Even if Manziel's quickness is enough to keep him from getting hurt in the NFL I really think he will be a turnover machine. A few of his "miracles" may work in the NFL, but most will not. Most of his highlight reels should actually be credited to Mike Evans.Every time I watch him I see a QB not going for the easy play and forcing the harder stuff. That will not work against NFL defenses. You have to take what they give you.

yeah dude, its 22 minutes of him playing football - for you to view with your eyesdo want me to describe him in braille for you or what?
Go to draftbreakdown.com and watch every snap from every game if that 22 minute highlight isn't to your liking.
I have no idea how good of a pro he will be. I'd be very nervous about drafting him. But to say hype has elevated him from a 3rd to 4th round pick over the last two months is nonsense. Manziel threads starting popping up very early in the season. He was even discussed here frequently his freshman year.
Like every other QB in this crop, he has some serious ?'s. I like his mentality and personality ON the field, don't care for his persona off. He's a play maker, a spark, a leader of his team. Great qualities to have in a franchise QB. HOWEVER... If he doesn't put forth the work to improve his craft, he'll 'Vince Young' his way out of this league in a hurry. Staying healthy isn't a concern of mine with JF, it's staying focused and committed. IMO, the only player with more Boom/Bust potential in this draft is Clowney. If Tampa drafts him, I'll root for the kid every Sunday until I'm given a reason not to do so.

+1 to all of this. Nobody knows how good of a pro he will be. There are such heated arguments and opinions seem to be split 50/50 around the country on whether he'll be great or be a bust, because there isn't really anyone who thinks he will be middle of the road. You will either get a bust, or you will get lightning in a bottle and immediately have one of the most dynamic playmaking QBs in the history of the NFL. To me, that is a 50/50 risk worth taking every time. So while everyone has an opinion on how his game will translate and who he compares too and whether his body can hold up, ect....they are just opinions and guesses. The only fact, is that he played many of the best teams in college football and he dominated. That doesn't mean it will translate to the NFL, but that is the only real fact about Manziel. Everything else is just noise.
