    I just hope if they do take a quarterback _ they're getting one who will be great and not just drafting a guy who will be just average or worst.

    Concerned about Johnny Manziel's passing? No need. He's been as good or better than Teddy Bridgewater (via @ESPNMag)

    They both have great numbers.. Texans please just draft one this guys doesnt matter who. Bridgewater accuracy is off the charts though, only 4 interceptions..

    They should do a comparision with Bortles in there, i would like to get an idea of how he compares...

    Forgot 1 row on the graphic, SYSTEM.

    Manziel - Air Raid/Spread including mostly shotgun, 4 WOs, half field reads, short passing game

    Bridgewater - NFL Style including Full field reads/Kills/Audibles/Checks

    Agree that one is more "Pro-Style" and one isnt. But with Chip kelly's offense now having success in the NFL the term "Pro-Style" may be changing very soon

    A ton of those A&M runs are Johnny Football leaving the pocket which is not the case with Bridgewater.

    Chip Kelly and his offense barely squeaked into the playoffs against a backup QB who ended up throwing the int to get them in. The league will catch up to Chip Kelly sooner rather then later. Remember Wildcat was all the rage and now what. Chip Kelly will need to adjust or become a fad.

    Mel Kiper said he would not be surprised if he's the 1st QB taken on Sportscenter.

    Johnny was throwing against and running against and playing against better all around teams and pretty much was under pressure to score and or help his team get in scoring position every possession because A&M's defense was horrible.

    Yeah, because he is a great college quarterback, Graham Harrell did the same thing at Tech. Cant take that information alone and determine if he can play big boy football. We've got to be critiquing these guys throwing mechanics, size, etc... not stats. Not what they did in college.

    Yes cause we cant have any Qb step out of the pocket.

    In his first season! The guy took a 4-12 team with a lot of problems and made them into a playoff team! I would say thats pretty successful. Agree the wildcat was a fad because teams figured out that the person getting the ball in the backfield couldnt/wouldnt throw it. I have yet to see any holes in what Chip kelly offenses do. Objective is to hurry to the line of scrimmage to keep defenses off balance. Before kelly came the NFL Belichick visited Oregon for pointers in running similar plays and the Patriots have implemented this as well with much success. I just do not see it as a fad and I do not see it going away.
