Manziel should never have been a frp. Everyone I know who knew him at A&M knew exactly who he was and how his attitude, work ethic, etc. would translate to the NFL. It wouldn’t.

When he came out, I just prayed that my team wouldn't draft him. He was about as guaranteed to be a bust as I've ever seen.

"When he came out" made me think I'd missed a headline about Manziel's off-field relationships.

He also got carried by his WRs. Mike Evan’s could catch anything thrown his way and is a hall of famer.

This is something I rarely saw and never understood, the WRs were absolutely amazing and never got the credit they deserved

Also the receivers didn’t have a nifty little “money” sign they did as a signature

So cringe

Johnny wasn't even particularly talented as a QB. Average arm, average accuracy, bad at reading defenses. But he was really good at maneuvering the pocket to buy time. All to just toss 10 jump balls to Mike Evans all game.

Spot on. I was at the auburn game at ATM and had to ask the guys next to me who Evans was. Everyone around acknowledged that he made Manziel look good.
