Peyton Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 No offense but I hate when people use YouTube highlights. When have you ever seen a YouTube video that makes a player look badDid you watch the video? It's not highlights, it is just one play that shows his will to win. He's not even playing QB in the play nor does he even touch the ball on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nole9782 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 There is one huge difference. Romo fears the big moment. Manziel lives for it.I wanted to kind of make fun of you. Thinking you can get in these guy's heads. But you can kind of see it can't you? You might be wrong. But I actually know what you mean. I think you might have nailed this.But Manziel is still at least as dumb as Romo. And I don't think as good character. I could never trust having that guy on my time. He's like Tony Romo (wreckless on the field), Matt Leinart (party boy), Ryan Leif all rolled into one. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioisCoolio Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 ok dude whatever you say lolHow many players has Barry Switzer called 'an arrogant little prick'?To say that other players are at the same level of arrogance as Manziel is absurd.

They love a guy who is living for the moment.that wont work in the NFL yet for him. He will have to earn his respect by the vets. I can tell you that right now.

shockerfalcon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Did you watch the video? It's not highlights, it is just one play that shows his will to win. He's not even playing QB in the play nor does he even touch the ball on offense.Yes I watched it but I stand by my comment. It's one of many that only show the good things he does. To say that this is what he's about with out showing the bad to compare the good against is pointless to me. If I wasn't on my phone I'd show you a video of Merrill Hodge breaking down a few bad plays by Manziel. I'm no QB expert but even I was thinking what is this guy seeing to make that decision?

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think you are overanalyzing just a bit. If you did the same thing you are doing to any college QB, you would come out of it thinking they were going to be a turnover machine.You certainly would not have drafted Matt Ryan.I dont think you can over analyze, TBH. Look, maybe he just had a bad game. You never draw conclusions on a player from any one or two games. But the issues I see across the 4-6 games I've watched were on full display against LSU. Typically, I see a handful of decisions in any Manziel game that makes me shake my head. But they always seem to come in the same situation....a situation that he's going to see a ton more in the NFL...pressure. His response to pressure, regardless of where it comes from or how real it is, is to drop his eyes, focus on the defender(s) and try to run away. Sometimes he gets free and delivers a **** of a ball. But often, he hesitates, attempts to run away and, if he doesnt find a running lane, throws the ball up for grabs. Not always into a pack but always just lays it out there.I see the talent...but I see the downside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manziel lives for it.I dont think Romo fears the moment in the slightest bit. I think he's an erratic QB that succeeds in many moments but will ALWAYS eventually **** out and give everyone more fuel for the fire.

They love a guy who is living for the moment.And all that was clearly planned and rehearsed. Why do you think he pushed his workout back? You do know that the school had its official pro day on March 5th. The planning and pageantry is too over the top for me and makes me question if he is truly as talented as people make him out to be why all the gimmicks? Seems like the goal is more to be the #1 pick than to just play in the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it was a strange decision to throw without the glove he normally uses. I still think he'll end up being the best pro of the three.
