Jonathan Paul Manziel

4 Continued. If you look at his demeanor that game, look at his face, he had no doubt what he was going to do. Call it cocky, call it confident. I call it crucial for a winning qb.
5. He has a good strong arm, not great but above average.
6. He's smart. He got 33 on the Wonderlic.
7. Ability to avoid bog hits. He rushed for 1700+ yards as a Frshman and rarely took a "killshot" hit.
He's so quick and sees the field so well that he manages to avoid big hits. He took a couple big hits his second year because he had to, which leads to number...
8. Competitiveness. I've never seen anybody want to win more than Johnny. The 2 big hits I remember from year two were two plays he was trying to win the game. Once at the Auburn goal line, and once on 4th and 7 when he ran up the middle for a first down. The guy LOVES competing. He will do whatever it takes to win.
But he's not 6' 4" 230, so people doubt him. Texas fans, Baylor fans, Alabama fans all told me he wouldn't make it through a second year in the sec. "He's too small, he parties too much, he only cares about himself. SEC defenses are gonna kill him." All proven wrong.
Will Johnny prove his NFL detractors wrong? I don't know. I think he will. I hope he will. I guarantee he is not gonna be a Ryan Leaf/Jamarcus Russell type bust, though. He will work hard to make Cleveland fans proud.
Sorry for this being 2 posts, accidentally hit post on the first one.

Archie Manning sucked
He was a bust. He never amounted to anything except he fathered Superbowl winning QB's

Having the ability to reproduce after having played with the Saints back then is enough of an accomplishment to not be labeled a bust.

He was with his mom at the building he lived at, it wasn't like he was slanging dope in the projects at 230 am. Maybe it was John Lennon's fault that he got shot by some batshit crazy fan, because it's obvious that this cocaine addicted, convicted felon was right to go after him.
i really doubt that his mom was with him and his friend in the lobby of the building @2:30 in the morning. if that's the case shame on him for having his mom out that late.
i'm thinking his mom was in his room sleeping while him and his boy were creeping, for what? maybe we'll never know. i know at 2:30 AM in cleveland it's not like you're getting chinese food delivered.

He was in his apartment building walking to his room! Maybe some coked up moron will show up at your house one day late at night and try to hug you, and we'll all chastise you for it.
Look this idiot up on the Erie county court docs that went to 'hug' Manziel. He has a pretty lengthy criminal record for public intox, DUI, fraud, drug use, spanning back to 2001, yet you'll take his word for it over one of our players.

the LOBBY of his building!! not on the floor where he stays! what are you doing in the lobby of your building if not coming in from outside or meeting someone or somebody in that lobby?

man i should've been a detective.

Well Mik..
There is a Gym in the complex he lives..
A hot tub.. a pool... a lounge... a swanky roarin 20's style speakeasy.. an art gallery and a variety of things in the building... theres even AN INDOOR DOG PARK.. and MULTIPLE RESTAURANTS.. all in his building.
These are called... AMENITIES...
Seeing as how he lives in a place where hundreds of other people live and stay..
People SHARE these AMENITIES...
Therefore.. because he doesnt have his own property/house where he can relax and do various different things late at night.. he has to do them in the complex he LIVES...
So lets say he was chatting it up with the local millionaires club in the cigar room in his hotel/condo.. then he went to the levator maybe to head up to the pool to take a relaxing night swim...
then BAM.. Cracked out Cokehead waiting to attack...
The whole complex is considered his home..
He shares it with hundreds of others..
Why doesnt this happen to other big name quarterbacks?
Because they have houses in the suburbs and wives and children and shit.. they dont share anything with anyone

Who the fuck cares? He was in the lobby of HIS apartment building. He can do what he wants there, just like you don't plan on being attacked when you walk outside of your house to take out the garbage. How shitty is your life that you have to criticize a 21 year old that was attacked on his property by a drug addict?

Can we take these Brown's player bashing threads down? This shit is really sad considering so-called fans would rather talk about why our rookie qb will suck even though we are in a playoff run for the first time since 2007. Right now we're going to cheer on Hoyer and if he gets hurt then we're gonna cheer on Manziel, and if he gets hurt we'll cheer on Shaw/Grossman ect.

Nope, it says exactly what Gipper was getting at- so pay attention. He was pointing out- just because Manziel had great college stats, was drafted in the first round, (or I may add, just because he won a Heisman) is far from a 100% guarantee he's going to be a great qb in the NFL That's what the majority of the Manzealots are 100% certain of- and as Corso would say- "not so fast, my friend."
I dont get this post?
Theres a ton of Non red letter names on there.. Why assume Johnny is one of them and not one of the good ones?
We're assuming NOTHNG. Just pointing out the historical odds. Manziel was drafted at the exact same slot as Brady Quinn and Brandon Weeden. Aaron Rodgers got picked in the same neighborhood. I'd say the odds of him being the former, as opposed to the latter are around equal.

I wouldnt put Drew Bledsoe as a bust.
#1st round QBs have much better odds vs undrafted free agent QBs at not being busts.
BTW, anyone that would call Manziel a bust without him even starting a single game is lacking football knowledge.
Yes, some around here have called Manziel that- but not anyone who has a shred of football acumen. Some were calling for Pettine to get fired before the season started.The heavy betting odds were Hoyer wasn't going to make it past the bye week as the starter either.

His stats weren't much- but I'll argue he was hampered by having to play on some of the worst teams in NFL history.

He must have been taking his poodle for a little late night game of fetch. Mystery solved.

Just sounds like more long winded, anti JFF rhetoric to me.

Gipper, I thought you were a lawyer? This is the worst kind of pseudo-logic.

And as you go later into the rounds, more red would appear (if held to the same standards)
I did this for AP stats in HS based on QBR and round taken. There is a correlation. At least I think it was QBR, maybe we used something slightly different. Something that was pretty fair for determining"good" vs "bad"...
Exactly, how often does this have to be pointed out? QB success correlates pretty well with round taken. I did a similar analysis. To summarize, if you take the top 20 QBs in history and group them by round taken, the most highly represented round is the first. Gip is right in that being a 1st round pick doesn't guarantee success, but QBs picked in the first round are still the most likely to succeed.And as you go later into the rounds, more red would appear (if held to the same standards)

Drew Bledsoe was OK.

Bledsoe was the first choice to play Mary's ex-boyfriend in Something About Mary, but then he got bad publicity for the mosh pit thing and role eventually went to Brett Fav-ra after Steve Young passed because the content was too racy.

Good point! His gang was there to wipe the slobbery ball before handing it to Lil j man. J man needs a crew wipe his slobbery balls with so many lined up to provide the slobber.

He presumably gets the ball from his bodyguard, tries to throw the ball where the dog is expecting, sees a better opportunity, runs around a bit, and then throws it somewhere completely unexpected. But, the dog had a great time, and so did everyone who saw it, so let's just keep doing that.
