Quote:I like teddy and possibly Carr more than Manziel, but here's my opinion.


What does sensing pressure matter if you rarely get sacked?


What does staying calm matter if you can have success again and again?


What does stepping up matter if your spatial awareness is so great (can't argue thats a skill of his) that you know where the defense is and how to avoid them?


That's the thing with Manziel. His entire game, from his height to his playing style, defies the norm but has been so successful.


The question is whether it will carry over.

 

I think his problem in the NFL is that teams wont allow a lot of that.  We saw LSU and Mizzou expose him by forcing him to stay in the pocket.  He takes advantage of teams that allow him to scramble and wait for his WRs to get open.  Contain him in the pocket, give him a variety of looks in the secondary and he isnt Johnny Football anymore.
