There's two differences.

1) Right after being drafted, a LOT of people pointed out that Manziel's style would get him eaten alive and destroyed (physically) by Baltimore and Pittsburgh. He didn't even make it to them before getting torn up, so how is he supposed to survive against them in the years to come?

2) The Texans don't have a revolving door of scapegoated defensive players. Cleveland does that to their QBs.
