Manziel Question
Posted on 5/12/14 at 3:08 pm

While he was a great colleg QB, why do so many think he will be a good/franchise NFL QB?
He is basically a smaller, weaker but quicker Tim Tebow. And everybody with a brain knew Tebow could't make it as an NFL QB.
So, why again, will JFF be anything other than a bust?

Most people don't think he will be a franchise QB.

Much better passer than Tebow, but I don't think his "scramble first, pass second" method will work in the NFL.

He relied on his arm a hell of a lot more than Tebow did. He can actually throw the ball
He threw for 4,114 yards last season and 37 tds. The most yards tebow ever threw for was 3,286 as a sophmore. 2,895 as a senior

Other than being incredibly popular JFF and Tebow have nothing in common. Tebow had a sloooooow release and couldn't throw running to his right.

He's nothing like Tim Tebow. Best current pro that comes close to him at this early point is Mike Vick. Even with that said, Manziel is a more accurate passer than Vick was coming out of college.

He almost always won when I watched....its sad he didn't get a legit shot.

No, not really

Manziel has too weak of an arm to play in Cleveland and in that division.

I kind of compare JFF to Reggie Bush, both were the most dynamic players while they were in college, but the overall speed of the league negated Bush's outside running.
JFF didn't do very well in two games against LSU's defense, which has comparable speed to NFL defenses.

He had the highest completion percentage of all the major conference QB's inside the pocket last year. That alone should debunk your assumption.

Colt McCoy is a much better comparison. Even got drafted by the same team.
