tOfficial "Johnny Manziel" Superthread

[mcnabb7542]

I'm hurt. just kidding!



Serious or nah?

Serious, Yahoo has it, ( I couldn't copy the URL frickn yahoo)

He's calling BS to ESPN reports that Cleveland is taken JM, now the talk is about him falling...

 

[sonnyblack65]

My sources are saying Johnny Manziel did this and Johnny Manziel did that and I said " yeah sure"

 

[WNY_FOOTBALL_DUDE]

Things are quiet here in ATL...that could mean a trade is in the making. At least in the media, word is no deal for 2 #1s. I assume HOU came back with something less. The sticking point could be ATL's 2nd rd pick... ATL really wants an OT in the 2nd even if they get Clowney...and they would be in position for one @ 2.37

If that pick goes to HOU, maybe they pkg their 3rd & 4th (have 2 in 4th) to get back into the 2nd...idk...I'd be surprised if ATL doesn't not come away from this draft without a top tier OT.

Both sides would benefit greatly from the trade. The Texans really really need a quarterback, and the Falcons really really need a pass rusher to compete for the Super Bowl.

Johnny is the 2nd coming of Bo Jackson. They might be related, have to get them on the Maury show

Johnny Manziel says NFL teams will regret not picking him

On the eve of the NFL draft, Johnny Manziel said he has no idea which team will pick him but that any quarterback-needy team that passes on him will regret it.

"I believe they will, personally," he said Wednesday at a league-sponsored function in Lower Manhattan. "I know in my heart how good I want to be and how committed I am to this game."

The former Texas A&M star, projected as a possible top-10 pick, is confident he has alleviated concerns about his off-the-field habits. Clearly, though, he's still bothered by the perception that he's a schoolyard quarterback.

"I see there's room for me to improve, but to say I'm just a backyard-football quarterback, I don't think you do what I did in college and do some of those things [with that style]," he told about 40 reporters. "I don't think that's extremely fair. I hear it, but for me, I know it's all about my work ethic and my will to get better. That's very alive and inside me."

Yeah and that mule that lost the Kentucky Derby knew in his heart how good he wanted to be and was committed to winning, but in the end, he wasn't good enough.

Johnny needs to quit running his mouth.

Ever since the kid left A&M he's been telling people how great he was - yet he lacked the onions to throw at the combine.

The idea being that since he's not throwing to his receivers, his numbers would be low.

Well, DUH!

On the other hand, last I checked, whomever drafts him isn't going to get his receivers as a package deal. Whatever team is stupid enough to waste a pick on this guy is going to have receivers to whom he's never thrown the ball.

He looked great at his proday. SO WHAT?! You're supposed to look great at your proday.

He told the Texans that if they didn't draft him it was the biggest mistake they ever made.

This kid has bust written all over him and some chump team out there is going to waste a pick on him. I hope it's the Browns.

Johnny Manzeil, meet Troy Polamalu.

 

[Inquisitor95]

Cleveland will get him first.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

^ I'm sure JF could avoid TP 100% of the time...

 

[TDs3nOut]

Cleveland will get him first.

I'm not sure about that. Jay Glazer reports that he knows they won't.

The Cleveland Browns will not draft Johnny Manziel, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports | cleveland.com

Not absolutely sure that Glazer knows either.

That is my issue with Johnny Football.

His Attitude and the Way he carries himself off the field is that he only cares about Johnny Football

IMO he i little POS (just cleaning it up a bit) that missed a couple trips to the woodshed when he was Younger, and they where much MUCH need

I Probably going to get some hate on this post.

If so can i ask the people a couple questions

Has Teddy Bridgewater said anything?
What About Blake Bortles?
Derek Carr?
AJ McCarron?
Zach Mettenberger?
Jimmy Garoppolo?


Nuff said proved my point

He has the ability and intangibles. It is about: 1. Work ethic 2. How mentally strong he is. 3. Football IQ (with comes with time) 4. Confidence is always a great thing to have

You know what they said about Roethlisberger: "A pocket passer with marginal mobility and cannot escape the rush. Must improve his downfield accuracy as well as the placement of the outs. Majority of snaps are taken out of the shotgun."

He is the same type of player as Ben, minus the height.

That is the way he is, he will mature over time. Are they talking about these guys 24/7?? Did they win the Heisman as a RS sophmore?? It is expected.

No, he's not.

If I had to compare him to someone it would be either Vick or Vince Young.

Big Ben doesn't have speed, what's he got is durability (which Johnny may not have) and escapeablility. Johnny has that last one.

I don't think that he can play in this league for very long with his style. I don't think he can take the pounding like Ben Ben.

Moreover, he seems to me to be a loud mouthed shit that is all about JM.

He has no humility. Matt Lienart came in with that same 'Big man on campus" attitude and look where it got him. And didn't he win the Heismann trophy, too?

There's no way....no way...I hand this kid the keys to my offense.

IMHO he's not a first round pick, he's a 3rd round pick that someone is going to get suckered into using a #1 pick on. He should be viewed as a 'project' player, not a starter in his rookie year.

As for Big Ben....he was carried by an outstanding defense and ground game his first few seasons. If he had to rely on just him to make plays, he wouldn't have made it. Those things came in time - but he was mature enough to keep his mouth shut and not be arrogant. I don't know that JM will do the same. Whatever team is unlucky enough to get him, he's going to demand the offense be about him.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Rothlisberger says he thinks that Bortles, who I think is much more comparable to Ben than is Manziel, is the best QB prospect in this draft. He doesn't dismiss the possibility that Manziel can become a good NFL QB, however.

Ben Roethlisberger would choose Blake Bortles over Johnny Manziel - CBSSports.com

Excerpt:
"But that's not to say Roethlisberger doesn't think Manziel can find professional success. He even said Manziel could be a star early in his career. What Roethlisberger worries about, though, is the long-term viability of allowing Manziel to make plays outside of the pocket.More from Roethlisberger:

“I was in the weight room the other day with Joey Porter, (and he was) asking me what I thought about Manziel. I looked at Joey and said, ‘Joey, do you think if you got a good hit on him, that he would be OK? And he said, ‘No, not at all.' And that's my question.
“You have guys like Joey Porter, who's a big guy, guys that are fast like Troy (Polamalu), Ike Taylor coming off the edge, Lawrence Timmons. You'd better be real athletic, get down or be big to absorb the pounding an NFL quarterback can take.
“I think he definitely has a lot of upside, but let's wait and see. The key I'll say every year when I get asked about RGIII (Robert Griffin III), Andrew Luck, or whoever it is, Cam Newton. It's not about your first year, it's about years two, three and four.
“Can you sustain it when defenses, like Coach (Dick) LeBeau and the defenses he coaches, when they figure you out, can you find a way to stay a step above them?""
