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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.
