If Manziel looks good in Seattle I'm giving him another year. Not too many QBs can accomplish that task.

One game sample! One game!

It will be very exciting if Manziel plays well. It will also mean almost nothing.

CFRS15, you keep saying that no matter what Johnny does over the remainder of the season, it is too small a sample size and you point to bad QBs who have strung together a few good games. But this would not be Johnny having four good games somewhere in the middle of a pedestrian career, this would be him stepping up exactly when he needed to show something. Given all of the variables on this team, and putting aside last year, he hasn't had a terrible start yet. He has gotten better with each start. And if, and it is a big if, he finishes strong, it will be much more than a random streak of good performances.

last year is part of his body of work. just can't throw it out....

Sometimes I really don't get what your point is.

You keep saying it's too small of a sample size with Manziel, but then what to draft QBs who could very well bust show exactly the same as Manziel.


At what point are we finally gonna stick to a QB and find out whether he's a franchise or not?

If we stick with Manziel, we can get some weapons with our 1st round pick.

If we don't, we get a QB, but end up in the same situation as our QB doesn't have any weapons, and then, just like every season, we'll be talking about drafting another QB, because for some reason he didn't work out.

Bortles is playing better because he has weapons.

Tannehil gets better and better because he actually get game experience, and they get him weapons
Carr is playing better because *gasp* they got him weapons.

Teddy is playing better because he has weapons. Hell, they calling him a game manager. Ok, he's managing that team to a wild card birth.

Cam newton is playing better because he has weapons, and game experience.

Andy freaking dalton is playing good football because he has weapons.

Maybe we should stick to our first round QB for a change, get him some weapons, and then evaluate whether he's good enough or not.
