Johnny Manziel (unemployed)

[MaxBuck]

Assignment football. The DB came up thinking Manziel would run, left his guy wide open.

Yeah, I'm just talking about Manziel getting out of that scrum in order that he could even throw the ball. He has the best balance I've ever seen.

That was a pretty phenomenal play.

Here's where my doubts lay, Re: his NFL future-- he's listed at 6'1 / 210. Look at him. He's scrawny. There's no way he's 6'1 / 210. I'd eyeball him at more like 6'0-6'1 and 180-190. He doesn't look much bigger than Tater Tot Forcier. He will get snapped in half if he has to make plays like that in the NFL.

 

[MaxBuck]

I won't argue that Manziel has much future in pro ball. I guess I'm sorry he's leaving college given how phenomenal he is at this level, since I don't think he'll have a chance to do anything remotely similar once he leaves.

 

[NFBuck]

He was a great college player. It's hard to deny that. I despise the little puke, but he was fun to watch.

I've seen him listed at 5'11"

If he's 5'11, he weighs 180 tops.

He's obviously a GREAT college football player, but I think he'll be a so-so nfl qb at best. I watched a little bit of the game last night, and he's not nearly as athletic as I thought he was. I thought he was on Braxton's level (maybe a little short of it), but he's not even close to Braxton's athleticism. He's just shifty as hell. But that won't work in the nfl.

You're too young to remember Fran Tarkington?

Yes I am. But it looks like he played in the 60's and 70's? So my question would be 1) was he potentially ahead of his time and 2) were defensive linemen 280 pounds running 4.6-4.8 40's and linebackers 240 pounds running 4.4-4.6 40's?

Manziel also makes decisions justlikethat, and nearly always the right ones.

Brax makes his decisions kind ........ of ..................... like ................................ this.

If he gains weight and is utilized more like Russell Wilson and less like RG3 then he can be effective, just probably not in year one. Shit, the Oakland Raiders got 3,300 passing yards out of Terrelle Pryor and Moxie McPicksix this season.

Oh I think he a better qb than Braxton in the pros, I just don't think he'll be that good. Just using Braxton's athleticism as a comparison tool since I thought he was on his level.

I think if Money Badger and Braxton both come out this year then Money Badger will be a better NFL QB. I believe if Braxton comes back and continues to develop he has a higher ceiling and could possibly be a better NFL QB.
