don't you mean your poll is "pre-maturely cuming"?

It just seems like a hard sell if I'm the owner of a team, for a GM to come to me and say this guy is going to be healthy playing his game at the NFL level, the first one of his size to work out as a long term starter, do it while succeeding without ideal arm strength for an NFL QB, will learn to play the game a new way from how he's played it in the past, and either do it immediately or keep what seems to be a sizable ego in check while someone else plays. It's not a question for me in that position like it is for a fan, do I think it's worth a shot. It's do I want to turn my franchise over to that chance for the next several years, or would I rather pick one of several other guys who seem to more closely fit the well-worn pattern of NFL QBs... Someone will take the chance, but it couldn't be very easy to tell a businessman that this is his best bet |

He was one of the prototype's for the "spread QBs won't make it in the NFL" argument. He average like 5YPA for his first 2 years in the league and everybody (including me) declared him a bust. |

I think that being a spread QB puts you behind on day one, but half of the division 1 programs out there are running spread offenses these days.

Sure, but the point is just that a spread QB is closer than one who runs as much as Manziel does to being ready to start in the NFL.
I would probably die from the shock if we were to take him, but if we do then fine, I'm on board, let's ride. It would just give me a lot of heartburn to see us try this, because much like our strategy of never drafting QBs high, there's a pretty well established pattern of what works in the postseason in the NFL and we're trying to do something that has really never been shown to work. |

Alex Smith in his final year had 135 and 317 pass attempts. Tim Tebow had 217 rushing attempts to only 213 pass attempts. How much did you watch Manziel play? You seem convinced that he's a running QB. He's not any more of a running QB than Alex Smith is. |
