  • Geez, Renner? Never heard of him. Shaw was awesome in the bowl game,

    and his win record over his career is impressive.

  • Renner played at North Carolina 4 years

    Comp.% yds. TD INT. Rating

    Renner 66 8221 64 25 151.2

    Shaw 64 5762 53 16 153.2

    Fairly close Renner could be had in 7th round or FA.

  • Well if it's true that the browns are going for manziel at least we'll have another high pick three years from now. Any good qb prospects coming out in 2017?

    never heard of either one of them.

    at least we know if we pick a clowney or watkins and BPAs for the first 4 rounds, those guys will still be around................

    Renner plays in a wide open 5 WR spread O we need a Pro Style QB

  • Should Johney be given any credit for playing in the SEC? Should bortles be scrutenized for playing in Con USA?

    Theres no comparison between the two...

    There are a lot of NFL players on SEC defenses.

    They didn't play a whole lot of defense in the SEC this year.

  • SEC is the best conference in the country but still wildly overrated.

  • Bortles over Manziel all day long. 6-3 230 big arm, nice touch, good accuracy beats 5-11 200 running-for-his-life, throwing jump balls into traffic, getting broken in-half by a cornerback blitz.

  • Good piece about Manziel from QB guru George Whitfield Jr.

  • I swear if it's Manziel, that might just be the last straw. I'm not kidding.

  • It's obvious I'm a Manziel supporter, but I'm willing to admit this. He's easily the biggest boom or bust guy in recent memory. He's a lot better throwing the football than most of you care to admit (and scouts agree with me) but his frame is a concern. What I do know is this: Manziel would bring passion to this team. He's not going to look like the Retard qbs we've had who trot off the field and look lost and don't give a shit. He's going to take chances down the field and extend plays with his athletic ability. I'm willing to jump into the deep end and take a damn chance. It'll sure as shit be better than taking these mediocre back-up caliber guys and watching 4-12 seasons.

    The FO isn't stupid. They know this draft is pivotal to them having jobs in the nfl, with the centerpiece being the QB they undoubtedly pick. If they choose Manziel, I'll be all for it. His game translates to NFL success.

    I'm with you on Johnny. I also feel he has the highest ceiling of all the QBs, BUT also the lowest downside...definitely boom or bust. Because of that & the fact we have plenty of picks, I would like to see us draft him with pick 1A & take another QB with one of our 3rd round picks....call it insurance.

    The kid is INSTANT excitement & his passion for the game is contagious. He demands the best from himself AND his teammates on BOTH sides of the ball. He may be small but he's a tough guy & his pros far outweigh the cons. IMHO, he's well worth the gamble.

    We need a Pro style coach,first 😛

  • His touch,scrambling ability are great IMO.I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for his throwing ability.

    And in this day of protecting the QBs and stopping the crazy hits...chances are better than ever for him to succeed.

  • I have to admit, Canton Mike is starting to convince me about Manziel being the great pick.

    Johnny does have that fire, fierceness, love for the game, competitiveness and toughness, and

    bigtime football smarts.

    Although, I still wonder if Manziel is better off playing in a dome. Look at his college schedule.

    Plays southern teams. How does he function in Nov and Dec in the swirling winds and snow

    and rain in a northern open air stadium? Can he still be Manziel the escape artist? Can he

    make the required throws vs the wind ?

    In college, he almost always played in nice weather. That won't happen even if he is drafted

    by a team with a dome. Throwing into tight windows in those conditions?

    I don't know. But I can't really be all in with Johnny Manziel just yet, because it's too much fun to

    make jokes and disagree with Canton Mike over the phone. 🙂

  • Like others have said, Manziel has the highest chance of boom or bust. He either comes in barnstorming or ends up being a small, running QB who gets his brains mashed in.

  • Well if it's true that the browns are going for manziel at least we'll have another high pick three years from now. Any good qb prospects coming out in 2017?

    Winston may be getting out of prison around that time...
  • I am torn between the two ... today I lean toward Johnny ... but why isn't Derek Carr in the conversation? Why is Bortles a better prospect than Carr?

    (I'm not being a smartass ... I am just now jumping into this discussion, and I want to know what everyone thinks.)

    As someone pointed out: Roethlisberger, Flacco, Romo, Kaepernick, Alex Smith, Cutler, and a few others did not play at high profile football schools. Getting a guy from UCF may not be that bad. Daunte Culpepper played there, and he was pretty good.
