Yes, a freshman with only 2 games under his belt, still very early. But watching him against UF and seeing his stats from SMU game he's impressive. A bit impetuous and gambling he looked to me to have all the talent in the world plus a natural leader on the field. Fast with a good arm and quick release he can thrive in the SEC with appropriate supporting personnel. Again it's early and I might be wrong but he may become a Heisman caliber QB from the conference in a year or two.

Unfortunately, yes..he will be a good one

I sure hope so, he still has a lot of maturing to do as far as pocket presence and things like that

He'll be a good 'un if he can stay healthy. All that running around makes me nervous but damn he's fun to watch.

Also has 184 rushing yards...
and I don't think anyone expects him to run wild and beat LSU or Bama, but he did run pretty damn good in the first half against the UF defense which is just as fast as any other SEC defense. He will improve as the season goes along, and hopefully won't have to run so much.

He's the next Jared Lorenzo.

With only two games down, Manziel is a work in progress.
A really athletic and fearless work in progress, with a solid college arm, but still has lots to improve.
I did notice him staying in the pocket when he had time. I still haven't noticed him hitting his 3rd progression WR.
But he's a Freshman. I expected less, am happy with what I've seen, and excited about the future.

He is going to absolutely kill our defense.

Dude is a player and A&M is fortunate due to the fact he will be their for 4 yrs. They will have to worry about an injury due to his running.
Would love to have him on our team--looks like he enjoys the competition.

Looks good so far, just have to wait and see what his numbers are at the end of the year after he has a full SEC schedule under his belt.

He needs to improve on his accuracy, his pocket presence, and progressing through his reads.
He has incredible athletic ability, but 2 or 3 of our touchdowns against SMU don't even come close to happening against SEC defenses. He needs to be able to compliment his play-making ability with an ability to lead steady, long drives that don't need ridiculous plays by him to succeed. IF he can do that, he's going to be special to say the least.

YPA - 7.08
That's TERRIBLE for any variant of the Air-Raid. 235 yards/game is also somewhat low especially considering the competition they've gone up against-admittedly UF is good but SMU is several rungs beneath them on the ladder.
You can say that its a bit of a combination of youth & program installation, along with personnel adjustments and a flat out lack of personnel.
I think he'll be a very good SEC QB. He'll probably stay 4 years because Air-Raiders typically have issues w/credibility in terms of their evaluations by pros.
A&M HAS to get that YPA up though. That offense isn't designed to produce that metric and win consistently.

Yes...and a blast to watch. I'm making a point to watch A&M games only because of him
