    And why can't Manziel be a pocket passer?

    Because of his college scheme? Because Shanahan was a shitty offensive coordinator last year?

    It's unlikely that he becomes one, but there are plenty of examples of mobile quarterbacks who are efficient pocket passers and have/had solid careers- Wilson, Rodgers, Stabler, Young, Moom and Tarkenton.

    Just because he can run doesn't mean he should run. That's the biggest problem "mobile" QB's face.

    Also - here's a decent article about he success of rushing quarterbacks in the NFL.

    And the difference is the QB's you mentioned besides Wilson came from "Run' first offenses in College.. They learned in the Pocket first Mentality scheme..They didnt have much in the way of "Spread offenses" back then. Tark had a crap line and was forced to run and he was a Magician at it

    Not really. Rodgers played under Jim Tedford, who was considered to be somewhat of a spread, system coordinator. Granted, Tedford's system enabled quarterbacks to make pre-snap reads, but it's still more spread influenced than pro-style. Rodgers gunned the ball all over the field, it was not a run first offense.

    I personally wish we could trade Manziel.. I see him as nothing but a major distraction to this team. And that is weather or not he succeeds or not as a QB.. I think its a distraction this team does not need.. I personally hope he falls flat on his head and we dump him,. I want a pocket passer.. That's where the game is won.... Think about it.. Randall Cunningham, Michael Vick and Donovan 'choke' McNabb have netted 0 championships.

    How long does it take for something learned to become one's "nature"?

    If you ask JM to not run, that will be the 2nd change he's had to make as a pro... 3rd if you count actually learning an offense.

    It's a lot to ask.

    Well, studies claim it takes 21 days to make something a habit...

  • more like 21 years.

    hiccup.

    Donovan McNabb went to 5 NFC championship games and a Super Bowl, 6 time Pro Bowler. If a Browns QB put that type of resume up before I die I'd name my first born son after him.

    really? i'd rather have a son that can speak literate english and not sound like one of the cosby kids.

  • If he is, were fucked.

    Because with Johnny starting the team be in such a better position to succeed?!?!

    If Manziel can't beat out McCown then McCown is the best choice for this team.

  • Meanwhile Gip will sit out OTAS for more money. Dude praises giving thanks for God all the time on Twitter but certainly isn't thankful for the money he's making

    Not to take this the religious route but that dude is all in Gods dick then screws the team for money. I get its a business but shits just so backwards with ppl sometimes

    Four inch height difference plus a 25 degree knee bend difference...seems about right to me. McCown is a lanky fuck.

  • Growing up, dedication, work ethic, desire to be the best they can be...

    and all that talent - looks like they will be ready to roll 2015

    Mud,

    I can't explain it, but I'm not sure about Gilbert & I'm thinking Manziel will do ok.

    Either way, time will tell. I'm hoping they BOTH do well.
