E.J. has the exact same question marks as Free. They are practically clones. Which is exactly why we should draft him. One of them will be damned good eventually.

@Macabee

I wouldn’t take Ryan Leaf over Freeman because Leaf doesn’t have the Jerry Curl look and can’t moonwalk.

Other than that they’re pretty much the same.

This shouldnt even be a topic anymore. EJ Manuel would not doing anything more special than what Josh Freeman is doing right now. PLEASE stop talking about wasting a pick on him. As for everyone believing Coach and him saying Freeman is “our guy”… yeah, for this year alone. There is nobody in FA or draft worthy of bringing in to be our future. Either Freeman leads us to the playoffs this year or Schiano makes the decision to move on and bring in a true QB, not a 6’6 project who was mediocre in college.

As a current fsu student this would be a HORRIBLE pick for the bucs. Ej plays good against bad teams and does crappy against good teams. He constantly throws off his back foot and single handedly lost the Florida game for us this year. Just because he won 4 bowl games isn’t a testament to him it’s because fsu’s defense is good. He is the same type of player as freeman so if you want more head aches then yes take him

@Joe McPherson looked more fluid running the rock, but he also had a cannon capable of pushing the rock downfield just like Manuel

Not so sure the FSU woes in big games should be pinned on Manuel or the Head Coach. As seasons pass more and more of Jimbo Fisher’s control issues are coming out. He lost a lot of coaching staff this year because of it and a few players came out early, IMHO because of it.

I think Manuel will be gone before we decide to use a latter round draft pick. He’ll be taken by the 3rd round which at that time he won’t be on our radar. Just way too many other needs.

Anyone who’s watched more than one FSU game knows Manuel is garbage. Watch last year’s game against UF. He played like and made decisions like a freshman.

We already have a crappy QB in Freeman. We don’t need another one.

This article that breaks down the QBs for this years draft really was an interesting one that really opened my eyes to EJ, you might like it Joe.

I’d spend a fifth round pick on Manuel. Maybe a four if we still had two when it came around. He was a mixed bag at Fla State. I have doubts whether he ever lives up to his potential, but he does have potential. He may yet mature into a good QB.

EJ Manuel is Adrian McPherson reincarnated.

Not exactly a terrible analogy, though McPherson was more of a runner, wasn't he?
