Quote:Just for the record I do not go to other team boards to pimp JM. I only came to this one because he would be the perfect fit and the tarps would come off the empty seats. The Jags need someone like this to keep the franchise in Jacksonville. So if you get him you better go see him because I will say it one more time. He attracted so much money to A&M that they are building this $400M+ makeover of Kyle Field. Did it bother them that he didn't win them all? No. It was just awesome to watch him play because you never knew what he was going to do next to top the last unbelievable play. 

 

At A&M, when he first got there, the majority of fans had what was called BAS-Battered Aggie Syndrome. It looked a lot like the "we're screwed no matter what we do" things I have read here.  Two years of this magic player have cured 99% of those afflicted. Take the cure. Watching him escape to burn your enemies is a lot of fun.

 

Do you have any idea how many people have told us Player X would remove the tarps?  Guess what?  The tarps are there because the stadium is too big for the market.  No player is going to make the market larger, including Manziel.  We heard the same nonsense spouted when Tebow was the target.  The only thing that's going to make the tarps go away is downsizing the stadium capacity even further. 

 

Our stadium capacity, even with the tarps installed, is higher than big market teams like Chicago.  Did you know that?

 

The Jags aren't going anywhere, and they've somehow managed to accomplish that without having some magical player who is the fan proclaimed savior.  Despite some awful seasons, there haven't been any blackouts, and millions are being invested in upgrading the facility.  Doesn't sound like a team that's on the verge of moving, does it?  So, how's Manziel going to save what doesn't need saving?

 

Anytime someone comes in with the tarps or keeping the Jags in Jax angle as part of their defense, it's clear they have no idea what they're talking about. Sorry.
