I think they are similar, but Archie was stonger and broke more tackles. I also think he was a better passer than JFF; and also a better leader in that he never let his emotions affect his play. His will to win was second to none.

I don't think JFF's game will translate to the NFL as well as Archie's.

Archie=stronger

Manziel=more elusive

Pros and cons to each, but both players were and are devastating with their respective strengths.

Debatable.

When have Manziel's emotions negatively affected his play? If nothing else JFF's competitiveness is what makes him most dangerous. The bigger the chip on his shoulder, the better he plays. You talk about Archie's will to win and I don't doubt it for a second. But everyone who's worked with JFF speaks just as glowingly of his drive to win, as well.

Debatable, again.

But what isn't debatable is that Archie was ahead of his time and played against lesser athletes than Manziel. JFF doing it in this day and age is as astonishing as Archie doing what most hadn't seen before and couldn't keep up with.
