Quote:He's on par with Doug Flutie....flash in the pan. Wait till he meets up with a NFL defensive gameplan going against players every bit as quick as him....they'll destroy the leprechaun.

 

Doug Flutie could actually play in the NFL, he just never got a legit shot to and had to go to canada.. however when he did come in from "robo QB", he always made plays.

 

He came into the league during a era when NFL teams didn't give you a chance if you didn't pass the eye test.  Russell Wilson would've been another Flutie back in those days.

 

My biggest beef with Manziel isn't even his size..   It's his attitude (the guy has a silver spoon shoved up his rear end) and his character concerns (I'm weary of a alcohol problem here).. then it's his ability or lack there of to actually be able to play in the NFL. 

 

He lacks arm strength on some of his passes, he can't avoid big hits and doesn't protect the ball when he scrambles (carries it like a loaf of bread out there), and with the way he plays he's going to be like a bug smashing against someone's windshield.  He's bails out on passing plays at the first sign of pressure to take off and run.  He won't even last to the bye week if he plays like that at the next level.  And yes, like someone else said, some of his passes are inaccurate as hell.
