  • How many other QB's have had complete control of their offense and do it so well? The guy is smart, and if you look at a guy with similar football intelligence like Luck, his skill is evident but what separates him is how he takes his time and puts together 6, 7 minute drives. Bridgewater will be that same type of guy, Manziel is a guy who doesn't operate well out of the pocket, and considering him because he's a "playmaker" is just evidence you eat that shit up that ESPN feeds you.

  • Show me the stats that prove Manziel is an efficient QB in the pocket.

    He definitely bails from the pocket more than any other high-profile QB, which is a terrible quality for a QB.

    Very very interesting mike... Though stats only tell part of the story this really took me by surprise!

  • I will be surprised if he is still around at #4. But if he is, grab him.

  • and if you want to look at the real stats, look at this:

    it's amazing how manziel and bridgewater took more sacks than carr, isn't it?

  • and who did bridgewater have to play?

    (threads about bridgewater...remember?)

  • Flacco played at 1-AA Delaware. That's one of the reason I have a hard time with level of competition. Not to mention, a qb has 10 teammates on the field. A lot of factors can make or break what we THINK we see in one player.

    THERE is the great question, every year....the team AROUND the player, be they QB, WR, etc. I think QB & WR are most affected by their team. A great QB with no OL & WRs who can't catch may look lousy. The WR who plays with no other viable receivers and/or has a dud for a QB could look awful. We could go on & on, but THOSE are the guys that great talent evaluaters can find (often in small schools).

    You mean like asking: Did Johhny Manziel make Mike Evans....or did Mike Evans make Johhny Manziel?

    It's amazing how Manziel had to play defenses like Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Arkansas

    Means nothing.

    Manziel also have 2 potential TOP 10 players playing with him (Evans and Mathews).
