On the Herd while talking to Mel Kiper, Colin said a "trusted source" he knows got the word from Jerry himself. Jerry said JFF is the best player in the draft. Colin also said even if Jerry had a few, its like truth serum. He presented it as if its more than just a rumor and Jerry loves the guy.

Man, the draft cannot get here soon enough!

This is BS. I'm calling it now. I can say with 100% assurances that BP already knows Karate.

Reportedly Jerry was hammered when he said it, so it must be true.

The real Jethro appears when the alcohol appears.

Yep, we've seen it in the past.

If Booger really feels that way about Johnny, he'll be a Cowboy if he's there at 16.

Poor little Johnny Boy slides and slides till pick 16, and the Kool Aid Kid cannot contain his excitement. I can picture it now...

Reports are that Stephen Jones has started spiking Jerry's drink with sedatives prior to the start of the draft. Apparently he used a slower reacting sedative in 2012 and Jerry was still awake when the Rams called about trading up for #6.

I doubt he said it when sober. lol

Anyway, Jerry is the tie-breaker with final say. If the scouting dept and coaching staff don't think as highly (or very closely as highly) of Manziel as he does, this is irrelevant.

I'm sure that nobody in the media would make things up.

Cowherd said himself that he prays for the Cowboys to draft Manziel because it makes his job easier and more fun. He said it would create endless talking points.

I think this is true but I also think that both points being discussed can be true. Cowherd is being honest when he says this but I think that Jerry is also.

I know that Jerry did respond to a direct question about Johnny. If they had asked about Clowney he would probably say the same thing.

All those radio hacks would love it.

Every time Romo would have 2 incompletions in a row the DFW media would be in QB controversy mode. And you know they would pray for Romo int's.

That's the problem with taking Manziel IMO. The pressure, on all sides, would be huge. You don't just think about the pressure for Manziel but also the pressure for Romo and the coaching staff.

A circus that Jerry and the mediots would absolutely love. And thats why Roger said he wouldnt draft JFF for this team since we have Romo, even tho he spoke highly of JFF as an NFL QB prospect.

production wise how can you argue with that? what QB has put up better numbers then him? He plays QB thats the top spot. Im sure alot of GMs feel this way. He's not the guy with the best size, but in terms of playing the game there is no player in this draft thats done more than Manziel. Maybe ony Zack Martin. Martin has been the rock of the Notre Dame OL for 4 yrs. If he was a little taler he would be the first overall pick and probably be the best OL to come out in a very long time
