. He definitely is going to take a while to develop into a sound NFL quarterback, but whether he comes around or busts is going to depend on his work ethic and if he's willing to be coached up.

Could be, but when I look at him I see the next Ryan Leaf (though a shorter version).

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
