    BS. He played less football than your BFF Teddy and was still better than him.

    You state this like fact, it is your opinion. From what I saw on the field, it is the opposite.

    Do YOU see a QB propect in this year's or next year's draft who you believe can lead a team to a Super Bowl victory? If so, who? And why?

    In college, he was better than him.

    but we don't care about how good a player is in college. This is the NFL.

    It appears we have a new workout warrior: the venerable Garrett Gilbert!

    Manziel isn't a workout warrior. He's a Heisman Trophy winner.

    Keep your spinning skills in the D&D

    That Hal Mumme horizontal passing offense was the essence of death by a thousand cuts. Definitely not your father's run and shoot. That being said, when it got going, they could really move the football. Would've been cool to see the offense with Zach Line at RB. Having Gilbert QB my two college teams was an adventure in being underwhelmed.

    That being said, he does have the measurables the NFL usually looks for in a QB with a pedigree. By all accounts, he was a good dude at SMU and picked up the playbook in a hurry.

    Such lazy comparisons here. They play nothing alike. Everyone knew tebow had some crap mechanics and wasn't going to make it throwing in the NFL. Young was dumb as a rock and couldn't pick up a playbook. Manziel is neither of those things. The worst part about manziel is his height. If he was 6'2'', he would be the consensus number one pick.

    If Bridgewater was 220 he would be the consensus number one pick

    Bridgewater, Jameis, that Cook boy from Michigan State for starters

    Bridgewater is the most obvious, he has

    1. Elite football IQ
    2. Elite football instincts
    3. Elite pocket presence

    Three absolute needs to being a championship qb

    This should never be the goal; too arbitrary and random. Two of the greatest QBs of all-time (Brady and Manning) haven't won a Super Bowl in seven years. Joe Flacco has as many rings as Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. Etc., etc.

    The goal should always be to make the playoffs; anything beyond that is, more often than not, based on pure luck.

    In the same article they finish with this quote:
    "Still, it’s very interesting to see all of these scouts have the most electrifying player ever in college football pegged in these different areas in the draft."

    I said from what I have seen, being how he played in college, he was the better QB, how that projects to the pros, I cannot really answer that. My biggest concern might be injuries, other than that, I think he will end up being the type of player that has you in contention for a SB on a regular basis.
