The problem is that these guys come into the NFL, where they can't outrun everyone, and they can't extend plays to the extent they can in college, and they are asked to stand in the pocket and play the QB position. It doesn't matter how fast you are, when you play a good defensive front at the NFL level they can scheme and spy and bottle you up. If he can't drop and read by this point in his career he's just a project.
You can have a rookie season like RG3 had, but eventually you find that you are never going to take a team anywhere unless you can pass from the pocket. Is he a better QB prospect than Vick was? Certainly he's not a better athletic talent, and he doesn't have even close to the arm that Vick had. But of course, Vick had the proverbial 10 cent head. Is he a better prospect than Geno Smith was last year? Geno was more of a passer in college and supposedly was able to pass from the pocket at the NFL level, and he may one day do that, but I don't think you can say that Manziel would have a higher ceiling as a passer. Measurables aren't everything, but how many guys who are under 6' are starting in the NFL today? Manziel should be the third QB drafted, and that's if you don't like Carr. You can't rate his chances of becoming a 10 year starter at QB as better than Bridgewater or Bortles. |

I'm not sure what is more comical. Geno nuthuggers or Johnny nuthuggers.

He does until pressure situations.
Romo has also been a victim of shitty roster construction by Jerrah. He gets into situations where he feels he has to make a play right then to win a game and that's when he starts to make mistakes. |

What happens when a QB lacks playing time in college?
Mark Sanchez and Matt Cassel. ![]() |

He would be ridiculously effective in our system, too.

I almost started to debate...until I saw who posted this.
The only reason you don't like him is because he doesn't have an arrowhead on his helmet. |
