re: The next Johnny Manziel

Last year at the State Championship he was wearing an A&M bracelet and his Dad named him "Kyler" after Kyle Field. That said, he isn't an A&M lock because he will literally have offers from everyone before all is said and done. If he goes elsewhere though it would be as painful for Ags as Peyton going to UT though.

His game is actually not really like JFF's. He does a lot of Read Option and that isn't Johnny's game. He is much further advanced as a passer than Johnny was at his age which is likely because his Dad is not only a former QB but one of the top QB coaches in the country and it shows with Kyler. There are a lot of college QB's that aren't anywhere as close to refined as he is. He's more like RGIII in a lot of ways than JFF.

He does need to put on some weight and hopefully he will grow another couple of inches. He only turned 16 in August. If he was a little bigger he would be the consensus #1 prospect in 2015 in all likelihood, his resume is essentially perfect. 2 Straight Titles and MVP's leading what is arguably the best HS program in the country and playing in a stadium that is better than most FCS schools. Here is a pic:



He will be as prepared for college football as anyone has ever been. Doesn't mean he will succeed but certainly he is as safe of a bet as you can make. He has only lost 1 game in 2 years playing at the highest level of Texas HS football and this year playing the toughest schedule.

The irony is his most impressive game was not the Championship, it was the week before against Desoto. Crap weather with a wind that made his passing game almost impossible and his team was down by 15 in the 4th. He leads them to a win by rushing for a 24 yard TD with 11 seconds left. Kid isn't just a talent, he's a winner just like his Dad.

Kid is just fun to watch.
