Critics that say he won't be able to create plays like he did in college never mention the fact that the dude is absolutely dead eye accurate when he's on. He doesn't need to rush for 700-1000 yards like he did in college, just move in the pocket and give himself another 2-3 seconds to make a throw. His arm strength isn't drastically different than Russell Wilson's. Most people overrate arm strength in the NFL as well. A friend of mine is on the Patriots and he has said that he has rarely ever seen Brady throw over 25 yards, however 25 yards and in he can drop in on a dime.

I don't know if I'd take him top 5, but that being said nobody pays me shite to scout NFL talent either. Regardless I think Johnny will be very successful in the NFL as long as he doesn't go to the Browns or Raiders.

I never understood the "he wont get away with that in the NFL" argument. Why the hell not? Fran Tarkenton did, Randall Cunningham did, Colin Kaepernick does currently, etc.

Manziel is going to run for lots of yards in the NFL just like he did in college.
