Manziel May Just Be The Hardest Prospect To Scout

I love Johnny Manziel and everything he stands for. He's the ideal COLLEGE athlete. He brings it on the field as best as he can, and does what he wants outside of the sidelines. He's pretty much a real-life Alex Moran from BMS. The real question is: Does Johnny have what it takes?

Mentally, he's ready. He's overcome the height and is a proven quarterback in the hardest conference in football. He has that 'wow' factor that every team looks for. He also doesn't give a fuck about anything the media has to say about him. He took off from primetime partying in NYC to train for the combine and respect that. He has his priorities straight.

I don't think he's going to be the quarterback everyone has hyped him up to be. He's good, he's fun to watch, but he's not a starting quarterback in the NFL. It's not the height, it's whenever I watch his tape from the LSU game. He was horrible. Second to last game of the season and still in BCS Bowl contention and he crumbled. He went 16-41 (39%), 224 yards, and 1TD with 2INT. Absolutely atrocious. If you're a modern-day running quarterback with question marks, these are the games you need to excel in. But then you watch the tape from the Alabama game. A&M lost 49-42, but it wasn't much of Johnny's fault. Posting 42 points in a loss is preposterous and the defense hindered Manziel all year. He threw for 464 yards on 28-38 (71%), with 5TDs and 2INT. Against the Alabama Crimson Tide! Remarkable.

He worked on his long ball accuracy in the offseason year and showed. The Aggies may have had a worse season as a team from last year, but Johnny still showed he can play. I don't know what to think about JMoney Manziel to be honest. And as much of me that wants to believe that he will great at the next level, also believes he can't. You've got me all mixed up, Johnny.
