Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Quote:Like I said I'm no Manziel fan at all but I'm sick of hearing he's "not committed" cuz he does a commercial or a picture is taken of him at a party. 

This is a very true statement. The fact that Manziel came back into his second season(after all the rumored signature scandals, after all the rumored partying, after all the Manning-camp stuff), and ended up having an actually BETTER season than he did his heisman winning season; tells you that whatever people don't like about him off the field does not translate when he gets on the field.

 

No one has ever been able to produce any evidence that Manziel's off the field behavior has ever hurt or hindered his on the field production. Until that happens, what's the big deal?...So he's the next Lebron/Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning when it comes to marketing, no big deal. If his play is not effected, why do we care?

Quote:"Im just a normal guy from a small town."

That phrase was just trademarked by Manziel and Nike. That's gonna cost you. lol

After MAnziel's first year as starter, Texas A&M's athletic department raked in $120 million in revenue, sixth-highest of any school in the country.
A&M has never been that high in its entire history.



Manziel will see none of that money, never will.

The Aggies football staff, however, did. Head football coach Kevin Sumlin got a $1.1 million per season raise thanks to Manziel's strong rookie season. The rest of the coaching staff was handed an extra $700,000 to share between them.








The guys earned his keep fellas.

A&M has had a rabid fan base for decades. Johnny didnt build that.


Also, thanks to Johnny Goofball amazing seasons... he gets to play in the NFL for millions. All the coaches and staff who helped him along the way at A&M will see none of that.


See it goes both ways.

Yet, but most big schools including Florida, Florida State, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, Oklahoma, UCLA, USC, Georgia,Clemson, etc, etc, etc have rabid fanbases too. Manziel has changed A&M forever.

 

Texas A&M was the third-most watched college football team in 2013(only behind Alabama and Michigan).

I don't care how 'rabid' there fans are, A&M has never even been in the top 10 of most watched teams in college football, ever. MAnziel drew in more viewers than FSU, Texas, Oregon, Auburn, etc...That's not just coincidence, that's crazy badger. That just doesn't happen. I don't think people realize just how big he was for the school, and won't until many years from now.

In the rendering of the new stadium is the statue of Johnny Football? Neil Boortz? 

 

Who is the most famous Texas A&M alum? Football player?

I'm starting to think JohnnyJaguar IS Johnny Manziel.

This reminds me of when Tim Tebow trademarked Tebowing™

That doesnt necessarily equate to funds available to build a stadium


Where is Obama when we need him to give a "you didnt build that" speech?

Since when is confidence a bad thing in a QB? I mean if he was a FB or something I might be worried lol

Is there a limit on how much he should be allowed to earn?

With Khan original love for Tebow and wanting to be the hottest ticket. Johnny football will be a Jag.

Lol. I love how people will bash a guy for making money when they would do the exact same thing. It's pretty sad. Jealousy.

Khan has already said he won't go over his football operations' heads. If Manziel is the pick it isn't because he is the "hottest ticket".
