Nothing can be taken away from his college career despite his actions in the pros. He definitely had great players around him, but he was a terrific runner and could make unreal throws (back across the body, etc).

Except all the trouble he got in in college😂😂😂 he was amazing.

[@SaltyChip]

Those across the body throws don’t and never work in the nfl, especially with these lb’s running around like DBs.

[@ThisJustin34]

SLITHERx CONJURING problem is his off the field issues really wasn't why he was under performing in the NFL. Jonny knew how to run and make plays when the pocket collapsed that's all he knew. He was never a pocket passer. He barely studied defenses because he didn't have too he made all his plays on the run that's all he knew. Excellent college player could have been a decent NFL player with the proper education and work ethic. He was a star he was popular. He cared more for the fame than anything. I can name 50 reasons why Manziel didn't make it in pro level without going into his off the field issues.

[@brendanmccormick8043]

More like all he needed were some receivers and an offensive line. The dude won them more games in his season there than they have now in 2 years.

[@NVRAMboi]

Generational collegiate player and one of the finest/jaw-dropping individual performances I've ever witnessed (same for Mike Evans and Ryan Swope that day). Johnny was on another planet. We lost this game but we never quit and we learned a lot about the future - and what college football was going to look like. It's turned out pretty well. Roll Tide.

[@DRT_Music]

This was Johnny Manziel's playbook. 1. Find Mike Evans 2.Run

[@DRT_Music]

Which explains Johnny Maziel's success. He wouldn't be "Johnny Football" without Evans.

[@matamichael79]

Femi Daniel then why did he have that nickname before playing a single down of college football?

[@DRT_Music]

Most of the United States of America had no idea who he was until he played. Lets be serious. That name would be irrelevant if he didnt explode his freshman year. Don't be technical.

[@DRT_Music]

You didn't read my statement correctly, I said IF he didn't, obviously he did. BTW, take way Mike Evans' production and deduct it from Johnny's, you have a 3rd round QB at best, and that's why he slid to the Browns.

[@MrBrranch]

"The only reason Peyton and Tom complete passes are because people catch what's thrown to them." Your logic.

[@jakev4191]

[@HenrySosenite]

Agreed. The awesome thing about Manziel in that game was that a lot of his best throws & runs came more than 5 seconds after the ball was snapped, after he got under pressure and found a way out of it. That might be the key to beating Alabama, and yet neither team really has a way to plan for it.

[@jmua8450]

Great player....shows what type of team Alabama has to fall down 20-0 to this guy and still have a chance to win at the end.

[@KyleCagle3]

Amazing to see how much he has progressed over 1 year. In 2012 he was run first and always looked to find an open lane. 2013 he stayed in the pocket more and only ran when he needed to or he saw a huge lane. Say what you want but he will be a solid QB in the NFL

[@alabamacat6339]

I say he wasn't

[@timlin2980]

Solid with cocaine eh? hahaha

[@StormAutoAdventures]

This was the best team in the nation last season, no doubt about it. They're probably the best team in the nation this year as well, as long as Manziel can handle the pressure of being taunted by the other teams & the fans without getting himself into trouble.

[@adampemberton2686]

I think the biggest mistake in his career was getting drafted to the browns

[@devantesmithodu]

He throws better than I thought, he also did a few pre-snap reads and went through his progression. Those deep throws he had were on the money. He ran too much for me in this game though. He needs to be more patient in the pocket because with his talent he can always find a running lane

quick, athletic, and mobile QB. He's also pretty elusive and can break tackles even at 190 lbs. However, all i'm seeing is these short quick throws that any QB in the NFL can make. He doesn't wow you with his arm strength or anything. I have to give him credit though. Playing against Alabama ain't easy and he played pretty damn good.

[@pseudonym3640]

To with in on the Manziel vs. Mariota debate, I find it very difficult to compare the two, as they are both very different players who are asked to do different things on offense. Manziel is asked to do much more through the air than Mariota and is probably a more dangerous scrambler as well, but Mariota is more consistent, less mistake-prone, and can throw with better touch. I would say right now each of them is best for their respective teams.
