Quote:I'm sold. Matthews 1st, some second tier qb in the 2nd round.  Another year towards the bottom in sack rankings.

Did you even read the original post in this thread, or the topic at the very least?

 

If Houston drafts Clowney, you're going to see him twice a year with Henne as the starting QB.  The OP asks if this would change the value placed on Manziel, as in, would we draft a micro QB with happy feet because we'd be facing a potent pass rush twice a year vs. Houston.  I simply said I'd expect to see the focus change to make sure we protect our QB against said pass rush. 

 

Manziel isn't going to create less sacks with his ad lib play.  Just because a mobile QB can run, it doesn't mean less sacks.  We heard that same point of view a lot during the Garrard era.  In fact, his mobility was noted by the coach and GM as the reason he was given the starting job in 2007.  The end result is he was sacked more often than Leftwich, literally a human statue. 

 

If Houston does grab Clowney, you can't waste the 3rd pick on Manziel and hope it works out.
