This is not a Manziel only discussion for those of you who like to read previous post and try and triangulate where someone is coming from or going.  I would like to know if you had the chance of getting the so called Special player in a draft or the safe pick that can start and contribute as advertised who would you choose.  The reason i came up with this topic is because, i've read countless post about picking the safe player but isn't that what each team tries to do in the draft?  It takes a courageous GM to pull the trigger on the guy who's special over the safe player in the hopes of changing a Franchise around.  Safe players and "normal" selections in the draft don't win teams superbowls or get them deep in the playoffs while they're rebuilding.  Drafting a player to rebuild around is how you do that and even with a top defense in the league like we've had before here in JAX, we didn't go very far without an offensive compliment.  What other position than QB is their a dire need for a Special player if your trying to build a championship team.  Flacco was regular and he made it to a championship and now he's back to the norm without that staggering defense to help but look at Luck and Peyton and other special QB's that even without a top D can raise a team from the bottom feeder category.  Let me know your opinions but keep in mind this is about QB's in my opinion but you can debate other position if you don't have an argument for QB.
