Quote:You can throw Manziel in there too, and there's no "maybe" with Bortles, too many QB needy teams passed on Savage, that alone should tell you something.

Manziel is overrated. That's coming from a Texas guy who has also seen A&M games. He's good, and he may be a premiere QB in the NFL. He's far from a sure thing athough. Just because he was drafted in the first round doesn't make him any more of a sure thing then the QB's taken behind him. The same technically applies to Bortles and Teddy, but the reason I think they're definitely better than Savage is because Teddy has the overall polish and mentality you want at the position and Bortles has the overall physical attributes you desire in a QB to go along with good intangibles and a solid mentality.


Players are always going to be drafted based on college performance, as well as what school they went to. Players need to be evaluated beyond that though. That's why despite being a Texans fan I'm not afraid to say that Clowney was a risky pick. I probably would have preferred Khalil Mack or Bortles. But I could understand being enticed with pairing Clowney with Watt.
