I'm not comparing them as prospects. I'm comparing them in the sense that they both worked magic in college, have accumulated a cult like fanbase, and have become massively overrated as prospects.

And I have no idea where you're getting this Vick comparison. Manziel isn't half as explosive of a runner as RG3 or Kaepernick, much less Vick.

UT. Sorry bro but you couldn't be more wrong. Manziel is light years better than Tebow.

You have some off the wall opinions dude, I'll stick to the experts and my own informed analysis though. LOL at Barkley best ever out of USC. I guess Carson Palmer never existed and scouts haven't slid Barkley out of the 1st round.

Bridgewater and Brohm both went to Louisville, clearly they should be compared together, that's the only criteria obviously. Let's also compare Aaron Rodgers to Zach Maynard. I mean, heck, they both went to Cal, they must be identical under Dreamers logic.

Although if you are trolling (I hope so), you got me pretty good, so there's that
All I say to that is the 9ers look so much better with Collin. I said it at the beginning of the year that Colin not Smith would bring them to a SB. Really felt Sanchez was do for a good game stupid home I guess. eh to each his own I guess. Every one has different out looks on the game.

Yeah I'd take Barkley over Palmer. I never liked USC QBs but Barkley I just like. The kid plays with heart and I love his leadership. He is without a doubt a better QB then Sanchez or Lienart IMO. If the worst people can say about Barkely is he is not tall enough and from USC I'll still take it. I just love what he does in the game.

No I'm not comparing Aaron Rodgers to Zach Maynard. I am a big east guy or at least used to be not sure who is still in it right now. Brohm had a great SO year even looked better then Bridgewater. Louisville run an O that creates those kinds of big plays and big O #s. They don't play a lot of power house Ds so it looks good most of the time. I just don't think much of Bridgewater is all. I'd take Driskel over him if both declared next year. To me he just screams bust. Sorry if you think other wise but he just isn't some great prospect like Luck was.

Don`t worry about intentionally tanking the season. The Jets will do just fine on their own trying as hard to win as they can. I see 2-14 to maybe 4-12 with this current team, new GM, new coaches everywhere, etc.

They could certainly use the high draft choices. Hopefully Idzik will draft well.

Sanchez.

Our team is awful. So its going to be either "Just End the Season" or "Just Tank the Season".

Could be worse Joe

ONLY if your hero the spectacularly incompetent POS Teblow were still on the team.

Just for the record Ray. You predicted 5 wins in 2009 and 6 wins in 2010.

Stick to drinking your three gallons of beer each and every day, something you are good at...football forecasting....not so much

Tanking the season would be a good/great idea if I thought we could execute well on that plan but I do not think this organization would be able to do that.

There's NO reason to delay the process. Start Geno Smith.

And I don't buy for one second that Manziel is 6'1. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he doesn't even measure in at 6'0 even.

The kid is small as hell.
He's small in weight, but he's taller than both Brees and Wilson. He has the ability of Wilson to move around the pocket and just make plays. He could be special. I'm interested to see what he does next season at A&M. If he has another spectacular season he'll be sure to come out, but he does need to put some lbs on. I'm sure he'll be working on that this off-season.

and you predicted 13 and 15 wins those seasons. LOL Stick to mooching and crashing other peoples` tailgates. You`re really good at that. Why not drive to the game for a change and bring your own grill, food and drinks? Oh, I see. Taking things from mothers refridgerator, which is next to your bed in the basement, is a no no.
