Manziel will smash Peyton's records as long as he has a cast.

Don't want to take this from COA but is this IPOTW?

Please just stop. What the hell would make you say that?! I love Manziel, but I do not think he will be a Peyton Manning. I see a Drew Brees Russell Wilson mix.

Possibly, but he may escape from the nurse and sneak back on the internet later.

I'm starting to like the idea of trading down. Much talent depth, little in the way of franchise players in this draft.

I starting to think 1 or both of Bridgewater/Manziel will be there at 4 (saying Robinson and Clowney will for sure go top 3 whether via pick or someone trades up).

I'd prefer Manziel but I think both are good enough to win a Super Bowl with a good-to-great defense (ala Wilson).

I dont know. There are def contrarians on ESPN like SHit bayless and others, but his opinion on JM I think is legit what he thinks.
I am thinking he may be right...

Hard to believe ESPN would want Jaws to be ragging on the guy that was the face of the SEC for the last two years.

It gets everybody talking and just creates stories out of nothing. I remember reading what happened when he said Kaep could be the greatest QB ever on Deadspin or Awful Announcing and basically ESPN talked about it on multiple shows and had stuff online about it all because of one statement. Wouldn't surprise me at all if this is the same thing.

Id perfer Bridgewater over all, but I'd take Manziel and I'm torn on Bortles.

I'm curious to see what we do with all of this cap space... I would hope that we can lock up Ward and Mack before FA period opens up. Losing Mack really worries me, as if our line doesn't have enough problems as it is...

Not gonna stop. Plenty of people view Manziel the same way I do. I definitely think Manziel will be a better quarterback than even Peyton. Fran Tarkenton describes himself as the GOAT q'back. In a lot of regards, I agree with Fran. And Manziel is better than Tarkenton in raw ability.

The Jaworskis and the Mel Kuiper Jr.s of the world can't get over the fact that Manziel acted like a punk when he was 19 years old. Well fuckem. These assholes are clueless when evaluating his talent. And then there are those flaming idiots that say "well, Manziel did all that against college kids...not pros". Now if that isn't the most God awful argument I have ever heard. I guess people should pass on Clowney and Sammy W too, because they haven't done anything against pros either. lol.

If the Browns don't do whatever it takes to land Manziel, then I am done watching pro football.

Um.

Ok.

You think JM can become one of the top 3 ever to play the game?

Wow.

You guys hoping the Texans, Rams, and Jaguars don't know what footwedge knows? If not, the Browns will draft the best quarterback ever.
