The op basically said there are some similarities between the way Archie Manning played and JFF plays. Apparently, some TAMU fans interpret that as blasphemy against JFF, who can't wait to leave College Station.


The first response to this thread was someone butthurt the other way around (blasphemy that JFF can be compared to Manning).

AMU fans, how much of your opinion of Archie Manning is related to the fact that he wouldn't let JFF show up late at the Manning Passing Academy? I thought Archie handled that pretty tactfully. Will JFF smite you if you praise any other QB in history, or is his divine wrath solely directed toward people who make him face consequences for his spoiled brat behavior?



Personally IDGAF about the Manning Passing Academy incident. Of any of the gaffes in the last offseason, Manziel's dismissal from the Academy was probably his lowest point, IMO. But I thought both parties handled it with tact and have since moved on. My opinion of the Mannings and JFF is uncolored by said incident.

I enjoy football, and I think it's cool to see that Archie was basically JFF before JFF. Really fascinating. They're both incredible quarterbacks, and despite what you obviously have made up your mind about regarding Manziel, appear to both be very decent, genuine people.

It'd be nice to get past all the damn trolling and give both their due, but that's probably asking for too much in this forum.

Their upbringing couldn't be more different. I think that has some impact on how people interact with others. Wright Thompson's article didn't do Johnny or Paul Manziel any favors. Even so, I haven't made up my mind about who Manziel is as a person. His behavior doesn't define who he is, but it's the only insight any outsider can have. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in a lot of ways, because he's in a unique situation, and he is still pretty young.
