Quote:Take away Manziels mobility and he's a 7th round pick.

I would ask you to define 'mobility' Swag.

 

1)Do you mean mobility in 'running straight ahead', like Michael Vick, Cam Newton or RG3?

2)Or do you mean mobility in 'keeping the play alive behind the line scrimmage' before the throw?

 

If you're speaking about number 2, I would agree with you to a degree. But if you're saying number 1, that MAnziel's 'best' attribute is his straight running ability, I would humbly disagree.

 

Johnny had almost identical completion percentage to Teddy last year. 71% to 69.9% if I remember correctly.

Johnny had more yards 'per pass' than Teddy

Johnny had a higher passer efficiency of the two

Johnny overall had more yards passing on the year

Johnny had less sacks than Teddy did last year

Not to mention a higher QBR too.

 

And none of that has anything to do with his running in the open field. Again tho, apologies if you were talking about mobility in regards to him keeping the play alive for a few more seconds before the throw, because if that, then I do agree with you. That is his trademark, not as some think, his strictly his downfield running ability.
