Quote: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. 

Football is easy KY. If you want your first round pick to be successful then the best way to do that is run plays that play to his strengths. You hear it all the time from good players on well coached teams, that the staff allows them to do what they do.

 

I like to think we have that kind of staff now. So regardless of who we get I think we will be moving in the right direction.

 

All you really have to do is surround the QBs with talent. Every "great" QB in NFL history had talent around him. If you put the talent around either of these guys and play to their strengths then I think both will have long successful careers in the NFL. I just like Johnny more because he has shown me more as far as intangibles and clutch plays. Not saying Teddy doesn't have that in him, I have just seen it more with Johnny.
