Only one that has a chance is Bortles but the Jags cant draft a wide receiver that doesn't commit a felony from draft day until pre-season camp.

Manziel: Careless with football, injury waiting to happen, will never have talent around him.

Bridgewater: Fans will be wanting to throw him from a bridge. Has anyone ever had a bad pro day? Its like when Yao Ming was seen playing against chairs.

I can see Manziel have a Ryan Leaf type of moment after a loss when the questions get heated. Everything went his way at A and M and he still was saying "I cant wait to get the f out of here" and things along those lines.

Bortles is the default answer to your question.

Manziel won't make it. He will turn the ball over wholesale and then spend the remainder pouting after they bench his ass. NO CHANCE

Bridgewater is the same kid we have seen before. Put up some numbers against a purely junior varsity schedule at Louisville. NO CHANCE

So "Bortles and James" is the only possible answer. “Thanks for your support!”

Bridgewater because he has AP behind him. Bortles can be good, seems Jax has a good plan of becoming better. 3rd most successful qb hasnt been drafted yet.

I voted Bridgewater....

Guy has great touch on the football and throws to places only his receiver can make a play on it. One of the best QB's coming out of college who sells the "play-action" really well. Also the fact I respect a QB who has two hands on the football while he is moving around in the pocket.

Smartest QB imo who will easily merge into the NFL.

Where's the "None will have a career worth talking about" button?

-Bortles for me though in this poll.

That's about the truth. This draft is about 10 average quarterbacks that wont be starters in 5 years. Maybe Cleveland is trying to position themselves next year for another bust Jameis Winston. Their sucky qb play can trump the Jags sucky qb play. Meanwhile, us colt fans will enjoy another 12 years of outstanding quarterback play. Hopefully we finish 0-18 prob. by then and can get the next Luck or Peyton in the 2029 draft.

I think with Manziel you either have a boom or a bust. The problem I have with him more than anything is his size. It creates a limitation that has to be accounted for with scheme. It's true that Drew Brees and Russell Wilson have the same issues and are effective. But I have a feeling that Manziel isn't near the worker as these two. Bottom line is he's too short and has terrible work habits (I've heard). The first one can't change, and the second one isn't likely too. As much of a little asshole that he is, I kind of hope he proves me wrong because he's one of the best college players that I've ever seen. But I still think his talent takes a significant dip in the NFL. And we're talking about Cleveland after all...

Balls on accurate on the "dip" part. The reason I placed emphasis on your "college" comment..... people don't seem to want to accept that the NFL is a totally different sport than the NCAA. Johnny is gonna have problems. When he begins to fail (sooner rather than later) he will show his butt. Spoiled little prick!

Please refer to earlier comment about NFL being totally different sport than NCAA football. Let's let Bridgewater play a little against REAL defenses before win crown him king of anything. Louisville did not play ANYBODY!

Bridgewater.He just has to continue to be the kind of quarterback that makes good decisions and doesn't turn the ball over. He doesn't have to be the man, AP has that role. If it was purely look at his college stats or college competition, then guys like Aaron Rodgers (Pac 12 wasn't very good in 2002-03), Tom Brady (average career) or Joe Flacco (didn't even play FBS football) would have no chance. I think that people are forgetting that shortly before the Pro Day, Bridgewater found out he had an irregular heartbeat. Tell me that wouldn't have an impact on anyone? He did well in private workouts after.

Huh? No because he seems that way. Big time 3 year starter for Alabama. Dude lived the life. Hard not to be a cocky prick a little.
