    Long post that really says not a fucking thing.

    Nope, it says exactly what Gipper was getting at- so pay attention. He was pointing out- just because Manziel had great college stats, was drafted in the first round, (or I may add, just because he won a Heisman) is far from a 100% guarantee he's going to be a great qb in the NFL That's what the majority of the Manzealots are 100% certain of- and as Corso would say- "not so fast, my friend."

    Theres a ton of Non red letter names on there.. Why assume Johnny is one of them and not one of the good ones?

    We're assuming NOTHNG. Just pointing out the historical odds. Manziel was drafted at the exact same slot as Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden. Aaron Rodgers got picked in the same neighborhood. I'd say the odds of him being the former, as opposed to the latter are around equal.

    I wouldnt put Drew Bledsoe as a bust.

    #1st round QBs have much better odds vs undrafted free agent QBs at not being busts.

    BTW, anyone that would call Manziel a bust without him even starting a single game is lacking football knowledge.

    Yes, some around here have called Manziel that- but not anyone who has a shred of football acumen. Some were calling for Pettine to get fired before the season started.The heavy betting odds were Hoyer wasn't going to make it past the bye week as the starter either.

    Archie Manning sucked

    He was a bust. He never amounted to anything except he fathered Superbowl winning QB's

    His stats weren't much- but I'll argue he was hampered by having to play on some of the worst teams in NFL history.

    Well Mik..

    There is a Gym in the complex he lives..

    A hot tub.. a pool... a lounge... a swanky roarin 20's style speakeasy.. an art gallery and a variety of things in the building... theres even AN INDOOR DOG PARK.. and MULTIPLE RESTAURANTS.. all in his building.

    These are called... AMENITIES...

    Seeing as how he lives in a place where hundreds of other people live and stay..

    People SHARE these AMENITIES...

    Therefore.. because he doesnt have his own property/house where he can relax and do various different things late at night.. he has to do them in the complex he LIVES...

    So lets say he was chatting it up with the local millionaires club in the cigar room in his hotel/condo.. then he went to the levator maybe to head up to the pool to take a relaxing night swim...

    then BAM.. Cracked out Cokehead waiting to attack...

    The whole complex is considered his home..

    He shares it with hundreds of others..

    Why doesnt this happen to other big name quarterbacks?

    Because they have houses in the suburbs and wives and children and shit.. they dont share anything with anyone

    And as you go later into the rounds, more red would appear (if held to the same standards)

    I did this for AP stats in HS based on QBR and round taken. There is a correlation. At least I think it was QBR, maybe we used something slightly different. Something that was pretty fair for determining"good" vs "bad"...

    Exactly, how often does this have to be pointed out? QB success correlates pretty well with round taken. I did a similar analysis. To summarize, if you take the top 20 QBs in history and group them by round taken, the most highly represented round is the first. Gip is right in that being a 1st round pick doesn't guarantee success, but QBs picked in the first round are still the most likely to succeed.

    Bledsoe was the first choice to play Mary's ex-boyfriend in Something About Mary, but then he got bad publicity for the mosh pit thing and role eventually went to Brett Fav-ra after Steve Young passed because the content was too racy.

    He presumably gets the ball from his bodyguard, tries to throw the ball where the dog is expecting, sees a better opportunity, runs around a bit, and then throws it somewhere completely unexpected. But, the dog had a great time, and so did everyone who saw it, so let's just keep doing that.

  • Archie Manning sucked

    He was a bust. He never amounted to anything except he fathered Superbowl winning QB's Browns149

    *********************************************************

    This is ignorant. Way too much ignorant.Too much of that around here.

    ********************************************************

    Drafted by the Saints, 1971, second pick overall.

    Attended Ole Miss, started 3 yrs. In his first prime time game broadcast,
    he threw for 436 yds and three touchdowns, also rushing for 104 yds. in a 33-32 loss to Alabama.
    Played for the Saints for ten full seasons.
    In 1978, he was named the NFC Player of the Year by UPI after leading the Saints to a 7–9 record. That same year, Archie was also named All-NFC by both the UPI and The Sporting News.
    Manning was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1978 and 1979.

  • The real hoodoo on Manziel is the spot where he was drafted - which has not been kind to recent Browns Quarterbacks. On a positive note, if Manziel is not able to play QB, he's athletic enough we can convert him into a wide receiver or a Safety. Converted quarterbacks often do well in those spots.

    It says who was and who was not a bust among first round drafted QBs. I mean, did you like miss that? What were you looking for? Fairy dust?

  • Here's another good sign for Johnny. Colin Cowherd says he will never last in the nfl. This is easily the 5th time cowherd has done this and he's been wrong every previous time. Most famously, he said Bama would knock him out of last year's game and win by 30+. They won 49-42 and manziel put 562 yards on them.

    Johnny hears this. It motivates him. When he jits the field, he will desperately want to prove he can play.

    Again, you all seem to be missing the point. Nothing is assumed.....it merely points out the crapshoot nature of a first round draft pick QB.

    Right.....we cannot assume that Johnny will be one of the red letter names.......nor can we assume....as you seem to....that he will not be one.

    List the undrafted rookie qbs and you could make a great argument against Hoyer. Chill the fuck out until Johnny actually plays. He may be a bust or he may not be a bust.

    That is the exact fucking point of my post. Did you not read? It is those clamoring for JFF who think he should play now and who think he is their savior that need to chill out until he actually plays. All I am saying is that history shows that a vast perecentage of QBs taken in the first round are busts......and that to be absolutey convinced that JFF will be on the positive side of that ledger is just ignoring history.

    We're 7-4, and have a rookie qb in a great situation compared to Bridgewater, Bortles, Carr ect., who are on garbage teams. Shitty teams contribute a lot more towards a qb being a bust than is giving credit for

    Possibly true. On the other hand sometimes a good QB can break his team out of their shittiness. Brady may be one of those guys, since you mentioned him.

    . How do you think Tom Brady (although not a first rounder) would have turned out if he would've been the Brown's starter back in the early 2000s?

    I don't know....how about hopping on Mr. Sherman's way back machine and have the Browns take him instead of Spergon Wynn.

    Basically your post says, "Johnny may be a bust, so let's hope he's a bust." Quit bashing our rookie qb. Did you get beat up in high school or something? Are you one of those guys that pees in a stall and is mad at everyone?

    Brady did not make the Patriots great. Look at their games from a season before and although they didn't have the best record almost every loss was within 3 points. Also a season before that they were 8-8. It was hardly a shitty team that was carried by a qb.

    No, fucking dumbass. I am saying, Johnny may be a bust, but let's hope he isn't.

    You seem so familiar with these events. Must be the story or your life. Certainly not mine. This is stuff I would never even imagined. Apparently you didn't have to imagine them.

    The season before Brady took over as QB of the Pats, they were 5-11. Even the Browns who went lkie 2-14 or 3-13 beat them. I know, that is the first game I went to after they "came back". You clearly have no knowledge of NFL history.
