Bortles already proved he was better than Bridgewater once this year.

Manziel reminds me of Joe Namath, who was the AFL's wild child when I was a kid. He partied his way to a Hall of Fame career, famously partying every night and screwing gorgeous women at will.

He was the first NFL media mega-star, and I can see bad boy Manziel following in the same role.

But this is a different era, and the controls now in place make a similar path difficult.

Manziel is head above the other QBs in this class and probably for some years. For his skills and his marketability, I would roll the dice on him. He is a heckuva lot of entertainment, on and off the field.

Joe Namath is massively overrated.

I hope Jonny Football has higher aspirations than to be Mediocre Joe 2.0.

Marques Tuisasopo is better than Drew Brees!

UW and Purdue had a massive difference in overall talent level.

UCF and Louisville, not so much.

Drew Brees could have won a Rose Bowel with Lambo's players?

Simple fact. Leading Purdue to the Rose Bowl is harder than leading WSU to the Rose Bowl.

I still don't understand how Purdue was favored in that 2001 Rose Bowl game. At the time that felt like the dumbest point spread ever.

How many were they favored by? What a joke, they had 3 losses before that game.

Granted UW didn't meet the "eye test" and at the time the Big 10 had won seven of the eight previous Rose Bowl meetings.

Plus the media fell for the "It's Tui vs Brees and Brees is better so Purdue will win" which even Vegas fell for. I believe Purdue was favored by 2 points.

What they forgot was UW had the better defense, better OL and better coach. Plus in college that year Brees was barely better than Tui. It's a lot closer at the time than people realized.

Remember both QB's were second round picks so it wasn't this huge gap like you would think looking back.
