Dude on CBS radio this morning saying Texans are better off with Clowney in 1st and Mett in 2nd rather than JFF in 1st and whatever DE in 2nd.... fwiw
I just don't see why anyone would concider drafting Manziel higher than the 4th round to begin with. Maybe it's because LSU dominated him twice, but I've never been impressed with him at all. I just don't see that circus act working well in the NFL at all. You can't always just run around and throw jump balls to Evans in triple coverage all day. He will be in Arena football in 5 years.

I think JFF will have more success than you do, but I don't think he will dominate the NFL like some are predicting.

I'm not a Manziel apologist, but you can only say this if you have observed a very small sample of his complete body of work.
I am not saying he's No. 1 overall material. I'm just saying that he has displayed impressive skills in a considerable number of instances.

I agree he will struggle. Dude's that short not named Drew Brees struggle.

People said the same for Flutie - he did ok for himself…

The same. People want to go back to Wilson and talk about how he's doing it, but forget that Wilson was a better QB to begin with. He's not erratic and he doesn't just throw it up for grabs to his WRs
The majority of JF's WRs are 6'2+ so all he has to do is wait til one gets open and chunk it up.
Also had Wilson not been good at the 3RD ROUND PICK he was drafted at, how would Manziel be viewed? Seems like the success of others are getting guys drafted a lot higher than they should. Bortles is nowhere near first round material and Manziel isn't either. Bortles should pray to Kap and Newton for their success and Manziel should hold up a shrine to Wilson.

Evidently he's testing really well. I was never impressed with his arm and feel his passing game will limit him at the next level. He got away with a lot of stuff in college he will not in the NFL. Depends on the system. Guess you could say that for any QB though.
