Is Tua Johnny Manziel 2.0?

[FireChans]

Let’s look at the facts. Both players benefitted from STAR OT’s in college. Both players benefitted from STAR WR’s. Tua has even better players than Johnny.

 

If the Emperor loses his clothes, is he really just a Johnny Manziel without the cool nickname?

[MJS]

Let's hope. But I think Manziel's problem was his own mind rather than a lack of talent.

Interesting point. I think that *barreled over by Bama fans*

[MassHog]

From any report I have ever seen of Tua, everyone says he is a really great guy. So no, he is not Manziel 2.0

Well said.  Manziel was a head case and his own worst enemy.  Just one dumb thing after another.

Tua is not a party boy who is going to waste his career. But he may be a brittle lump of dust under the Bills D.

I do not see Tua ending up like Manziel.  If anything I could a see career path like Bradford or Locker where injuries shorten or derail the career.

[BullBuchanan]

He's Manziel with a glass body.

How do we know how Tua will react living in South Beach? Without his overbearing Dad to make his decisions for him, he could go wild there. Add in the 13 on the Wonderlic, and there's at least some risk that this could end up like Marinovich.

Absolutely not. Tua can actually read a defense, look off defenders, and is the exact opposite character wise.

There will only ever be one other Johnny Manziel and that's Billy Vegas

Manziel wasnt a professional.  He partied his way out of the league.  Tua wont do that imo.  Maybe he gets hurt, most likley he is a hard worker and becomes a good player.  Manziel was all potential no work ethic. 

[TroutDog]

There is no comparison, in my opinion. The writing was on the wall with Johnny ‘$’. That was never Tua. He’s a team guy and isn’t made of glass: he always played to win a’la Josh...not a bad thing.

I don’t see it. Tua is sober and a committed student of the game where as Johnny football was hammered and didn’t bother showing up for film sessions. 

[gonzo1105]

I don’t think he’s elite. It helps having 3 NFL WRs and an offensive line and he still couldn’t stay healthy. He’s a good prospect but I have a lot of questions about him too

Manziel was a total piece of garbage in college. I thought it was clear back then, he had a high bust  factor. One thing I always ask is, "how will this guy handle a crapload of money and freedom?" I thought Manziel was likely to handle it badly. There is nothing about Tua to suggest he is in that same category. 

[TheBeaneBandit]

Tua is already ahead just by not being a POS human being.

[Chicken Boo]

Bills fans worried about Tua already?
