If you watch Manziel he is not that bad of a QB.
I'd love to have him here as a backup because I think he still can develop into a pretty good player but the lightning rod that he is with the media just makes it not worth it.
He is the type of guy we need when Romo goes down though.
I would love RG3 as well as a backup because he is mobile, and throws down field well.
If we're not serious about firing Garrett and not drafting a QB then I want a guy behind Romo that is willing to make plays with his legs because no other QB is going to consistently do well in this trash scheme.
Actually, I disagree. JF is not a good quarterback. One of the quarterback gurus (Jaws, Dilfer, Steve Young or someone else I can't remember) did a break down on Johnny Manziel.
He can only see part of the field. He has one, maybe two good reads and if those reads are available, he starts to run.
The problem is he's not fast enough to outrun guys in the NFL. And he doesn't have the type of elusiveness that steps up in the pocket but still has his eyes downfield.
He's ready to run. And as we've seen already, he can't outrun everyone and gets hit when he does.
Besides, he's more like 5'10 and can't see over his blockers.
JF will easily be schemed against by making him stay in the pocket and forcing him to run up the middle of a defense where he's less likely to get out of bounds and more likely to take a hit in the middle of the field.
I like JF too and admit I wanted the Cowboys to take him because I thought he was a playmaker.
But I question whether he has the discipline and the talent to succeed on the NFL level.
