    The zone read is just another aspect the opposing defense will have to plan for. Do not compare it to the Tebow era either, JM is a better passer then him, so the Defense wont just load the box up.

    and Tebow is a better (more sturdy for sure) runner

    strong runner for sure, but not faster. The read option is a gimmic play and works well in college. We wont be doing it all the time. Its just another element for the defense to plan for. The Shannahan offense is a run first one, and we have work horses for that.

    Well, I'm not too concerned about speed. No one is expecting their QB to be a homerun hitter. The read is a gimmick in the NFL that is gaining traction, it is the base of many college offenses though.

    I know we aren't going to be doing it all the time, but JF isn't a bug dude. One wrong read or one good play by a defender and he's getting laid out. We'll probably get to see it soon enough though.

  • Hey he can either handle the game or not. All the JFF fantatics act like his size is a non issue and think he is indestructible. I guess we will find out.

    Took them both several years to hit their stride though, I wonder if Johnny will deliver in 2014.

  • manziel has put a pretty big target on his back because of his antics that a lot of guys in the league dislike, meaning if they have a chance to put that extra zing into a hit, they will.
