Have you had the opportunity to watch the Senior Bowl practices from Mobile this week ? Carr has been the most impressive QB there and scouts report he's been very accurate with his passes, including those thrown vertically down field. If you can, catch the game today (3 - 6 NFLNet).

Haven't watched any practices but have heard he has looked good. I've also heard that this is the weakest Senior Bowl in history and that there are only a handful of guys there that are potential 1st rounders. Time will tell but I think there was very little that took place when real games were actually played that would suggest Carr is a better football player than Manziel.
No idea how married O'Brien is to prototypical QB measurements. I think all Coaches are to a degree. I've heard people suggest that he is more stringent than others but the only evidence of this that I've heard is Brady and Hackenberg. I must say, I don't understand this. Brady was the best QB in the world when he got to NE and Hackenberg was the No. 1 high school QB in the country. All this tells me is he wants the best player he can get. I suspect if he thinks Manziel is the best option, he'll go with him.
