Quote:....if he pans out.

Oh for sure, I agree. But that's true with everyone.

 

But think of it this way. Think 'BEST CASE SCENARIO' for the top 3 QBs

1)If Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles literally replicate everything they've done in college, and play exactly the same way in the NFL, then they'll be good QBs. They won't be the best though(remember, neither of those guys were ever even invited to sit on a heisman board). Neither Teddy nor Blake have ever been THE best QB against kids their own age in college(that distinction belongs to Winston this year and Manziel last year). So even if Teddy and Bortles "pan out", it's hard to imagine either as as THE best QB in the NFL, as they've never even been the best in the college ranks.

 

2)Manziel on the other hand has been the best. And if Johnny replicates exactly what he's done in college(and admittedly that's a big IF), but if he does, and if he does "pan out", then he has a real chance at being one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks, just like he was THE best in college.

 

My point?

We can argue all day "Teddy's not gonna pan out", "Manziel's not gonna pan out", etc.

But let's stop being so pessimistic for a second, let's say best case scenario for everyone. Let's say Teddy, Bortles, and Manziel all "pan out", and all their skills translate to the NFL, who's the best QB? Answers obvious.
