I view him as the anti-Tebow. They are the same type of player but Manziel isn't the saint of Tebow.

i dont think Manziel will have the same production as he did last year. I think that all the hype and media attention has gone to his head. Last year, i think many teams were surprised by Manziel cause he was a freshman starting in TA&M first season in the SEC. i believe that teams this year would have a good scouting report on TA&M and how to contain Manziel.

I would have to agree with that rooi. The coaches in the SEC are way too smart to let him beat them again. They will adjust and really make his life tough in the SEC. It all comes down to him being able to adjust to the other teams.

I don't think he was a fluke or anything like that. I mean, he played Alabama on the 10th week of the season, and beat them. Are you telling me that Nick Saban wasn't prepared, or was surprised by someone that he's seen 9 weeks of game film on? Get outta here. I see him winning the Heisman once again, and I think he's just a college kid trying to enjoy college. If he wants to bitch, let him bitch, he's 18. We all did it. I like his so called "swagger" Good for the game

Another somewhat bad story just popped up about Johnny today on yahoo. IMO, he throw up an awful lot of red flags for draft day. His biggest obstacles are gonna be having an average arm and being only 6 foot tall. Also, he shows a little too much "swagger" at times. He is 20 years old and not showing much in terms of leadership skills or much in general intelligence. We got guys overseas right now that are 20 years old that lead others in combat so I wouldn't brush it off as a guy that is just underage and needs to mature. Let's hope he settles everything on the field with stellar performances and not be a victim to the off season.

Going back and reflecting on all of this, it is hard to blame the kid for being a 20 year old college student. That is really hard to punish a guy like that who is acting the same way we all did in college. However, I do think that he needs to do a better job of handling the fame and pressure of being a starting quarterback at a major DI university. I do think that will come with some time. It will be interesting to see the kind of season he has this year.

Well, Johnny Football is back in the news and this time he is being investigated for taking $$$ for autographs. This guy is going from loved to pariah quick.

Of course, as soon as I say something good about him, he gets investigated for this...this guy is an absolute ass clown. He is just not a smart dude.

People/media just love to stir the pot. Leave the kid alone, damn. If he took money for autographs, good he should (but thats a whole new argument on how the NCAA is a joke). Manziel is hated by people who wish their lives were like his. Just be happy for the guy

He should realize he has a huge target on his back. He needs to calm down and lay low for awhile... Not keep giving the media gasoline for the fire. He flies straight for awhile the media will lose interest to tackle other scandals. Regardless, this guy is putting up more red flags than an intoxicated driving field at the Daytona 500.

showtopp12 you have to be kidding me...that is one of the most assinine things I've ever read. There is no reason to leave the kid alone. There is no reason he should be signing autographs for money, KNOWING THAT IT IS WRONG! Regardless, if you like the NCAA rules or not, RULES are RULES and you have to follow them. People dont like Manziel because he gives people a reason to not like him. He has to be one of the dumbest athletes I have heard of. His family has more money than we will ever see, so lets sign autographs for money, knowing that it is wrong. He hangs out at a frat party in Austin (A&M biggest rival) and hes lucky he didnt get his ass kicked there. He gets blitzed at a Manning passing camp and leaves the camp early, knowing that he has obligations with that camp. Come on man. The guy deserves what he gets. The sad part is, he has all the talent in the world and could easily toss it away with the stupid decisions he makes. Stop making excuses for the guy and stop telling people to leave him alone when he keeps doing things to bring himself into the spotlight. Not smart on Manziels part.

Not one thing has been proven that gives the media any reason to badger him or throw up red flags. No facts saying he was hungover at Manning camp, He's allowed to go to parties wherever he wants (no rule against that), no facts that he's taken any money for anything... Until anything is proven, he's fine and still the best player in the country
