Johnny Manziel

[Jimmya]

2 years.....2 highest total offense seasons in SEC history. 9989 total yards in career (most by any player through sophomore season. 63 pass td's and 30 rush td's. Last night's game was amazing. Kiper and McShay have him in top 10 for the draft. Awesome game last night, dude never quits.

I agree...I would not take Clowney because of what happened with Mario Williams. I really like Bridgewater but you are correct, Reliant would be rocking every game with Johnny Football.

Brees ran for 52 yards this season. Manziel will run 52 yards a game, that is a lot of opportunity to get rocked by enormous full-grown men, instead of 18-21 yr old kids.

Hog Farmer, you need to watch the game from last night and watch it without Manziel's balls in your face. Almost every big play he made involved him running around and then passing to a receiver who had finally broke free or him simply running the ball. That will not work for him in the NFL. Defenders are too fast and he will end up getting hurt. Look at Kaepernick and Newton as examples. As soon as the NFL slowed down their ability to run the ball, they had to adjust to throwing the ball more from the pocket. Kaepernick still hasn't figured out how to be a successful QB from the pocket and it took Newton a full season to adapt his game. The major difference between Kaepernick and Newton to Manziel is that they both have NFL arms and Manziel doesn't.

Kiper has Manziel as 3rd best. Bridgewater #1, Boyd from Clemson #2, Mariota #4, McCarron from Bama #5

Brees has a far superior arm than Manziel and is one of the smartest QBs in the league.

I think houston is likely to take him to excite the fanbase as much as anything else. People down here are mostly all johnny f homers. (houston whodat, et al.)

I like when people type exactly what I'm thinking. It takes way less effort.

If Bridgewater and Manziel were equal prospects, I'd say Houston would take Manziel. The fact is that Bridgewater is the better prospect and teams don't select lesser players, especially at the QB position, for the sole purpose of exciting the fan base. If that were the case, Tebow would have been drafted by Jacksonville. Owners will always choose a chance at long term success over short term hype.

Brees is six feet tall. Wilson is 5'11".

Manziel improvises too much to succeed in the NFL.

I wouldnt bet on it. Remember, the Texans passed on VY when in this same situation.
