Message: [QUOTE="Libero2, post: 692192, member: 2812"] Several teams have crossed him off their list. I can think of a handful of teams, Indianpolis, Washington, GB, NO, baltimore, SF and Buffalo. All because they are extremely confident they have their franchise QB under contract. No one who needs, or even might need a QB is crossing a talent like Manziel off their list, right now, for what he's got against him. The NFL is not a group of choir boys, in fact their is a large population who are terrible human beings who have done any number of terrible things in their lives. Heisman winners are held to a higher standard? I think that's idiotic but hey that's your opinion. The guy won an award for football prowess, not being a good human being. Now if the media wants to treat him different and hold hi to some higher standard, well whatever that's their perogative. Ijust want to know why NFL GMs should hold him to a higher standard than a non-heisman winning QB. Say teddy Bridgewater at Louisville gets into a fistfight outside a bar next week (like Manziel a couple years ago) and gets caught with a fake ID, are you saying that's less relevant than Manziel doing it because he isn't held to the same standard because he didn't win a heisman? Despite the fact Bridgewater, is at this point, the best NFL QB prospect heading into the college season? The NFL could care less if Manziel has won a heisman. Plenty of exceptional college players win heisman and do jack diddly at the next level. All the evaluators will care about is if he can play the game at a high level, if he has the potential to become a superstar, and what is the liklihood he gets arrested and our suspended due to causing off the field trouble. IMO, based on currently available information, Manziel doesn't seem any more of a risk than Dan Marino coming out of college to me. [/QUOTE]
