So Manziel is gonna keep coming out of retirement?

Manziel comparisons have gotten ridiculous, I've heard/read the following: Wilson, Tarkenton, Montana, Flutie and now Favre

To me it says that it's not Manziel's play-style that is Favre-ish, but rather his attitude. As the article states "...'I think he’s going to be great, but you’re going to have to deal with him on his terms.'..." That has to be worrisome. Yes, you may get some outstanding Quarterback play, but how much of a pain is he going to be throughout the week?


I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

We have to draft this guy. We need some attitude on this team.

I don't know who you can compare his play style to... I think maybe Farve's gunslinger attitude with Wilson's mobility? I don't even know. He's one of a kind. Let's get him.

Lets face it... he just won't look right in a tinhorn or blackhole uniform.

 

Besides... we will need a QB with mobility to get away from Clowney and Watt.

It's difficult to name two prospects farther apart in arm strength.

Favre had an absolute cannon.

 

No.

I doubt the comparison is for arm strength, more the style of play.

But that wouldn't make him "another Favre"

That's what I'm saying, I don't know if there's a viable comparison for Manziel's playstyle.

If we can create a winning culture with a locker room that controls its self, I think this team could handle Manziel. Yea he's a little crazy but who cares? Dude makes plays and if we can get Blackmon back and add a play-making TE, this offense could be scary good...(or drunk)

If Clowney and Manziel are there at #3, I just can't justify picking Manziel. When it is all said and done and the excitement of the bowl games dies down, and character/physical attribute questions start hitting the press, I am pretty sure Manziel will fall between 10-15.

Will someone explain to me why his stature is so important? I mean come on if he makes play after play after play it just doesn't matter.

There is literally not another QB in the league that small.

You just worry about someone with that style of play taking a big hit and getting hurt.

Look at Vick. He got hurt/gets hurt every year.

Jags2DaDeath, Wilson is 5-10, I think Manziel may actually be a little bigger than him.

Doubt Manziel reaches either.
