Quote:The idea he is not comfortable in the pocket comes from video evidence. Pictures speak louder than words, especially motion pictures. Remember this is the sane guy who said he will measure exactly six feet and was a quarter inch short of that. His private workout on March 27 will tell us how comfortable he is in the pocket if we don't know yet.
Your height can very up to an inch through out the day, when he just wakes up he may be 6'1.

I read he was measured early in the morning, so he can't be 6-1 when he wakes up.

He may have been awake hours before he was measured.

He has always sounded ridiculous. I don't make up unbelievable crap just to endorse a quarterback.

I'm only thirteen and people are making stuff up to hurt Manziel!

The first red flag for me was when Nick Foles declared Manziel the most "accurate passer" in the draft

 

His posts careened down hill from there

Explains your flawed analysis
Quote:I'm not trolling and he doesn't feel more comfortable outside the pocket, he said so himself. I have seen him make incredible deep throws in the pocket I don't believe Bridgewater is capable of, please don't ignore me, Wiseman is the one trolling.
If you actually do believe this, I will confidently call you clueless.

Clueless might actually be an understatement

he is...
Quote:he is...
That is literally the stupidest thing I have heard from a Manziel fan

 

Die hard manziel fans don't even believe that
Quote:says the geno fan...
Yes. I am a Geno fan. And I believe he will be a good QB in this league. What's your point?
Quote:he is...
He's not. In fact, he's not even close. LOL.

He may not be the most accurate passer in of the top prospects but he's not far off.  His completion percentage is identical to Bridgewater's ya' know?

There's lots to question about his game and whether he'll be able to adapt to passing from the pocket more  -  but the ball goes where he intends it to go most of the time.

Nobody makes up anything to hurt Manziel. People make stuff up to hurt Bridgewater.
Quote:I thought Manziel came across very well in the press conference. Personally he excites me. It is a big risk, we know this, but the upside is just so large.


The problem we have at this time, is we have so many holes that need filling, I don't feel we're in a position to risk such a high pick. If I were the Texans, I personally would risk it. They only really need a QB. They could take Manziel and Fales and see what happens.


For us, I don't think Watkins should be a consideration. Our WR core is one of the strongest parts of the organisation at the moment. Especially if Blackmon returns (which I think he will). For me it's Clowney or Bridgewater. I believe one of the 2 will be there at 3
 

Manziel did come off well in the press con, though I did not like his answer regarding his "weaknesss", where he didn't really discuss a "real" weakness (which he has several of). Its a contrast to what Gus said (which is he wants guys who are confident, but also humble enough to understand their weakness). 

 

Could be just a press con thing and maybe Jonny will give a more honest answer behind closed doors, but that was one of the few things he said he didn't like. Still...too high risk of a guy for me to take at #3.
I think smokescreen has got to be one of the most overused terms on this board this time of year. Just because a team or an individual say they like somebody or compliment a player, it doesn't mean they want to draft them. Hell, half the time (if not more) it's in response to a direct question about that player.
I noticed Manziel mentioned Jacksonville and Houston in his presser...Maybe thinks those are his most likely destinations?
