Anyone old enough to remember Charlie Ward at Florida State?

That's an interesting comparison. I was too young to see him live, just remember him in the NBA. Manziel is that kind of athlete, I just hope he turns out as good as Ward was.

Charlie Ward! Excellent comparison 
Of course, my favorite memories of Ward were of his New York Knickerbockers falling in the '99 Finals to my Spurs, but when Ward actually did a stint in SA in the twilight of his career, I went back and watched a ton of his FSU highlights. Hell of an athlete--if Manziel can even become a poor man's version of him I'll be a very happy camper

I'm most definitely old enough; though I'm not sure I agree w the comparison.
Manziel reminds me so much of Bucky Richardson, it's ridiculous.

I've been on this bandwagon as well. Another good comp is Kevin Murray before he broke his ankle but that really predates a lot of folks. The tough thing to find in a comp is someone as fast as he is (low 4.4s) with moves and really a pass first QB.
Bucky had attitude in common with JFF but that's about it. Bucky was an LB playing QB and every time he threw the ball you held your breath. Running the option though Bucky was a beast. Have his autograph on my 12th Man Towel.
