***The Super Duper Swag Johnny Football teen beat thread***

Romo had 31TDs and 10 ints, and a high 90s passer rating, and multiple 4th qtr game winning drives.
Very few QBs were more productive...

Mid 90s.

Foles, Manning, McCown, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers, Wilson were more productive. You can probably add Kaepernick, Newton, Luck and/or Alex Smith if you add running yards.

Yeah, I'd probably draft Manziel if given the chance. I might even trade up to get him.

There are several reasons that I would:

1. It is the right time for Dallas to get Romo's eventual successor. Tony has one or two years left and a good, young QB could learn a lot in two years sitting behind Romo. We don't want another 5 years dead-spot where the team is trying and failing to find a leader on offense. No more Quincy Carters, Ryan Leafs, or Drew Hensons please. Just find a way to get Manziel, let him watch Tony for a couple of years and then you have the next decade wrapped up at the QB position. WELL worth a few draft picks.
2. Manziel is a dynamic player. He has "it" in spades. He simply makes good things happen for his team, and really is the heart and soul of the TAMU team that surprised a lot of people in the SEC. They shocked the world for one simple reason. Johnny Football. Whatever offense he is running is going to be exciting and successful, and Manziel will be the undisputed leader of that team. Some people just have a knack for playing football. Manziel does. He loves the game and the game loves him back.
3. The evolution of the QB position in the NFL is moving towards players like Johnny Manziel. We might as well go ahead and get one and be ahead of the curve. He can do anything you want a QB to do with his rare quickness, his speed, and his head for football.
4. The QB position is just so incredibly important. If Manziel plays as well in the pros as he does in college, he is going to be worth numerous #1 draft picks. The impact he will have on a team will be immeasurable. He will convert third down after third down with his scrambling ability, and will be a nightmare for opposing defenses for a decade.
5. He is a Texas boy that is home grown and would be immensely popular with Dallas fans. He has Moxy, charisma, is a natural leader, and would keep Dallas in the forefront of the news for the foreseeable future.

I wouldn't hesitate to nab him given half a chance.

One of the things that I like to see in a college prospect - particularly at QB - is a guy that raised the level of the players around him. Brett Favre is the poster boy for this ability. He took a below average Southern Miss football team and raised them up to a top 20 type team. It wasn't great coaching or an underrated roster that allowed that team to win. It was Brett. Period. Farve willed that team to win so many games that I lost count (I graduated from S. Miss).

Manziel does the same thing for A&M. They had no business beating Alabama last year and they shouldn't have been able to put up as many points against the Crimson Tide as they did this season. But Johnny Football willed that team to victory and almost victory against the best team in college football. Against a team so loaded with future NFL players that it is a wonder they ever lost.

There is no doubt that Johnny lifted that team well above its level and created so many difficulties for the opposition that it didn't matter that the A&M defense couldn't stop anyone from scoring.

I could go on, but I will leave it at that. Manziel is going to make some team a serious contender for the next 10 to 15 years, and I truly hope it is Dallas. I hope they find some way, any way, to get him to Valley Ranch.

Excellent analysis.

I hope Jerry trades up to draft Johnny Football. Jerry is in the entertainment business and Johnny provides entertainment. I have little hope for a Super Bowl with Jerry being the GM, but Dallas would be fun to watch.

How many Manziel threads are needed?

Mid 90s.

Foles, Manning, McCown, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers, Wilson were more productive. You can probably add Kaepernick, Newton, Luck and/or Alex Smith if you add running yards.

And how many of those guys were afraid if they made a mistake they would get pulled for the back up?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.

There needs to be a culture change and manziel can do it

 

[Fredd]

a culture change? like turning the team into a bunch of punks? no thanx...

What ARE You talking bout ?? I don't see what you trying to say ??

 

[Swaggstar1]

a culture change? like turning the team into a bunch of punks? no thanx...

The reason why I say this is because half the team already act like punks .. Lol aren't u tired of that same depressing speech from romo when some thing goes wrong

He won't make it to our pick, but you better believe Jerry would run the card up to the podium himself if he did.

Cowlishaw and Mosley had Lacewell on the other day and they asked him about Manziel... Lacewell said "I have a man crush on Johnny Football."

And we know who Jerry listens to...

BTW, heard Jackie Sherrill asked about him today. He said he thought Manziel would blow away the combine -- not his size, obviously, but the drills and the Wonderlic.

 

[crashintonickdm]

He can learn from romo over the next 1-3 years and then he can step in.

We need to start worrying about our future qb

 

[joseephuss]

I trade the pick to someone else who wants a QB. He won't be there. Some team will take a chance before that pick.

Jerry would. A football GM wouldn't.

I'd be afraid to take Manziel in the first round. Wilson has turned out great for Seattle, but the Seahawks were wise enough to not take him until the third because of the higher bust potential.

Now, maybe he just absolutely wows everyone in the leadup to the draft. If that's the case, though, he won't be there for Dallas to pick.

This is not the draft zone and the answer is no.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

If you would do that then just Trade Romo and the 1st Round Choice for the 4th Overall.

 

[xwalker]

Any chance there could be a sticky thread or a Manziel Zone for all the d-arse Manziel threads?

All of the good draft talk is going to be ruined and scroll off the page due to the Manziel threads that will continue to get more and more frequent as the draft gets closer.
