Quote:No offense but the defense Manziels teams faced on a consistent basis were much better than the teams TB faced. This chart is assuming all things are equal which they aren't. (i.e. Bridgewater didn't have a 6' 4" saftey net at WR). I think people just need to realize that Manziel and Bridgewater are both good prospects. Of course some people are going to like one over the other, but that doesn't automatically mean the other one is bad.

As the great Greg Cosell said, it just comes down to how much of a leap of faith you want to take. It's extremely easy to watch Teddy play and see how it will translate into very good NFL play. Manziel shows intriguing tools but the translation is very fuzzy, it could work out but it's very risky also. With a top 5 pick I just don't see how you can take that leap of faith, especially if Teddy or Clowney is still on the board.
