  • Bridgewater. He's a quick, smart thrower who can sense pocket pressure while keeping eyes up. Accurate too.

    May change, but we'll see. I don't think manziel can do much to prove to me he can be an NFL qb. Bortles and Carr are ok. I question Bortles decisions under pressure, and struggles against better defenses. Carr has even more problems - I think he can panic and force passes and slip on accuracy. Kinda weeden style sling and miss sometimes.

    I think Teddy, Bortles, and Carr all could be good NFL QBs. There's risks with them all. Teddy would be my day 1 starter pick, Bortles and Carr I'd want to take some time to learn from a Vet and get used to the NFL speed.

  • Bilgewater.

    Zombo

  • Bridgewater

  • Manziel. I was totally against him due to his cockiness, but I have mellowed out on that. My main concern now is the same as it's been...he is from a conference that (besides Alabama), plays marginal defense (that wouldn't have been written by me 3 years ago).

    I still take a chance on Kenny Guiton if he's on the board later in the draft as well (like round 5 or so).

  • Gun to my head, and they are all available, Bridgewater

  • Bridgewater. Been a hot topic for two years now. Manziel is just a flavor right now. And as far as Bortles goes he's everyones favorite qb no one was talking about 2months ago. I seen enough of Carr's brother.

    Although u want me to pick I may just have u pull the trigger before Im forced to pick from these C+ Qbs.

    Manziel won the Heisman in 2012. The same year Teddy started his first full season.

    Brilliant analysis once again.

    I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride

  • Bridgewater-(at least at this point) that clip in the Hoyer thread convinced me. Plenty mobile enough, quick release, decent accuracy, generally makes good decisions under pressure. Can stand to add 10 pounds- but that shouldn't be a problem when football is your full time job.

  • Manziel. could be great, could bust.

    Bortles comparisons to Roethlisberger without the rape charge

    Bilgewater. most overall acceptance by scouts and media guys who wind up being wrong but...

    Carr. he's the 4th one you listed.

    I would prefer to take a different player at number 4 an ad then see which one of these guys drops to the bottom of the first round. If they are all taken then I go with McCarron or Garappolo in the 2nd or 3rd round.

    by then I will have a top rated receiver, guard, linebacker or safety and running back

  • Derek Carr. He's the most mature QB in the group. Seems the most far along in the transition to the NFL. Maybe it's because his older brother has already been through it, both as a number one overall selection to an expansion team...and as a "bust". I think he understands what it takes to succeed in the NFL. He doesn't seem to have stars in his eyes as to what the NFL is. He wants to be the best, and I see him as a guy that will put in the work needed to do that. He may have the best arm out of the group, he can make all the throws. He's not a scrambler but he's not a statue either. Seems smart enough to manage a team and grounded enough to lead it to success over a long period of time. That's all I can think of right now...

  • BRIDGEWATER- manziel i dont think will hold up- im not sold on bortles at all. I think bridgewater is the 1 most ready for the pros

  • Drum roll, please...

    I take Bortles..

    I take Bortles because of the Big 4 prospects in the draft Blake has:

    • far and away has the best arm; and
    • both the athleticism and physique to survive the learning process that all the prospects will have to endure.

    In short, I see the biggest upside in Bortles.

    yea I like this too...

    Bridgewater for immediate results.

    Bortles for long term potential.

    Carr & John Football for selling home owners insurance.

  • I agree with CDL15, If we want someone to start game one 2014 season I go with Bridgewater. If we are ok starting Hoyer and letting our draft pick develop IF NEEDED I take Bortles for sure.

  • Manziel...yea he is boom or bust I admit it.

    But when the team has lost so much for so long it cant be a bad thing to bring attention to the team. butts in seats ..yea I said it

    and get the browns on national TV. Everybody is gonna wanna watch him to see if he can pull the same magic he did in college.

    Lets face it America is not waiting on the edge of their seats to see if Blake Bortles is gonna be a good QB.

    But having a full stadium with a loud crowd cant hurt. Being on TV cant hurt. Having a buzz and excitement about the team and the future cant hurt.

    Honestly the three QBs are close.But Manziel brings these other things to the table as well.And if he has a great year...then players will wanna play with him....

    Yea I guess it all works in my dreams.. and butts in seats and being on TV doesn't equate to wins , But skills being equal among the three,this is something the other two do not have.

    That hype will only last so long then it will be down to whether not he delivered on it. If he does then you are right. If he doesn't the only attention we get is talking about another badly broken pick. As far as butts in the seats amazingly enough I think we could start a dog at QB and the stadium would fill.

  • But if he is doing great things the attention would be great! He and the Browns would be the talk of the league. And im not sure but I don't think the stadium was real full the last part of the year. Im sure someone can get attendance numbers

    If we become a contender who cares if we're featured on sports center every day.

    Winning will be good enough, with or without manziel. KC became the talk of the town anyway, without manziel.

  • yea..id take KCs season next year.I just know Id be excited to see Manziel in Cleveland...the other two...meh
