I agree with this^^^^^^ however I will add the caveat on Manziel with this. He did not have the size but he had the skill set IMO to have been successful in the NFL by studying the playbook and working at being a QB. Instead he was a dumb entitled kid with a party animal attitude that flamed out from being STUPID. By the time he came around his chances were gone. Another story to ad to the pile of what if that is littered with entitled young men that waste opportunities that others would give anything to just have the chance to show what they could do.Who expected Howell to carry the Skins? Talk about unrealistic expectations. Far as Williams being deemed the next great one. That's just how it goes. Sometimes those doing the deeming are right. Sometimes they're not. So now Williams n Daniels ain't shit cuz they didn't carry their college teams in your opinion.
By that criteria, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, John Elway n a gang of others shouldn't have did much in the pros. Whereas Matt Leinart, Johnny Manziel n others should've been mega-superstars.
Just my opinion and a lesson to look at when taking in the total package and risks of drafting the QB to be the face of your team. Thank God Stephen Jones threatened to kill Jerry and Manziel did not end up a Cowboy. Bullet dodged
Happy New Year Redskins fans hopeful y’all get a great new staff and GM along with a new name to flush the stench of Snyder down the toilet where he belongs.
