Did not think 'Boys fans were allowed in Katy... not since it became a Houston suburb anyway...
Welcome to the Board...
-
I have spent a lot of my life rooting for the Texans and Aggies....
And then whoever plays tu and the cowboys.
-
Wow. Someone just told me they were at a mall in Houston that has two Lids stores and they are completely sold out of browns hats...
-
lol... no...
My money is on our Michael Vick... minus the dog hate... I hope...
Michael Wilbon (sp?) raised one comparison that never occurred to me... Jim McMahon.
The cockiness... the competitiveness... the leadership... not the worst I've heard.
As you are from East Texas I am sure you know about the Manziel Blue... a breed of fighting cock named after his family...

I have followed Texas A&M football since Bear Bryant days in the 1950's. What you get with Johnny Manziel is not just a QB, you get the best all-around athlete who has ever played the game at A&M in over 50 years of watching them all. This kid throws so well running to his left because in high school he was a .400 + hitter as a shortstop who constantly put those left running throws to first on the money with authority. He's also a just over par golfer. And one other thing to consider, Mack Brown at UT was offering him a scholarship as a safety, not a QB. He was so confident in Mack Brown being wrong that he turned down his dream school to go to their rival and win the Heisman as he made himself the player he knew he could be. When this kid says he wants to be the best that ever played the game, he isn't boasting, he's setting a bar.
All I can say is I'm now a Brown's fan and this is going to be one of the best carnival rides any of you have ever experienced. It's been that way for the last two years of seeing him in person like nothing I have ever known in all my years of attending A&M games.
And here's one to look for in the draft next year-he's better than 2nd overall pick Luke Joeckel or 6th overall pick Jake Matthews. He started at RG when those two were the T's, then to RT when Jake went to LT and now switches to LT for his senior year. He's a faster, more athletic version of the other two. He'll be in the top 10-count on it.
-
We always get new fans when we draft a QB (almost every year) and I have been with the attitude of lets see it.. Texas fans with Colt, Oaky ST. fans with Weeden and so forth.... Some of us are kinda jaded. Johnny is a great College player.... Hoping he does us well.
By the way Welcome aboard.
-
New Browns fan here too.
Can't wait for this season.

I fully understand any scepticism. On the Aggie boards we used to call it BAS (Battered Aggie Syndrome). Two years of electricity was the jolt we needed! He took a redshirt year to get the feel of what was required playing a pro style offense under Mike Sherman. So he's had that exposure. Hopefully your coaches will find a way to blend what he brings to the table, an escape artist who can throw strikes at any angle, running any direction. Build a unit around him and he will not disappoint. Ced O already understands how to extend the blocking as Johnny extends plays, so I hope you guys get him with one of your 2 first rounders next year.
I'm glad to be now be one of those Brown's fans who also got to watch the greatest running back ever, Jim Brown. One advantage of living a nice long life.

Ag,
I'm one of those guys who cheered for Jimmy Brown too. The selection of Johnny has me more than ANY pick since I was 10 years old in 1956. That pick was Jimmy Brown. There are a lot of skeptics out there & I may be wrong about Johnny, but I don't think I am. This kid's skills, intangibles, & determination to keep improving are off the charts.
BTW, welcome!
Mike

Remember years ago when Quinn was drafted and the reporter asked him "If you could have as good of a career as Bernie Kosar, but no better, would you do it?". Remember that? Well he said the right thing "I want to have my own career and I hope it is better than Kosar's".
I know I hope Johnny has a better career than Bernie did with the Browns, even though he was awesome. What is the opinion of the board? Do we think he'll be better or worse than Kosar?
-
Appreciate the welcome Mike. It's gonna be fun to watch this kid. He wants to be the best and has the brains to go along with the fire. He can't stand losing at anything. If you saw the Duke game you know he would not let any team member give up in that game down 21 at the half. He told them if they could not come back out and play without looking at the scoreboard, then they could just sit there in the locker room while he and the rest of the team took back the game. You can't make this stuff up. That's just the way he is.

I would jump deep into the shit of all you DATs (DumbAssTexans), if it weren't for the fact that my daughter is now one of you.
But she has decided to become a Cowboy fan, apparently. I think it was the Cheerleaders.
FYI, people like her look at the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders totally differently than you and I do. They actually look at them for the "Cheerleading" aspect of that squad. (she is a cheerleader at TU...Trinity, not Texas). Imagine that. Where we see tits and ass, they see rah rah rah.
-
LOL! All you have to know about this game is the looks on the faces of the Stoops brothers as he continued to run, dodge, jump, throw and fly past them on the sidelines with a lot of OU's superfast players in his wake. At one point they were both jumping up and down in total frustration as Johnny passed right by them on the sideline for a 30-40 yard run.
And his tightrope TD along the other sideline with a last second high hurdle over a 3 foot high invisible goal line was pure JFF. Just a hill country deer hopping the fence for a little more corn.
-
For the long term Browns fans. I think you will find that most of us are just excited for you. We have had a run of bad coaches and teams for many years until JFF showed up on the scene and gave us hope. We just like to come over here, read as much as we can and then share a little of that hope with you all. You will not believe how many of us in Texas are now Browns fans just because we know what we had and damn sure wanted him just one more year. We (I) am glad he went to a team that has shared similar kinds of struggles and unanswered hopes for so many year. We know exactly where you are! And we understand the trepidation of trying "just one more time" with a new staff to get it right.
I learn a lot about you by reading a lot of threads that I feel no need to respond to. Just educating myself. Thanks for being tolerant. Bill in Texas

Gipper-Yes I am now a Browns fan. I just can't leave an addiction like Johnny Football go after only two years. LOL!
PS-as this plays out I sincerely hope you all become addicted. I've seen only 4 players like this in the QB position, Staubach, Tarkenton, Flutie and JFF.
For what it's worth both Flutie and Stabach think he has the skills to make the transition and become the Browns' franchise QB. Don't know what Tarkenton says.
But Stabach said this after day one of the draft:
“I’m a Manziel fan. I see some of the coaches that have said it too, he’s got great instincts, and he’s got great accuracy,” Staubach said. “And he moves around. You have to move around. But he can still throw from the pocket. I don’t see any issues on the field that are a problem. I think he can get it done.
“Cleveland has a heck of a draft coming up. They had a couple of great first round picks. Hopefully, Johnny is going to have some people around him. I’m a big Cleveland fan. They have some great history there, and they want to get it back with Johnny there. He can't do it by himself though. He needs some help.”

She is not one that swings that way. I know she has a crush on....what else, one of the football players. Though I don't think anything is made of it. They haven't even had a date that I know of.
She did also like a Texas A&M guy...a relation of an in-law or the like. Nothing happened there either.

Your not a browns fan your just a Johnney homer. Don't confuse the two. If Johnny won the Super Bowl with the Browns you wouldn't be cheering because they won but because he won. And if he left, got cut or was traded you would never watch browns football again unless it was to watch him play against them.
