Throwing the ball far doesn't have much to do with arm talent. JaMarcus Russell had one of the biggest arms to ever grace the NFL, that got him real far didn't it?...

He didn't play many games because he was terrible. Yet I have no clue LOL. You just seem upset because he was likely somebody you were hyping up and wanted in the top 5 during that draft year.

All you had to do was watch how LSU played vs him for those 2 years and you could easily tell he'd be terrible in the NFL. They played him just like NFL teams would/did play him. Keep him in the pocket and let him beat himself by throwing it. Don't let him make plays by running around and you're gold.

Manziel never had anywhere close to the skill set for the NFL game. Far and away his best skill set was his legs and a 5'10, 200 pound QB with very little football knowledge, minimal arm talent and no pocket presence would ever make it in the NFL. Add onto the fact that he likely never watched film, or study a playbook in his entire life. It was easy to see him being a huge flop in the NFL.

And that's not even bringing up his off field issues.

Hey now, Manziel is still the last Browns QB to win on a Sunday!
