firstly i'd like to thank you for being the first person on this board to defend his footballing ability which was exactly what I was looking for, rather than people just blindly saying, oh he is awesome and not explaining why. The response is appreciated even if it was filled with petty little jibes.

 

it's a forum everything said here is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things but the sole reason to come here is to discuss to disagree and post points and counterpoints so don't get your panties in a wad.

 

Everything either of us has said is entirely subjective and i agree with you somewhat, if caldwell picks him I will roll my eyes bite my lip and go on cheering regardless. If he is our franchise qb I will be delighted to admit I'm wrong and submit a full repentance.

 

You can amp up my criticisms and mock them as much as you like, my point as with most things are entirely subjective so it's fair enough and perhaps I am too harsh on him

 

but this draft coming up is so important andif we miss on the qb again with the number 3 pick it's mediocrity for us for another 2-3 years

 

plus he will not get the time to adjust, he will be thrown straight in their and expected to produce on one offseason

 

Whatever you say about his style being enforced on him his feet are such a massive part of his success if teams can negate that and they can... we all have seen it with rg3 kap etc i just don't feel he has the arm to compensate or the time to develop it

I'm sorry if I came off a little terse. I am tired of coming in here and having every thread hijacked by Manziel and anti Manziel groups. It's getting old. Manziel isn't even my favorite quarterback. I admit that he is a risk. Personally, I'd be happy with him, Teddy, Bortles, Clowney or Watkins. I'm new here. What I've been seeing is one guy attacked relentlessly. And often, I find that it's personal. They don't like the fact that he grew up a rich boy. Spoiled. Seeks self attention. Is a "me" guy. And the accusations border on the ridiculous. They don't like his persona. My only concern is....can he produce results here in Jacksonville? I want to win. That's what I care about. Period. No agenda. Anyway, I do appreciate your post. I can tell that you are passionate about the team as many others here. You did have some good points. Others, I felt, weren't quite accurate. We can both agree that taking him is not without risk. Time will tell if Dave decides to take that risk.

Yours Truly

Burt Jason
