Wade Wilson "Impressed" by Johnny Manziel's Pro Day

[visionary]

Some see greatness by wearing pads and a helmet I see an attention *****. Whoever drafts this head case is gonna see plenty of headlines...all bad.

Strip clubs, paternity suits, DUIs and whatever else this diva thinks he is entitled to.

this is certainly possible

 

[Bleu Star]

I don't think we'll do that either.

I believe we will grab a QB in the later rounds. VT Hokie

 

[Bleu Star]

He has just as much arm talent as anybody else in this draft and he proved that. My point was that Wilson liking what he saw in Manziel is the equivalent to writing a story saying that Marinelli likes Clowney. Not exactly hard pressing journalism


Anybody else see Manziel on Gruden's QB camp? The kid definitely knows football and how to say all the right things.

Just out of curiosty, what would a guy by the name of Johnny Manziel have to do in order to impress you? Move mountains in his bare feet?

He has the strongest arm of the top qbs (depending on how you see Carr). He has the most accurate arm. He has the best mobility. He's the most competitive. He had the best college career.

I just see Roger when I see him. What was it Dan Reeves said about Staubach, that no matter what they were playing that Roger was so competitive that he was always on the winning team? That's what I see with Manziel.

He's a star with swagger. I like that. And if you want to see quarterbacks who liked to party, you should head to the Hall of Fame. It's filled with them.

If he gets to 6 we should definitely consider trading up, IMO.

This is surely plausible but the flip side is the immense potential you have in him. Like most guys at his age, he has a little growing to do but don't let that cloud our judgment of his talent and potential to excel at the next level. Dez seems to be doing alright. (Knock on wood)

Great post chock full of perspective.

He appeared like a decent kid on Gruden's show. You can tell he likes to play and is honestly competitive.

Please no.

 

[Bleu Star]

Please no.

Lol.

 

[KB1122]

Right, why would we take him at #16? We have Romo.

Forever.

I don't understand what you're asking. I like Manziel more than most people.

My apologies for implying anything otherwise.

 

[Bleu Star]

Forever.

Right. Let's wait until he is in his rocking chair before we plan for the future.

 

[Bleu Star]

I took this article fwiw. If the title was "Stephen Jones impressed..." then I would have taken it with a much larger grain of salt.

For the record, I like Manziel, Bortles, and that late round QB from VT.

My apologies for implying anything otherwise.

Yeah you got the wrong guy, I actually own a Manziel A&M jersey lol. My point was that obviously Manziel is good and why wouldn't Wilson be impressed.

 

[Sasquatch]

Very much appreciated this. Excellent accompaniment to the morning cup o'joe.

 

[EST_1986]

Dont like him. Comes across as a complete ####

We need those QBs who thinks losing isn't a big deal. I'd hate to have a QB like Manziel who is passionate about winning.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

if bridgewater falls, we better take him.

let someone else take manziel who wont amount to jack in the nfl

 

[reddyuta]

Sounds like a perfect Jones family ******** idea.

I think you need a fairly recent person to compare him too. To say, QBs who party, are in the HOF is really not a comparable. When did the play, the 80, 90? Pre salary cap, post? Different time periods. With his size, if you want to compare him to Brees, ok. Caepernick, Wilson? When you look to draft someone, you have to be able to compare him to another player, to see what you are going to get, unless he revolutionizes the positions, like an LT at the LB spot. What I see out of Johnny Football, is someone who likes to take off, which I do not like, I like pocket QBs. I see a person, who got kicked out of Peyton Mannings camp(If I remember correctly), someone who likes to party, someone who is the big man on campus, without doing anything in the NFL. No thanks.
