Am I crazy to think that this year will be Manziel's best year?? I mean knowing how he runs the offense, wouldn't the best d-coordinators know how to better attack his style of play?? Don't get me wrong, he is an excellent QB, and has really showed his athletic ability in extending plays and running the football. I know you won't be able to shut him down, but containing and making JM throw consistently to beat you seems like a better alternative. I'm kinda thinking like the Gus Malzhan run, the first time teams played that system, that offense was hard to play against...then when teams catch on to what you do, the best defenses can better gameplan for success.

I think this is nothing but a reasonable assumption and a possibility yes, but you also have to take into consideration that Kingsbury and Sumlin will not be static and are going to consider this too and will be developing JFF's passing game, which is not shabby at all now. This along with his running threat is what makes him hard to defend.
Making JFF make mistakes is the key.

Defenses will adjust, yes. But what happens when JFF is able to read defenses BEFORE the snap. You think this offense is up tempo now? Wait until there is no "check with me" before every play. This offense still has training wheels attached to it. That is what is scary!!

I think Manziel will get attacked with more blitzes next year. Alabama didn't have success against him until they pinned their ears back and forced the issue. The first quarter Alabama just rushed 3 or 4 and played a lot of zone, Manziel basically ran around until shite broke down in the back end and it bit Bama in the arse.

I think it will be too, but for different reasons.
I think that Manziel's numbers will drop with the emergence of Brandon Williams at RB next year. If you noticed last night, #2 didn't score his first touchdown until after we took a 21-0 lead. Christine Michael went nuts in the first quarter. Brandon Williams is better than Michael and will only be a sophomore next year.
