This guy is awful. I usually only watch LSU so I'm used to seeing him be dominated but I've heard he actually tore everyone else up

Will you be able to sleep tonight with this thread on the SEC rant? I'm so sorry for your troubles

some skillsets don't translate to the NFL

It's not like he's the first great college player to struggle in the NFL. It's his first start ever man and he's with the Browns. Give him some time.

Evans seems to be doing fine.

Mike Evans made him look good.

Remember all those scrambles where he just blindly threw the ball up for grabs int he middle of the field?

Evans would go up and make the catch, making it a "highlight" rather than an embarrassing interception.

In the NFL his improvisation gimmick shite doesn't even come close to flying.

Manziel is 5'11 3/4 and his ceiling is 6 ft.

The same way Jamarcus Russell was?

He had a very good O line and played in a system that puts skill players in space. He ran around a lot and Mike Evans was just better than most DBs. I always thought he was a bit overrated anyways

You're nuts.
He plays for the Browns--the team whose defense didn't bother to put on its pants this morning, and whose offense is only slightly less abysmal.
The reaction to this kid from some people borders On pathological.
Give him more than one NFL half.
He's a damn good QB.

Johnny has an affinity for purple drank, sugar, and an extreme desire to not do anything?

he's not done well. granted.

but the Browns defense has done him no favors and everyone and their dog knows Manziel has to throw and throw often. The Bengals are pinning their ears back.

I'm content to let this play out.

Rushing for about 1500 yes and leading the SEC in rushing is just "running around a lot"?
Got it

Seems consistent with how LSU treated him. Like a chump.

He didn't play for the Browns for one. I don't know if you've noticed but the Browns are really bad.

LSU def had his number, but caught him at good times also..before he got rolling and when he was pretty hurt.
