What is the case against Johnny Football?

Quote:Is it the height? I know he is probably closer to 5'10 but he isn't much shorter than Russell Wilson or Drew Brees. Both of them slipped due to height concerns and it proved to be foolish.


 

Is it a concern that he runs too much or can't play in a "pro style offense"? Does he have to? It seems like the NFL is adapting to the spread and spread option the way high school has since it took over college football. It was only natural that it would carry over into the NFL. So why not here?


 

And lastly, is his personality too much? Is that even possible? In this market, he would be a rock star. Alot of people that the national media ignores Jacksonville and when they do talk about us it is negative. Get some stars on this team and they will pay attention. Johnny Manziel is star #1 in this draft.


 

Imagine the roar of the crowd at Everbank the first time this guy goes on the field.


 
 

Obviously his height is an issue.  Should we take every short Quarterback because -- hey he might be the next Drew Brees or Russell Wilson?  


 

The NFL isn't really adapting to a spread option.  The NFL is another level compared to College.  NFL Defenses are far more complex than College Defenses.  High School to College is less of a drop off than College to NFL.


 

His maturity is a concern.  Imagine the roar at Everbank the first time Tim Tebow goes on the field.  We can get him without a draft pick too!  


 

Manziel is boom or bust.  Taking him with the first pick would be suicide for an NFL GM.  

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
