Something else no one is talking about

I say only if he's injury prone.  And he will be if they don't reign him in on all the scrambling.  As far as arm strength, accuracy and awareness, this guy is the total package.

Not saying JFF is going to be a franchise QB.  But worse than Tebow???  Nurra, pleeze.

Tebow won a playoff game.  Just saying.

TAMU's defense was pretty young this year too - kind of like us on OL last year.  They will be improved next year just by having experience.  If they had JFF and year two of this defense they would be good next year.

But TAMU will be all one or the other for a while - maybe D is better next year but with JFF and Evans gone, their offense sucks. 

They are Miss State with a different dog.

He beat Joe Louis' ass...

[WiregrassTiger]

I say the Johnny has two maybe 3 fantabulous seasons then fades away. I don't think he'll have the success that Cam will.

I def see him having more success than Tebow. He'll at least make a roster as a back-up.

But their d has been turrible going back to Sherman's last year.

Just saying:

Aggie head coach Kevin Sumlin was forced to go with a youth movement on defense in 2013 because of injuries and an overall lack of depth. The Aggies played 10 true freshmen on defense and special teams in 2013.

Maybe it was coaching in 2012, maybe it was youth in 2013.  You cannot deny that playing 10 true freshmen was not a handicap.

Next season, no excuses.  But I predict their D will have improved and their offense gonna suck.  So either way, it's a push, and they are right back down in the cellar where they belong.

[Saniflush]

Their D is not going to improve enough to offset what they lose in scoring with Johnny Douchebag.

Look at a few QB's in the playoffs this weekend.  NO and Seattle have QB's that might go 5'10.  Brees has set all kinds of records during a long career.  Russell Wilson was a scrambling, make-something-happen player with an okay arm.  Got him playing within the offense....he seems to be doing fine.  Thug Newton and Colin Klaperdink are two that made their living running around and making shit happen. Both have been reigned in, to an extent, and are having great success playing within the offense. 

I agree that I'd like to see them take the governor off Newton.  It'd be more exciting, but I also think he'd wind up going all Vick/RGXXXXIIIV and his career shortened.  To me, I think Manziel is sharp enough and has all the tools that if he gets in the right system with coaches that will keep him somewhat in check, he could make a decent NFL QB.  You can't take away all the man's creativity, but you can't let him go full tard every play either.  In the NFL, that results in pavement pizza.

Clint?

Clint?

Chris Todd went full tard.  Clint went fetal.

a&m with Johnny foosball: 9-4
a&m without Johnny foosball: 9-4
a&m without Johnny foosball AND Mike Evans: 5-7

Corrected

Manziel has an ok arm and his legs and peripheral vision make his game a great ticket on a 4-12 team. I still think long term he would do better to go CFL and try to cash in like Dieter-Brock or Warner with a better NFL team in three years or so but that's not going to happen. I doubt he will have the durability to play more than three or four seasons running for his life.

They have been recruiting a helluva lot of defensive players and should improve some there. And without Johnny's ad lib style they didn't display a stout run game to build around a mortal QB.
