I know many draft niks and fans are clamoring for the Bucs to draft a quarterback if the team deems that player worthy of a high draft pick. But what I have not heard as the basis of anyone's argument is the degree of difficulty  that the current group of quarterback prospects were under from a positional requirement for the offenses they operated. Case in point when pundits talk about Teddy Bridgewater - to me is his degree of difficulty in operating the Louisville offense - it was a more balanced pro style attack the required hm to read opposing defenses, anticipate and deliver the football while he maneuvered within the confines of the pocket to elude rushers.Now I know everyone likes Johnny Manziel for his flair for the dramatics and his ability to make plays when things breakdown around him - but when I compare his degree of difficulty in the Texas A&M offense it pales in comparison -  the offense did not ask Manziel to make pro style reads and was more sandlotish. This to me is a steep climb to overcome. And, part of my reasoning why I am not sold of Manziel and think Bridgewater is a better prospect at this point and is viewed as more pro ready than any of the other QB prospects.
