Quote:Even with two elite, franchise offensive tackles you will still be dangling Manziel in front of powerful defensive linemen, who will find a way around superior pass protectors from time to time. If the quarterback is spindly all it takes is one solid sack and he's out for the season, or possibly a NFL career.

I agree Manziel needs to be 'safer' in the NFL. But his escapability, if used properly, is not more dangerous to his health, but LESS dangerous. We shouldn't confuse that. Case in point, I think it's at least of some note that "spindly Manziel" not only survived, but thrived and dominated in the defensive-monster that is SEC when fellow, less spindly and less elusive conference QBs Murray and Mettenberger(two QBs many on these boards want/are high on), came away with season ending injuries against the same competition.

 

Quote:There is nothing Johnny Manziel faced at Texas A&M that will compare to what's in store for him in the pro ranks. 

Of course I agree with you, but that statement is just as true, no, in fact more true of every other QB in this draft. Manziel faced and did better against harder competition than any other QB in this draft. If Manziel has a hill to climb in the pro ranks, then guys like Bottles, Carr, Fales have mountains, and Ohio Valley conference QBs like Garappalo Mount Everests...
