tOfficial "Johnny Manziel" Superthread

[UK Cowboy]

Manziel is guaranteed to be a joke. Wilson may not be all that good, but compared to Manziel he's the jerry rice of the position.

Tell me, what about his skill set is even NFL average?

He will never raise to the level of Jake Locker, that's for sure.

I havent watched enough of Manziel,but Montana and Favre are sold on this kid. Along with the Hesiman voters and NFL scouts

The Boys have been talking D all offseason and Jerry Jones did show up at Notre Dame's game which means he might be giving Louis Nix a look.

Jerry Jones has also said that the Boys will not be spending a significant pick on QB.

Jerry Jones much like Buddy Nix in the past is one of the most transparent GMs with regards to what they're going to do. They never threw up smoke screens. About every freaking mock in the NFL had him taking Tyron Smith in 11, a corner/safety in 12, and an OL in 13.

I think they'll take Hageman or Nix. Possibly Ealy to replace Ware, but they gotta fix the DL. Nearly bottom 5 in rush yards allowed while still being the worst D by far last year. Not buying any offense pick in the 1st and Dallas will likely re-sign Doug Free once his contract is up. He wont be too expensive at 31 (32 by 2015 season end) so I feel OL is out of the question.

And Henry Melton is a pass rusher. The Cowboys were horrible in pass yards allowed but they gotta pair him with something else up front. If anyone thinks Melton alone solves Dallas' defensive woes, you are sorely mistaken.

I can't see the Cowboys going for J Football when they have a bigger need on the OL and DL. I think it would be a huge step backward for the Cowboys, but you never know with Jerry Jones.

Actually, you usually do lol.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Very, very doubtful...the reports of maybe a McCarron, or another 2nd or 3rd rd grade guy make sense...Jones won't go tat far off the grid in the 1st rd when he's committed that much money to Romo.

Cowboys could pounce on Manziel | ProFootballTalk

really so doubtful

Dallas wants Manziel ?

Dallas Cowboys will find way to get Johnny Manziel in 2014 NFL draft? | Audibles - SI.com


Is Jones losing his mind completely…. I"m not saying Manziel can't pan out to be a fine QB, but Dallas is soft on defense and your not winning in football with the worst defense in the NFL… If he trades UP to nab Manziel and gives up draft picks Cowboy fans have every right to freak out …. Dallas can't run the ball and they can't stop anyone on defense… THE LAST thing that should be on Jerry's mind is Manziel… You don't build a good team with sexy offensive picks year in and year out…

From a football angle he's out of his mind and has been for years.

Now from a marketing angle it's brilliant. Because adding Manziel will easily make the Cowboys the most talked about team after the draft and for a while which is what Jones cares most about.

Despite being mediocre for years the Cowboys still wound up with 5 prime time games this year which is just as many as actual good teams.

I don't doubt that Jones wants to win but he would much rather his team be a circus and rake in cash than being boring winners.

I put no stock in this rumor. Everyone knows if Jerry is saying it, it's a lie. If he is talking JFF up, then its a smokescreen. Maybe trying to keep someone from jumping in front of him for a player they really want.

The last thing we need is a 1st round QB. I think every position is a bigger need than QB.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

^ So Romo is still your guy at QB?

Good point… Because it would be talked about like crazy no question…

With what we are paying him, there is no other option.

 

[jarntt]

Damn I wish I could argue with the OP that that he was wrong. Oh screw it since everything he said was true all I can do is point out it should be "you're"...now I feel better.

For the record, I don't know many Cowboy fans that want Manziel and that includes the legions that don't think Romo is the answer. Well there is one, but Fordman banned him a while back...Sadly I wouldn't actually be surprised if we took him, but Marinelli seems to be the one with Jerry's ear this offseason and I can't imagine he's seuggesting Manziel...

OK, here is my disagreement...Dallas can run the ball, they just aren't willing to...they panic when they get behind or have a few unsuccessful running plays and also audible out of a running play any time the defense gives them an excuse too.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

So this post is just growing weeds in your back yard so that you can pull them. Correct?

 

[WNY_FOOTBALL_DUDE]

Jerry Jones is obviously throwing a smokescreen here. No way, he's drafting Mr. Football at #16. He's probably looking for somebody to trade into that spot.
