Hard to argue someone has competitive fire when they can barely manage to stay on the field, let alone in the film room.
Better hope Jerrah or Jeff picks him up. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/p...ohnny-manziel-would-be-low-for-31-of-32-teams
What exactly is a bill obrien QB? Because so far, he's shown to be a poor talent evaluator, especially when it comes to QB. If I'm McNair, I sign rg3. I don't care if he fits BO'Bs system or not. He has no say in the matter, much like when McNair hired wade Phillips to be the DC .
Typically, it's a QB that has been a back up somewhere else (preferably in NE), so they have had time to hold the clipboard and absorb the game from the sidelines.
Totally guessing. I think he... ...wants bigger/taller guys(not short/small like a Manziel or Bridgewater; although Hoyer & Fitzpatrick are "only" 6'2) Spoiler Brian Hoyer: 6'2 215 Brandon Weeden: 6'4 228 T.J. Yates: 6'4 217 Tom Savage: 6'4 228 QB/WR hybrid B.J. Daniels 5'11 217 ------------------------- Ryan Fitzpatrick: 6'2 223 Ryan Mallett: 6'6 245 Case Keenum: 6'1 205 Who did he recruit at Penn State? Christian Hackenberg: 6'4 228 Blake Bortles? 6'5 245 Maybe size isn't important or is overstated so size aside... ...wants a pocket passer/"pro style QB"(why I think it eliminates them for a Kaepernick or Griffin or the likes) ...wants a QB who eats, sleeps, breathes football. (Obviously not Manziel. Although trading for and signing Mallett, maybe not?) ...plus that, ha.
RG3 is done. He hasn't even played a game since December of 2014. Irrelevant. Manziel is actually an NFL qb with every physical ability he had when he was drafted.
Why? There's no QB's that I know of that have failed this bad off (and on) the field in their debut seasons... and somehow carved out a successful career. Yet, there are several QB's who have flailed in similar fashion to what Manziel has done... even with good behavior, he is not a viable NFL QB.
This. I think he prioritizes Football IQ above size/tools. A lot of OBs offense depends on the QB making pre-snap reads and adjusting accordingly. The optimal OB QB has to be capable of doing that. I think he brought in Fitzpatrick because he was smart and he brought in Hoyer and Mallett because he knew they knew the system and could run it the way he wanted. So trait #1 is brains. Size and tools are secondary. And then he wants a pocket passer. That doesn't necessarily exclude someone like Kaep or Griffin, but they have to be able to operate in the pocket. Their running ability is just gravy.
Lance Zeirlein had a funny segment on 790 about how Johhny would make a great host on the travel channel visiting party spots around the world.
