Kelly the Dog Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 I get a hard time for not loving him but yup. There are reasons he was low rated coming out of HS. Fun player but nfl transition has a lot of questions. I enjoy watching him though. I don't know why he would be low rated coming out of high school though. None of his shortcomings are shortcomings in the college game. Sure he is not prototype size, so maybe as a pure recruit he went down a few notches. But you can be great in college like that. Good notes that he has size 15 shoes and the big hands. That could mean he will grow. Quote

stevestojan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Ron Johnson...Is that the last QB we've had that could actually complete a pass like that? Quote

No denying he is a hell of a college player and colleges would rather have him over almost every other top rated high school prospect. Edited January 5, 2013 by buffaloboyinATL Quote

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Good notes that he has size 15 shoes and the big hands. That could mean he will grow. Not only that. It would explain his ability to master the football even on plays where he exhibits unorthodox mechanics. Besides their height, Manziel couldn't be more different than Drew Brees but one thing which is a great equalizer for Brees is his 10.5" hands. If Manziel has big paws that's promising even if he doesn't get taller. Quote

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I have no worries about Jones as I have seen him make all the throws and come back multiple times. He will actually do better in the NFL as he will actually have a running game and a OC who knows how to call a game. Quote
BringBackFergy Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I think it was the 3rd TD pass..Manziel threw it to the WR on a slant over the middle and had no problem getting the ball through the D Line...I honestly don't see an issue with size Kelly. Quote

It was a great pass. In college you can get away with that throw. In the pros, often not. Quote
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Let Jones air it out for the love of God. No those Morons would rather run now when it's over, maybe if they tried that earlier they wouldn't be so down. Plus their run attack consist mostly of draws and fly sweeps, i'ts really one of the worst run designs I have ever seen, it's amazing that Jones has done as well as he has. Quote
BringBackFergy Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 He does choose to throw to the perimeter more than over the middle so size may be relevant but he seems to compensate for it right now by mixing it up.. Quote
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Do you still insist he's a first round pick? yep, one mediocre game doesn't take away from the rest of the seasson. this offensive design is simply horrible and he will flourish with a pro style Offense. Quote
Joe Miner Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 yep, one mediocre game doesn't take away from the rest of the seasson. this offensive design is simply horrible and he will flourish with a pro style Offense. He's had 0 experience in a pro style offense. Keep talking out your ass. Quote
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Stoops has been in Norman forever. Isn't this the same offense that Bradford won the Heisman with as a redshirt freshman? Quote

No denying he is a hell of a college player and colleges would rather have him over almost every other top rated high school prospect. Right - discussing a red shirt freshman qb, mentioning his rivals or espn rankings coming out of HS is absurd. Please forgive. I don't follow them closely but I know a few people that are big into it and discussed him a bit more than most freshman qbs I could sound off on. Being an SEC addition he got some attention down here. The kids had a hell of a season. He's got some stuff that is likely to hold him back long term in my opinion - that's all.
