I think the difference is that the only hits Bridgewater will take will be in the pocket. Manziel, like RG3, WILL get hit in the open field, no matter how much a coaching staff tries to convince him to slide. I also think there is a much greater chance that Manziel falls out of the top 3 than Bridgewater. I say 3 because I think it is very likely the Rams take Jake Matthews at 2.
All that being said, I'd definitely take the risk with Manziel over Bridgewater if I were making the decisions in Houston.
Based on what? R U comparing pro stats or college stats? We all know Manziel does not have any Pro stats so he is out of that, I never compared his NCAA stats to RG3 so u might be correct on the college level, but different games, different teams, it is a useless conversation. Sorry!

You are thinking the way the EXEC's in Houston are thinking, Look at the Cleveland Football Franchise, the put asses is seats every game, if Houston puts a fragile little man called Johnny Football on the field he will do the same, put asses in seats and that is worth more than most would think.
I don't know how he will do professionally, but Johnny is one hell of a college football QB.
Since all NFL teams derive more revenue from TV than game day tickets, I'm not so sure that there is much of a financial consideration in drafting a QB to "put butts in the seats." I don't think the Texans have problems selling tickets anyway.
