Never forget Manziel & Crackenberg were actual 1st & 2nd round NFL picks.
Eh, not comparable. Manziel actually had talent. He was always going to be a 1st round pick, and would hsve certainly been a top-5 pick if not for his cavalcade of issues. Manziel, like Gordon, is disappointing because he's a clear case of wasted talent. That man could scramble, stop on the dime, plant his feet perfectly, and with perfect mechanics whip a 50 yard accurate throw downfield. Big difference between Gordon and Manziel is that, while both were ruined by the environments they grew up in, I'm much more sympathetic to Gordon. For one, he wasn't a spoiled rotten brat like Manziel, and second he's never hurt anybody but himself.
Hackenberg, on the other hand, was terrible and anyone besides the Jets could have predicted him as a failure.
