Do we draft a QB in the first round?

Alabama did so well at stopping him on try #1 and try #2.

Is the theory now that if a college player ever has a bad game, they will suck in the NFL?

 

Maybe maybe not but I agree w the assessment that Manziel will struggle in the pros. How do people feel about Aaron Murray in the 2nd? Torn ACL but I've slways liked that guy.

 

Manzel is not an accurate qb, he takes off to run almost as a natural reaction... he is a poor mans Vick

 

If clowney is gone, then yes

 

If a team gives the texans a redskins to rams for rg3 offer the texans should certainly pull the trigger. It's clear this team has multiple holes.

 

Crazy how such an inaccurate QB is top 10 in the nation in completion percentage and top 5 in TDs and QB rating.

I think Manziel's problem in the pros will be injuries. He has potential to be very good and his improvising ability is getting to be more and more useful in the NFL - but it will only work until he inevitably gets leveled by his style of play.

 

didnt Kevin Sumlin coach case keenum and he put up passing stats as well... its the system that manzel is in, he is a 6'1 small running qb who has never run a pro-style offense, and throws wobbly passes lol.. good luck to any team that drafts him

 

By that logic RGIII was a system QB too.

 

i changed my mind, keenum isn't it

 

First Schaub, then Yates, and now Keenum throws away a game. I'm sure Schaub sucks, and that Yates is a career backup, and Keenum is looking more mediocre every game, but they all play under Kubiak.

 

They are going to draft Derrick Carr

 

Keenum hardly threw the game away. He just didn't do anything g to win it

 

Clowney-Watt

 

RG3 was an accurate qb in college, and drew Aaron Rodgers comparisons for his arm talent.... RG3 put up insane passing numbers.. he can make all the throws..

Comparison: Poor man’s Aaron Rodgers

 

the texans WOULD find a year to suck where there is no once in a generation talent qb in the draft

 

Case threw the game away by putting two balls right on the money and having his receivers horribly misplay them both?

 

I remember being up here in Lubbock and Texas Tech played a bowl game against the California Golden Bears. The Bears were #4 in the nation at the time and all indications were that Tech was going to get slaughtered. Tech beat them 45-31 and I distinctly remember telling my son at the time, "Damn, their quarterback sucks. Just goes to show that some QBs are not made for the NFL."

That quarterback was Aaron Rodgers.

 

???

 

Keenum threw it away by drawing up a horrible stale gameplan, failing to motivate the entire team to play with intensity, and personally causing the offensive line to play sloppy and half hearted all game.

I expect much more from a 5 game starter in this league.
