    Adrian Peterson was pretty dominant. But ever since that LT game, I've known Manziel was the real deal and tried to watch every possible snap of his.

        He's pretty damn good too. Look at the weapons around him, though.

              Not sure you realize how good he is, set the SEC record for yards in like his third game, and THEN BEAT IT like two games later.

                  Yeah -- not saying he's the best, just trying to figure out when the last time we've seen a frosh do something like this.

                              They list him at 6-1, 200 -- is he anywhere near that?

                                No way. That Oregon kid is good, but he's no Johnny Football.

                                        A&M has no place in my heart.

                                        I'm a UT grad. Johnny is just good.

                                                  also have to take into account he's playing in the SEC and still putting up these types of numbers.

                                                  kid really is incredible

                                                    Oregon recruited the kid pretty hard from what I remember...their QB now is just the sloppy seconds. Good but not quite where this kid is at yet.

                                                      Hard to imagine a better fit for Chip Kelly's offense. Wonder why they missed on him.

                                                              Maurice Clarett. Hopefully Manziel doesn't try to challenge the NFL and go pro after this year like he did.

                                                                    i was thinking maurice clarett as mentioned earlier. also hershell walker

                                                                    what about braxton miller this year? not nearly as good but i'd throw in UCLA's quarterback. oregon's too.

                                                                    not sure if these guys were true or redshirt freshmen though? i think the tailbacks were.
