This is the first time I watched a full game of the kid. He's gonna go through an entire long career in the NFL with defenses underestimating his arm at 6'1", and paying huge prices for it time and time again.

the future of the league is the mobile quarterback.

Ryan Leaf 2.0

Haha good stuff! The hate for this kid amazes me. When Nick Saban says he's losing sleep over a player that should tell you a lot. He may be a douche but he's extremely talented.

He's going to be the next Drew Brees, right?

Nah I don't see that. I see him as a more talented Charlie Ward and more mobile but less talented Brett Favre. He's really a different type of QB and I think he'll have to be in a pistol style of offense to be really successful because he's short for a QB and doesn't have the passing ability of a guy like Brees.

The Leaf comparison is silly though, they aren't even remotely similar in style of play and Leaf has anger issues and problems with drugs and Manziel has nothing but a big ego and a lack of maturity. I just don't see it being fair to compare the two on that level and comparing them as QBs on the field is a night and day comparison.

Russell Wilson might be the closest comparison I can think of.

Difference being is that Russell Wilson eats, breaths, sleeps football and he's a natural leader. That's why he will succeed in the NFL and Johnny Manziel likely will not.
