T0mShane Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 AP Most of the discussion regarding Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel’s football future has centered on whether he will go in the first three picks. Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski is taking a contrarian view. During an interview on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia, Jaworski was asked about the Eagles meeting with Manziel at the combine and said he liked the idea because it is a way of stockpiling information on a player you’re likely to play against at some point. As for the idea of taking Manziel? Jaws isn’t so keen on that for the Eagles or anyone else in the league. “I’m a big believer in Nick Foles, but who knows?” Jaworski said. “Manziel may fall. I’m not crazy about him, to be honest with you. I’ve only looked at five games. I wouldn’t take him in the first three rounds. That’s my opinion. It’s incomplete right now. But he has not done a whole lot to me.” Jaworski has always taken strong opinions about quarterbacks and they don’t always follow the orthodoxy, so it’s probably fair to say that he doesn’t mind being an outlier on this front. Still, it would be perhaps the greatest shocker in the history of the draft if Manziel were available on even the second day of this year’s draft.

New York Mick Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 He's a cockier less talented Brett Farve. If he started the whole season and didn't get hurt he'd break the nfl int record. His name would change from Johnny football to Johnny pick six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Now that Jaws agrees with me, I'm on the fence about this. I'm gonna wait for Fishing and his consortium of the minds to weigh in before I make my decision. Fishing, what say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 OK that would be the biggest drop in history of the draft- I think Ron has taken too many headshots from his time in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't think Jaws expects Manzeil to drop to the fourth round, just that he sees him as a fourth round talent. He'll go early, and there will be teams glad he did because they had no interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The sum of the parts of Johnny Manziel is not very impressive, but someone will take a chance. If I told you that a guy under 6 feet tall with arm strength and accuracy issues along with maturity isses was going to be a consensus top 5 QB pick, you would say I was nuts.

HessStation Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So far my two favorite QBs (Bridgewater, Garappolo) are looking real good. I'm now rooting hard for Bortles for not being a pussy at the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Kellen Clemons > Manziel In fairness, years later Kellen is looking like the 2nd best QB in that draft. Let's see if in 8 years we can say that about Manziel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay_gee Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Manziel is going to get broken. He'll make some plays, but if he's in the league for more than 7 or 8 years, I'd be surprised. He looks amazing in college, but I don't think that schtick where someone is open and he still doesn't throw it is going to translate well in the NFL.

Maxman Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't remember ever hearing a debate like this: Should we take him with the 1st pick?
