Quote:Yea, FBT might just be the one who is shocked on Thursday. Anyways, no meltdown will ever rival Tebowners' long goodbye.

 

I'm fine with whatever happens.  I haven't married myself to any of the top tier QBs.  If we get one of them, great.  If we don't, I won't be howling about it. 

 

The fact that JM fanboys are using a portion of a quote from Caldwell as some sort of validation is something we've become accustomed to here after seeing Tebow fans do the same thing.  Caldwell was basically saying Manziel is what he is, and that you're not going to see a lot of progression from year 1 to year 2.  While he's the most ready to step in now, he never said he'd be the one who wound up being the best option over the course of a career. 

 

Vince Young was a phenom when he took over as a rookie.  Remember the "all he does is win" mantra?  Once defenses figured out how to shut him down, he faded quickly because he wasn't a guy that was going to develop beyond what he was.  I'd be careful in misinterpreting what Caldwell is saying as some sort of acknowledgment that Manziel is the guy in this draft.  Especially when he's said on more than one occasion that this QB class needs time to develop.  If he's saying Manziel won't change much from year 1 to year 2, he's kind of saying that won't be him developing.
