I question whether he survives to the NFL. The guy has had quite a few injuries. I don't think he's injury prone, but he takes a lot of hits, and Manziel is not a big guy who can absorb a lot of punishment. Admittedly, I don't know much about the A&M Oline, but I haven't seen or heard anything to convince me they will be any better. Couple that with the fact that he is most dangerous when moving around and extending plays (which opens him up to more and bigger hits), and you get a recipe for disaster. He needs to get to the NFL pronto.
But yes, I do think he is possibly the most statistically (from a yardage standpoint) impressive player, at least in recent history. However, I do think he should carry more of the "system QB" stigma that guys from programs like Houston have garnered where they rack up tons of yards because they throw so often. That's not a shot at his abilities because he is a really good (probably great) QB, but the numbers are at least a little inflated.

FWIW, I think he goes to the NFL. But:
You do remember he was the SEC's leading rusher last year, right?
LSU degenerates may be right - he might not beat them next year, either. Or the year after that. Chavis seems to have it figured out. Trying my best to be objective, I'd love to see him come back because he's just so much fun to watch.
