For every decent play he makes I can give you one where he threw it poorly and was bailed out by his wide receivers. I drank the koolaid last year but this year? I've seen so many terrible, horrendous throws that were turned into positives because of his wide receivers bailing him out. The GIF above is just one of the many.
Are you trolling? Again, the GIF above was a brilliant play. It was third and long from just outside FG range.
Manziel is completing like 75% of his throws this year, and he really doesn't throw much short stuff. Dude has fantastic accuracy.

Brilliant because he scrambled, or because his receiver in the midst of five defenders bailed him out? I'm not denying he makes plays, you don't put up numbers like that without doing it but you also can't deny that there are tons of bad throws he makes that with a worse receiving corps in no way would be completed.

That play displayed his great allusivness which I am by no means stripping him of but you cannot convince me that the throw was anything short of luck. Sure he had an idea that there was a receiver in the area and he knew he had to get rid of the ball. He also knew that if he did throw a pick on that 3rd down it would most likely be no different than a punt. I'm not saying it wasn't a great play and under the circumstance to beat a team like Alabama those are the plays you have to make but come on....

No, he threw it up for grabs off his back foot into a crowd and was LUCKY it wasn't picked or fell incomplete. How you can call that play anything other than lucky is beyond me. He's made a lot of great plays, but that particular one was all luck.
