Johnny Manziel

agreed. a wild card. no outcome would surprise that much. the game has changed and the paradigm for QB in the NFL has broadened. there are more offensive packages that are played in the League now to best suit the talent at that position.

that said, he does things in college that will blow up in his face in the NFL. that (admittedly amazing) play where he just throws himself into a crowd of blockers and defenders and somehow bounces out on his feet? yeah, in the NFL an outside LB or safety comes up and decapitates him. he doesn't live to make that play.

I wonder how good he would have been with Kelly in the read option at Oregon had MM not committed. All in all, I'd take MM over him because, if nothing else, MM's height will give him a shot, at least a shot, at being an NFL QB. I know it's being done now with shorter guys, and I'm no Hugh Millen, but if you can get height AND mobility in the same guy, you take it.
 
He's small, immature, and in the NFL guys are much stronger and faster. He's not going to flame out in two years or anything, but I would be surprised if he made more than one Pro Bowl ( Matt Schaub and Derek Anderson made one so it's obviously not that hard) and won more than one playoff game. Take all the screenshots you want.

The only guy who gets it in this thread. Can't believe you guys are all falling for the Manziel hype.
 
Manziel had a FANTASTIC offense in college. Two top 5 tackles and Mike Evans just for starters. He won't be able to do his playground football thing as much in the NFL. If he goes to the Raiders bust for sure.
