Quote:What added opportunity? How about a regular season game?

Again, I know how good Bortles is, I would MUCH rather have Bortles, but why is Manziel not given the same opportunity to grow?

I'm going more off your 1st post of Bortles would get the benefit of the doubt...


People would be whining about Bortles if he had a Manziel type game...There is no doubt about that.


Sometimes just like FBT pointed out the trajectories look so different that even most lay people can see one guy is better than the other....


Off the field issues and partying combined with lack of play book knowledge plus rumors.of knowing very little of his college play book are big reasons why people believe Manziel will continue to flounder...


That opinion might change if Manziel can "keep his nose clean" for a full year but his history works against him...and his saving grace scrambling ability isn't doing jack for him in the pros...
