Jon Gruden says any team that passes on Johnny Manziel will regret it

#56

Quote:He did start for the Chiefs, was lousy, got benched, and was then released.  The Raiders picked up him as a free agent.  So Gruden took a guy that had been a career journeyman, had never sniffed 3000 yards, might have eclipsed a QB rating of 80 in one season, and turned him immediately into a guy that was throwing for close to 4000 yards a season and was league MVP.  What is your defintion of "develop" then?  Or in your mind can a guy post 30 never "develop"?

 

 

 

Did he?  You mean the year he started 12 games, threw 12 TDs and 13 picks and was benched a month before they made the playoffs in favor of Sean Salisbury?  And was then traded away for a late round conditional pick in the offseason?  

 

I'm not gonna preach that Gruden is some authority on QBs but this idea that he helped a guy achieve a little success is nuts.  Gannon's career before Gruden was no better than Chad Henne's.  But was then turned into the league MVP.  Lets get real here people. 
 

Exactly. Gruden worked wonders with Gannon, can't believe people are taking that away from Gruden just because Gannon was in his 30's.
