Not a fan of EJ Manuel at the moment. Has problems in the pocket with pressure. Lots of turning away and not keeping his eyes downfield to make the throw. Pocket awareness and footwork is poor. He doesnt know how to buy that extra second with a little side step and then deliver the ball.
I think the guy has a lot of upside. Big, strong, athletic qb that needs to work on a few things but could be developed to an eventual NFL starter. Most likely will be a project QB though.
