Quote:He skipped Super Bowl festivities to stay home and workout. He seems focused and ready to fight for something.


And he's not going to be "doomed." IMO Jedd Fisch would do a great job easing Manziel in. Make him comfortable with the "easy throws" and then start to unleash him a bit. Like Seattle with Wilson. Just my opinion though, he could be super special.

I commend that, however it remains to be seen if he can handle that at the NFL level. The lights on him, he HAS to stay straight, would be a fool not to.

 

Wilson played like he did at Seattle because he had Marshawn Lynch and a dominant defense to hang back on.

 

There is no luxury like that here. No such thing as easy throws. There is definitely no unleashing of a 5'11, 205 qb or Fisch should be fired at the first sign of serious injury.

 

"Super Special" stuff quite frankly sounds ridiculous and a product of the hype engine.

 

The only qbs who can be truly "Super Special" are Kaep and even more so Cam Newton

 

They have the athleticism, size, strength, arm and instinctual ability to be all time greats

 

The only thing that Manziel has that is arguably elite is escape ability.

 

I am not even sold on his pocket presence, considering he had the cleanest pocket in all of CFB and would often times bail early

 

I think he has potential, but no dice for me.

 

Bridgewater has elite pocket presence, elite accuracy, and his mental game is going to be elite

 

No brainer
