This will get alot of hate and im trying not to be biased, but i watched all of both of these quarterbacks cutups on draft breakdown and here is what i have.

Manziel Bridgewater

Arm Strength Can make all NFL throws. Doesn't have a "weak arm" But not a "strong arm" either.

Accuracy GREAT ACCURACY Best in the class from 1-20, deep balls flutter and are inaccurate.

Pocket Presence Tends to leave pocket early. Tends to leave the pocket too late, leading to sacks.

Football IQ Not yet as great as BW's Amazing football IQ, Manziels is lower but may catch up with hard work.

Touch I haven't seen any problems Teddy struggles with touch on deep balls, but is amazing in the 1-20

Athleticism Shake and bake baby. Great on the bootleg, doesn't scramble as much as he needs to.

Size Though only 6 foot he has Thinner than Johnny with small hands, may be why he wears gloves.

size 15 feet and hands like

bannanas.

Leadership Brett Farve attitude I have honestly no idea, doesnt show emotion on field(Gabbert).

A lot of people talk about Manziel’s arm strength negatively, but I don’t see why. He has a very strong arm. From what I’ve seen, in terms of pure arm strength, I’d put him second above Bridgewater
and behind Mariota. He is able to throw the ball for chunks of yardage at a time through the air, and honestly he could probably throw it a whole lot further if he put his weight behind it (he has footwork issues which I’ll address later). One thing I was also pleasantly surprised with was his touch. He knows how to control the arc of the ball pretty well, but it’s not fantastic. I would also put him second in this category, with Mariota at third (Bridgewater is far and away the best touch passer in the country.) Anyway, I digress. He is also, as you can see from the statistics, very accurate. 80% accuracy against the best team in the country isn’t normal. It’s very good.
