Manziel admitted he hasnt taken the QB serious enough....

This shows you how hard looking at game tape can really be. I was watching Bortles tape before the draft and thought we would never draft him especially that high but Manziel was someone I wouldn't mind taking. Looking back, I was wrong, and Im happy I was wrong.

Looking back, I was wrong, and Im happy I was wrong.I wouldn't say looking at game tape is "hard" per se. I would say, however, that it is an incomplete measure of a player-just one piece out of a puzzle. Just about every player that could be labeled a first round bust had great college game tape, from Walt Patulski and Tony Mandarich to Tebow and Manziel and every bust in between. The thing is, character can make the difference between a successful NFL player and a bust. Without question, Justin Blackmon had all of the talent needed to succeed at the NFL level. However, his substance abuse/dependence issues kept him from realizing his enormous potential. Conversely, the WR taken in the same draft from Notre Dame, Michael Floyd, had all kinds of documented issues with substance abuse/dependence, but he has been a productive player for the Cardinals. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
The problem with College tape is.... How much is improvisation? How much is one team having better athletes then the competition?
The NFL is the great equalizer because even the practice squad players are better than the college kids. I'm not speaking of potential of course just straight up out of college vs a regular practice squad guy. Every position takes adjustment to go from being better than those around you to having to out work those around you. I think/hope BB5 will put in the work and raise up the team. I am very pleased that we avoided the Tim and Johnny messes. Everything is tilted against guys like that coming out of college. EDIT: Grammar
