Well, yeah, if you're going to pitch a QB at 1-1, you won't find anybody acceptable at 2-1 or it destroys your argument. I'm sure McClain really wants them to take Manziel because that will make *his* life easier. JFF is like a one-man publicity machine from a local college with a huge fanbase. From a beat reporter's viewpoint, what's not to like?
The counter, of course, to his "pick of the litter" theory is that if none of the QBs are really worth a 1-1, then why pick one over a better athlete at another position of need?
I think the last two NFC Super Bowl teams prove you don't need to take a QB at 1-1 to make the big dance.
