Jonathan Paul Manziel
-
Todays game is all about the mobile, make plays with your feet QB. JM is the next QB up that fits that bill. So run with it if he's there. Move up to get him if we have to. It really only cost us our 4th pick and 26 which was a windfall pick anyway.

Nobody wants to play
In a game where Duke could rarely get pressure, Manziel didn't do his usual routine.

Does JM ever go under center or is it all out of the shotgun?

I'd love to know why a new scheme has to be invented for Manziel. Please elaborate. Why is he incapable of running a WCO? Why is he incapable of running an Air Coryell influenced vertical attack. Why is he incapable of running an Erhardt-Perkins spread?

I'd love to know why he takes off running at every opportunity.

The only problem I have with that dude, is you can't take a guy just because he looks the part. Bortles has risen quickly because of that, but there are definitely a couple concerns.
I'm drunk, and this guy is far smarter than I am.. would highly recommend reading if you have 15-20 minutes:
Yes Mike I took the time, and Bortels does have accuracy issues. If they're related to footwork, they're correctable. As Mik said he does have the frame to take a pounding in the NFL. At times looked like a poor man's Andrew Luck.
No one is debating Manziel isn't a terrific athlete- can he be a great NFL qb is the question. Lots of happy feet in that video. If Bortles footwork is sloppy at times, Manziel's is about nonexistent. If that's a highlight reel, a couple of bad decisions stood out- throwing 50\50 balls that by all rights should have been intercepted, but his receivers made terrific plays on the ball.

The people who hate Johnny Manziel will be the first assholes to buy his jersey when he turns into a mega star.
1. I would much rather be wrong and watch than Browns win than be right and watch the Browns lose.
2. Farmer and his staff are professionals with far more talent scouting recruits than myself.
3. If Manziel is the guy they chose to be the next QB of the Cleveland Browns, he'll have my full support until he proves, through his play, that he doesn't deserve it.

I wasn't answering it- but the scouting report ahem- said doesn't have the arm to fit into a bombs away offense. & you're not watching if you don't see Mr. Happy feet dancing back there on virtually every play.

Just for shits and giggles everybody watch Manziels last College football game and count how many times he gets "happy feet" against a phantom pass rush and mark down the time it happens in the video then mark down every time he stands in the pocket and makes his reads. I'm interested in what your seeing.

Isn't that essentially what you are doing is just talking? Are they supposed to show up at your house and do a presentation on how Manziel lobs passes up and hopes for the best?

Ditto- You're having more fun bashing me than explaining why Manziel is such a great pick for the Browns @ #4.
It's combine week let's see what Mighty Manziel really weighs in at. Of course he's not going to throw- will he dare to step on a scale?

no I posted a video for you to watch as proof that he doesn't have happy feet and can go through his progressions. Its fact for you to see if you just watch, I'm not making it up. All I want you to do is show me proof where he consistently takes off when his first receiver isn't open or there is a phantom pass rush.
yes he threw a pass up for grabs, it was a bad decision that he got away with. but you guys act like he made a career doing it which isn't true.

An example of Manziel getting pressured and having to play in bad weather (Cleveland has that in spades).

I just think you're being awfully close minded on Manziel because you don't like him as a person and are therefore clinging to things that are either inconsequential or fabricated.
His "happy feet" are the same happy feet that Manning is praised for, as Mike referenced previously. Manning, however, moves in a vertical line in the pocket, whereas Manziel moves laterally. Obviously, they're incomparable in their styles of play, but "happy feet" is not a knock. It is a welcome asset in a quarterback.
"The Good: Poised under pressure, looks off the safety and takes what the defense gives him. Possesses a terrific pump fake, drives his long passes down the field and smartly places his deep throws in front of the target, letting receivers run to the ball. Gets outside the pocket, makes plays on the move and loses nothing on his throws displaying zip on the short passes or driving the deep tosses while on the run. In complete control of the offense in every sense of the word and a true leader that makes good decisions and does not put his team in a bad spot.
The Bad: Needs to improve his footwork, release and does not throw the tightest spirals.
The Skinny: A young signal caller with a tremendous amount of upside potential as he matures both physically and mentally. Great prospect for the future."
Would you say that's an apt scouting report for JF?

Yep he got pressured quite a bit, alot of missed assignments from the o-line.
Weather didn't look to bad, might of been a little cold.
what was your critique of Manziel

Maybe the truth is somewhere between that and the other scouting report bashing him as a third round developmental prospect. I'm sure you realize a bunch of respected scouts think he also has a tremendous downside. And really TC, skipping the attitude and just looking at the on field stuff, I can't see this guy as a top 5, much less #1 overall as Kiper has him. We're all entitled to our opinion(s).I feel a lot more confident with Farmer calling the shots than Lombardi. Have this gut feeling the odds of us drafting Johnny Football dropped considerably. I won't burn my season tickets if we do draft him, just cross my fingers and hope for the best.

The problem with the scouting report I just posted...
It was Ben Roethlisberger's from 2004.
I agree, he has downside. Then again, so does everyone. Literally anyone and everyone can bust. But you miss 100% of the shots you never take.
His floor is just as low as Bortles' or Bridgewater's or any other prospect, but I believe his ceiling to be the the highest.

well we know he's not going to grow any taller. only thing on him that will get any bigger at this point is him growing a big beer gut to go along with his ever-growing ego.
if he falls to us fine, if farmer and pettine want to go in that direction i will support the decision. but if clowney or maybe even watkins is there it will be very INTERESTING to see what they do. but i'd sure as hell not trade anything to move up for any of these guys unless farmer has a chubby for clowney.
promoting farmer and hiring a DC as a head coach has seriously deflated the chances of doing anything stupid with one of these QBs who could all be busts.
