One thing I'll say here is that Rob Rang actually wrote a great piece on him for CBS in my opinion. There is a bunch to love about Mannion's game. Pro offense, pro arm, pro size. Then there is the stuff that really, really scares me about his game. Not mobile, clunky in his get-out from center and throughout his drops, and worst of all he's a drifter. He drifts away from pressure and makes bad throw because of it. He doesn't step up and deliver catch-able balls. It makes him awful. He throws interceptions, he makes terrible reads and deliveries, and he takes sacks. If Mannion can learn to not fear pressure, which I find to be a near unteachable trait, then he will be a star in the NFL. If he can't do that, he's never going to amount to anything more than a clipboard holder taking up a roster spot. The decision really comes down to that one facet, and it scares the shit out of me.
