Not sure how many of you have read of know Bud Elliott. He's one of the best FSU guys on the net and he's very well connected to the program. That being said he's not draft talent evaluator but he at least offers a good look at what Manuel was at FSU. Some of his write up is not kind to Manuel. Here is a sample;
I would not draft EJ Manuel with a top-50 pick. Someone will, of course, because they think they can be the one to take those tools and bring out the superstar player. His play on the field at Florida State was that of a third- or fourth-rounder. His team had a talent advantage over almost all opponents, and that helped to hide some of his flaws. He was a fine college quarterback whose numbers are better than his play.
