I'm sure we could pretend it would take him two years to lean our play book, but fact is that kid is magic.

While watching him tonight, I was wondering the same thing:
how could it take a bright guy like Hogan so long to learn our playbook if Johnny Manziel learned his so quickly? Is ours that much more complicated than A and M's? Color me skeptical. If you listen to the way he talks, you can tell he processes info extremely quickly.

A JOY TO WATCH. GREAT FEET AND AN ACCURATE CANNON. GREAT FEEL AND INSTINCTS.

Wasn't Johnny at Texas A&M 3 semesters before playing. Didn't he just finish two years at Texas A&M?

born to play the game
turns out he's one helluva lot more than just hype and a clever contrived nickname... the real deal
great field awareness and vision, smart, fast, shifty, wiry-tough and a combo cannon-sniper's rifle for an arm...

He is the most exciting guy I've seen this year. All kinds of talents and his ability to escape a closing pocket is phenomenal. One thing, though....his long passes look like they have a bit of rainbow to them. Sort of hard to tell on TV. Anybody else?

The ones I saw benefitted from their "rainbows"; got
just beyond defender's grasp. Had they been more on a straight line, they'd have been knocked down. He threw several ropes to the sidelines for 10 yard gains too.

you people are morons
Absolutely ridiculous none of you have given any credit to Sumlin, who is in rare company among FBS coaches in terms of offensive coaching talent.
Manziel is a talent, but Shaw could keep the reins on him.

Oregon got scared off of him - can only imagine what that would entail

Oregon got scared off of him?.
He gave a verbal to the Ducks, and shortly thereafter turned around and changed it to A & M. Are you saying the Ducks reneged on the offer?

Didn't realize you needed a point to call someone a moron.

He's a junior in class standing. One more year and then off to the new read option NFL.

Re: This is Thunderdome
He's going to owe Russell Wilson many millions of dollars. Used to be that 6'1" QB's didn't get drafted very high. Now that someone my height (5'11" but not quite the athleticism or arm strength of Wilson) can lead his team to the second round of the playoffs, Manziel will be taken pretty high.

BC Are you saying Johnny Football doesn't have Wilson's athleticism, or are you saying you don't have it? I don't recall Wilson making half the athletic plays Manziel makes.
