Please point me to clips of Manziel making NFL-quality throws on a rope and beating coverages. Not being sarcastic here, I just don't think he's of that caliber of a player.

He is going to get better but QB's that try and win with their feet are going to lose their favor for the same reason why they always do:

People act like running QB's have never seen success in the league before. If you cannot develop your game into a pocket passer where the rules protect you, your career life expectancy is little better than a RB. Given pay scales and how the CBA handles them especially teams cannot invest in players like that.

Tap the brakes on Manziel. He has played one year, lets see what he does next season when teams are keying in on him. There are a lot of great college QB's that don't amount to anything at the pro level.

Personally, I don't see him as a great NFL prospect, yet anyways. As of now, he is not close to Luck as to being NFL ready, he may never be.

If he comes out next year, Cowboys will not get him. If he waits until his Jr year and Romo still has not got us to the playoffs, then it might be time to talk trade up to get him IMO.

I'd rather not bet the farm on him and he turns out to be nothing special.

Whew....thanks for the support here for Johnny Football....was beginning to believe I was the only one seeing through the fog.

I remember Coach Ditka trading his entire draft for a #1 pick.....Zoners I am ready to do just that--really

Weren't you the one who thought Tony Romo was the best Cowboys QB *ever* just last season, CC?

Heard the "winner" "best player in football" "it factor" from Florida homers about Tebow.

Funny thing about Tebow, isnt he the only Heisman winning QB to win a playoff game?
Holy cow you guys are killin' me.

Am I the only one who looks at that highlight video and sees a lot of similarities with Romo? except Manziel doesn't look for the pass once he starts scrambling and he doesn't seem to have the arm strength the Romo does.

Clowney is going to be the first pick regardless if Johnny football comes out. My guess is he stays at ATM and does not come out next year.

This question tells a lot. Uhhhhhhhhhh I think there was a guy named ROGER STAUBACH that won a playoff game or two. Sheeez.

I hate to say this, but after losing for so long what is one more year? My Cowboys have got me kind of numb to losing now-a-days.

Anyhow, I almost could put up with one more BAD season if it puts us in position to draft the most exciting player I have ever seen.

I watched this player two years in High School live and then enjoyed last year as he won the big trophy.

This kid is special......if you do not believe me.....click the link below:

You may get your wish, if the Cowboys don't make the playoffs this year how long until Jerry goes in a different direction. IMO Jerry resign Tony because he really didn't have any other option, Johnny Football in the draft, gives him another option.

Will not happen......he has the "it" factor times 2.......just a special talent.

He is as fast as he is quick......it was so much fun watching him in High School......wish EVERYONE of you could of seen him

The future is unknown. That is only thing that happens.

Jerry would love this pick, it will bring the media attention he needs, but not the wins. This guy has Tim Tebow written all over him, pass.
