I can't lie. I wanted the Jags to draft him.


Glad they didn't.

Manziel was supposed to be the next Russell Wilson, but he was too immature off and on the field, came from a spread offense, and went to a bad team. If he's not smaller than Wilson then he definitely stands smaller in the pocket, and has to arm most of his deep throws. Also believe Evans/Joeckel/Matthews made him overrated, and his speed didn't transition to the pros and he's not even close to Wilson's elusiveness. If RW hadn't won a Super Bowl, don't think Manziel's taken in the first

Manziel's NFL career was doomed when he decided to play in Sumlin's garbage system.

Manziel looked good. Much more in command of the pocket and looking to throw when flushed out of it.

Either Sumlin's or Oregon's. Most quarterbacks coming out now come from spread offenses. Starting to really effect how NFL teams design an offense.
