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.

UF will be a force to contend with for the future, Boom has done so much in just two years....taking a finesse spread offense and installing a power pro type run game. He is a coach that is defensive minded and has the players all buying in....very down to earth. The SEC is in for a rude awakening...but lets face it, the SEC is getting tougher and going through the SEC gauntlet unscatched will be difficult.

Manziel is a fantastic college qb and Id vote him for Heisman winnner in a heartbeat. But Heisman winners dont always pan out in the pros. UF's Wuerffel was drafted in 4th round as I recall the year he won the Heisman. I just dont think Manziel has the tangibles to be pro qb, the height and arm strength arent there.
