Both of these guys are ridiculous athletes who routinely make the players around them better and the players against them look stupid.  But this is my concern:

Who was the last underclassman QB that wasn't a bust?  Matt Stafford.  And his career has been spotty.  When you make a list of guys who are currently in the league, have won Super Bowls, or are as good or better than Matt Stafford, your list only has guys who stayed for their senior year on it.  Other guys who recently came out as juniors, guys like Blaine Gabbert, Cam Newton, Mark Sanchez... obviously they haven't done as well.

Now, it is obvious that more and more guys, if they dominate college football as juniors, are not going to stay for their senior years.  If you hold out for a senior, you may wait forever.

But the odds are certainly against both Bridgewater and Manziel having successful NFL careers if they come out in the 2014 draft.
