Former Pres Bush expected to be at what is being called "biggest pro-day ever at A&M" tomorrow.


Quote:he would be the most excited Qb Jville has seen since Mark Brunell. Why is that bad thing? That was the last time our team did anything in the post season and the seats were filled. To me it's a no brainer. Draft him or hold the draft for ransom when the Jags are on the clock. 
 

I still don't know that he's worth taking #3 overall, but with his short stout build and mobility and gutsy play in college he reminds me of Brunell before the knee injury. I could live with that level of QB.

Quote:Bias? Yeah, you bet I'm biased. He handled the pressure of playing QB at Texas A&M so well that his own father said Johnny would be happier in jail than on a football field. His physical skills put him at a first-round level, no doubt, but I don't want Kerry Collins 2.0 to set the Jaguars back by another decade when he up and quits during his third year.
You mind hooking me up with some lottery numbers?

You do not draft a QB because he is excited, has buzz.

You draft the QB who will become the guy, when you start winning. There will be buzz and excitement.

Right now Johnny is  SHINY, ohhh got to have that.

 

 To me it's a no brainer. Draft him or hold the draft for ransom when the Jags are on the clock.

 

Provided the other teams feel as strongly as you do.

 

That was the last time our team did anything in the post season and the seats were filled

 

Winning will do that, but you have to Win first.

and that is done by drafting the QB who GM and HC feel is the best path forward.

Johnny may not be that person.

 

I am not saying he is a bad qb, I just refuse to be caught up in the SPIN.

My only negative on him was that he looked pretty small. Did they weigh him at the pro day?

uh, you sir are preaching to the choir. I would like a little excitement if Dave goes QB in the first. But I'll be happy as heck if we capitalized on the johnny hype and traded back.

It would be great if someone channeled their inner "DITKA"

 

How many picks does Oakland have?

Quote:I would say he's performed the best of the qbs so far as far as pro days go. (and yes I know people dont think pro days matter) but he's handled the pressure of the situation very well which is a positive
 

 

Good eye, Gus seemed to notice in particular Manziel's response to pressure too.

Quote:“The atmosphere and everything that was involved and then to come out and perform like he did, that was great,” Bradley said. “I think that’s no different than how he’s performed all year, right? Perform under pressure. Felt like more of a pressurized environment with a lot of eyes watching him and he did a great job.”  -Jacksonville’s Gus Bradley
 

I want 3 players. Clowney, Bridgewater, Manziel. Jaguars have the number 3 pick. Just give me one of those 3 at 3, and I'm happy.

Quote:Mayock impressed with Manziel's Pro Day


Johnny Manziel | CLG


(March 27, 2014 2:50 PM EDT)


NFL Network's Mike Mayock was impressed with Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel's Pro Day.


Pro Days rarely change the opinion of an experienced evaluator, but can highlight concerns. Mayock said that wasn't the case with Manziel. "He can make every throw mechanically," Mayock said. "His arm strength is on par with that of (UCF QB Blake) Bortles. He had that beautiful spontaneity on the run and he's confirmed many things. He's not opening up questions for me like (Louisville QB Teddy) Bridgewater did." Johnny Football is receiving universally positive reviews for his performance in College Station, but it's a bigger story when a player doesn't ace his Pro Day, like Bridgewater.

Why have you and I been arguing, exactly? I'd love for some bozo GM to cough up a bunch of picks in exchange for the third slot.

I think he is Gus top QB in the draft.  I just dont know about Dave.

I appreciate the chance to see the throws again...Johnny is not elite quarterback talent. He is the most dynamic of the so called big three, but he's not near superior at the game.

 

The velocity of his passes is not great. The free safeties of the NFL will ruin his deep throws.

 

The helmet was for what? Was it wired up for some reason? The broom guy was off a bit, I think. Bad idea to place dummies on the field when they appear to be inches taller than the thrower.

 

I would not draft any of the so called big three. I would draft A. J. McCarron in a later round than one.

Well then we are on the same page. But I think the difference between you and I are that I would be happy if we drafted JFF and just as happy if we traded back.

You do realize that Manziel beat McCarron head to head right? Twice.


Isn't Bama's defense the closest thing to an NFL defense talent wise?

Doesn't matter what the results of those games were. You are not to compare one quarterback against the other. You compare the pro quarterback prospect against NFL standards. 

 

McCarron exhibits the most amount of elite-level talent since Andrew Luck. I would like to draft him, but I would also like the Jaguars to enter the realm of NFL-caliber offense at some point. To do that they have to raise the talent level of the entire offense.
