Don't know why the Manziel references, he's much more of a complete QB than Manziel ever was both mentally and physically.
He has plenty of height to play in the NFL, he's actually taller than Brees and Wilson. So I don't really see it as an issue.
His accuracy, long ball, TD-INT ratio are all off the charts. Even tested high Football IQ. Look at game tape. His balls aren't batted down. Give him some passing lanes and let BM find them and adjust his throwing angles and maneuver in the pocket. He will get the job done.
I understand many might feel he's a system QB, so then why do you want Mason Rudolph?
We never really got to see what Manziel could have become because of his substance abuse problems which he let become severe.
While there are some similarities in their playing styles, the fact that Manziel self destructed shouldn't be painted onto Baker.
Baker has a decent chance of succeeding.
Seems like Baker may go as early as #3 overall to the Jets according to some and definitely before the Bengals pick.
It will be interesting to watch and see how his career turns out.
