Could Manziel Yet Be A Texan?

Varying degrees of interest in each QB, of course.

I don't think Manziel fits this O'Brien profile. He's neither big-bodied nor keen for decision-making.

Garoppolo and Barkley are 6' 2" vs Manziel's 6'. Neither are considered big bodied by anyone. Fitzpatrick is also only 6' 2" and he has 99 INTs and 33 fumbles in 90 career games. Nobody would describe Fitzpatrick as big bodied or keen for decision making. I don't think anyone would consider Mallett, or Savage keen for decision making for that matter.

None of that changes the fact that O'Brien could have had Manziel and chose not too (twice really). I just don't think it is accurate to put that list up and claim that it shows keen decision making and big bodied are keys of O'Brien's.
