Quote:You have to be able to gamble somewhat on QBs and can't be gunshy, but Bridgewater and Manziel are two completely different players.  I don't think Bridgewater is a sure-fire blue-chip QB prospect by any means, but I think he has a lot better grasp on the fundamentals that are needed to succeed at the next level.

And again I do agree. Your points are inarguable and they're good.

 

Still, I can't forget this: The last 3-QBs to have won the heisman have all been unorthodox, unfundamental, non traditional, dual-threat, mobile Quarterbacks, who all broke the NFL mold and didn't adhere to the traditional NFL norms.

Two of them(Cam Newton are RG3) are starting franchise QBs in the NFL. Surely the third QB(Manziel), who surpassed both his predecessor's collegiate achievements, deserves an equally top pick and similar franchise position.

 

Not arguing with you, just thinking out loud.
