    Soccer was called soccer in England up until about 1970.

    Then, England switched to "football."

    Fun fact: The 3rd place finisher at the very first World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930, was the US.

    I'm getting this very powerful James Franklin, Johnny Manziel, Jordan Matthews vibe lately. I think it would be received quite positively on the national level, actually.

    And another vibe bites the dust...

    All (Manziel) has to do is realize he can't take the hits and learn not to risk his health for 3 extra yards.

    Yup... but to do that Manziel has to reign in his competitiveness...

    @mike-h said:

    Every QB is one hit from being on a stretcher. If that's the only concern you've got, then hop on the Johnny train. If you have an issue with his size and durability, you have to question Hoyers, who missed most of an NFL season already.

    (Manziel) can also make more would-be tacklers miss than most.

    IF he sees them... Manziel's issue is the frequency with which he puts himself in severe injury situations.

    People said that when Chip Kelly passed on the Browns too. Gus wrote the book on uptempo offense

    Literally.

    Good read.

    It's why I'm on the Gus Bus. He's adapted his to both the high school and college levels and found success. He's a coach who adapts his offense to his players skills, not the other way around.

    Agree on Malzahn, but read that he is staying put.

    I am also kinda intrigued by the Seahawks DC, Quinn.

    Could explain why McDaniels wasn't offered the job.

    he was offered it, but turned it down.

    YEP, that's how bad the state of affairs is in berea right now.

    ok, they couldn't offer him the job because he is still in the midst of the playoffs. i thought it was a given that lombardi was pulling for mcdaniels, at least the was the consensus on this board.

    @mike-h said:

    Lol are you serious? Playing football is putting yourself in severe injury position.

    I can't do this anymore

    Totally serious, Mike... but in retrospect I should have said "big hit situations".

    It's the difference between running OB to avoid a hit and going for the extra yard and a half. It's cutting back inside against the grain versus going with flow of the D.

    In short... it's the proverbial better part of valor.

    Unlike Russell Wilson, to this point Johnny has shown competitiveness over self-preservation. Someday he may learn, but as of now that lesson in his future promises to be as painful as RG3's has been.

    And I'm not sure that RG3 has learned it yet. I am sure that aggressive running was part of what made RG3 the rookie he was. Without that part of his game, will he ever rise to that level again?

    Maybe Haslam can one up Jerry Jones and coach the team himself...

    @mike-h said:

    I think what you're trying to equate, RG3 + knee injury, is impossible to do when applying as a general assessment of players. Plenty of QBs run like Manziel in the NFL. Look at Kaep or Cam, running around, throwing at the last second before crossing the LOS and taking big hits. Injuries happen, especially to mobile QBs, but they happen to all QBs, I.e. Hoyer.

    I've seen Russ take some monster shots. That argument holds little weight with me. To each his own.

    so it's obviously you want us to pick one of the top 3 QB's in this draft.

    so in your unbiased opinion, being the journalist that you are, which QB should we try and get?

    I'm not done looking at Bortles and Manziel. Leaning towards Johnny.

    everyone say he's the most nfl ready. let's just hope he hits the gym and puts on some weight. plus you might as well kiss some of the more important draft picks for this draft and next year's away.

    IMO someone is going to fall to #4.

    I like Whisenhunt, heck, while we're at it we could bring in Kurt Warner to qb coach/mentor either Bridgewater or Johnny Football

    I'm beginning to find this "search" amusing...Lombardi (stooge #3) aka Tatoo, saying to Banner (stooge #2) aka "De Boss, with a lisp"........

    "De PLAN Boss, De PLAN! What de hell happened to de PLAN?
