I know it's only one year, but If you had to guess today knowing JFF would be drafted in 2or 3 years, will his NFL career be more like:
1. Michael Vick
2. Doug Flutie
3. Tim Tebow
4. Write in candidate of your choice.

He'll be an NFL bust. Just like Tebow.

None.
Probably the best comparison due to speed and elusiveness. Doesn't have the arm strength of Vick though and is smaller.
Can scramble much much better and is faster.
Better passing game and more elusive, although obviously not as good north/south.
Manziel is a different mold. He has a good arm and is elusive as frick and fast as hell, but small. It'd be like if Drew Brees wasn't as accurate but could run a shite ton faster.

If he can bulk up we could see a Mike Vick type career

I never said he'd be a good pro

But it doesn't take much to be better than Tebow

He can throw FAR better than Tebow, and is much faster.
Not saying that he won't be a bust, but there's nothing to suggest he'll follow the Tebow career path as of yet.

Analysis
Positives... Touch passer with the ability to read and diagnose defensive coverages...Confident leader who knows how to take command in the huddle...Very tough and mobile moving around in the pocket...Has a quick setup and is very effective throwing on the move... Throws across his body with great consistency...Hits receivers in stride and improvises his throws in order to make a completion...Puts good zip behind the short and mid-range passes...Shows good judgement and keen field vision...Has a take-charge attitude and is very cool under pressure...Hits receivers in motion with impressive velocity...Has superb pocket presence and uses all of his offensive weapons in order to move the chains...Has solid body mechanics and quickness moving away from center...Elusive scrambler with the body control to avoid the rush.
Negatives...Plays in the spread offense, taking the bulk of his snaps from the shotgun...Tends to side-arm his passes going deep...Lacks accuracy and touch on his long throws...Seems more comfortable in the short/intermediate passing attack...Does not possess the ideal height you look for in a pro passer, though his ability to scan the field helps him compensate in this area...Will improvise and run when the passing lanes are clogged, but tends to run through defenders rather than trying to avoid them to prevent unnecessary punishment.
GAZING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL... Despite his "shortcoming" in the size department, Brees has put up impressive enough numbers to generate first round consideration. Pittsburtgh, Kansas City (if they don't pull off the Trent Green trade) or Miami could opt for Brees in the first round, but I am not convinced that he will come anywhere close to matching his lofty collegiate figures at the pro level. If those three teams pass on him, Brees will still be on board when the second round opens.

Glad people oppose the Doug Flutie comparison.
Big difference between 5'10 and 6'1. So much more can happen at 6'1.
I like the Steve Young comparison.
Michael Vick-Drew Brees hybrid.

Where did you find this?
Does it have old draft reports on all players?

he's 6', and there's not really that much of a difference in 5'10 and 6'

lol. George had one of the best arms the NFL has ever seen. JFF has an average arm by NFL standards.
