it is interesting that this guy is picking out that based on the parcells matrix and a serious of other stats that EJ was consistently on top.
How is it he was so far behind on the national polls?
He was a big body, in a good program. is it because he simply stopped running so much and became a better passer?
if he does pan out and keeps improving, i owe the bills front office a big apology. Here's to hoping that I do.

i seem to recall posting that i thought manuel was a shoe in for the first round sometime around last year this time. i think my defense of that claim was something along the lines of "he has all the measurables that turn a scout or a gm or an owners head". in short he had the body and arm of a 1st rounder, plenty of college starts and progressively better numbers and that all of that together would be too enticing for some team to pass him up.
i seem to recall the general response to that claim was Manuel who?
that said i was and remain very skeptical about his potential as a pro. i like what i've seen these past two weeks. and i long figured half his problems at fsu was his oc, but in the end i don't think he has "it" to be a star or even an above average starter in this league.

Now that's column writing. An opinion laden piece with factual evidence to back up the views in order to sway a reader to buy in.
