Watkins: Cowboys back in developing a quarterback stage

[Deuce]

Manzeil comes across like an undisciplined sandlot street player.

I think that's a good way to describne Romo for the first 6 years of his career.

They are similar in other ways in that they were/are highly productive and ridiculously popular college players who aren't suited to pro offenses. Tebow had no business being drafted in the 1st round no matter how productive he was in college.

Someone is going to draft Manziel, but it should not be in the 1st round.

There is always the potential that one team grades Manziel as a first rounder. It's what we saw last year with the Bills and Manuel. When it comes to a QB there is a ton of unpredictability in the draft. With that being said I think Manziel was a third rounder according to experts after last season. I could easily see him going in the second or third round because of his size and attitude. Hell Wilson was a third rounder afterall simply because of his lack of height. Manziel physically does not fit your typical mold of a NFL QB and that usually means he won't go in the first round.

We're going to pick in the 1st round right?

He'll go in the first.

No. Romo has never had a propensity to run with the ball. He only does so as a last resort. Manzeil on the other hand looks for opportunities to run.

One huge difference: Wilson was reading defenses both at NC State and Wisconsin. He was making pre-snap reads and calling audibles. Bonehead merely relies on his athletic ability to get by. He doesn't read coverages.

I don't believe that he does not read defense...unless of course you are breaking down tape.
