    What Is Vegas Going To Do About This Manziel Kid Next Year?

    1. He hasn't really fully developed his targeting skills either... but he's still an amazing passer.

    2. Guy has amazing quickness, plans 2-3 moves in advance.

    3. Blazing breakaway speed.

    4. His team is never out of a game no matter what the spread is.

    5. No matter what Vegas lists the spread at... they can cover anything.

    What will they do about this kid? I'm serious. You can't put a spread on him... Alabama couldn't shut him down. Stoop brothers couldn't figure him out.

    I really think this kid is going to get a letter from someone... asking him to cool it a bit.

    The sick thing about it... he's only going to get better.

    he's human isn't he. some nfl defensive tackle or end will clean his clock. vegas will welcome the action on his games and adjust accordingly. will continue to star in college.

    It's a good point... but I was talking just collegiate. No collegiate tackle has cleaned his clock yet. I almost want to take Texas A&M to win the BCS next year. This kid is amazing. And he did it effortlessly... I think they could of won by 50 if they wanted to.

    there is absolutely no guarantee he will get better.


    Look at Matt Barkley he was awesome last year and played awful this year.

    The QB for Oklahoma Landry Jones had a strong start to his college career and fell off completely.

    cant take anything for granted.

    but i dont think Texas A&m wins the SEC next year.

    South carolina is gonna be top team in the SEC next season.

    As soon as you see USC
    that means auto pass on the QB Barkley fits the mold

    You guys with these offensive line comments are cracking me up. You mean to tell me OL can't be replaced? You can find 300 lb people off the street and give them a scholarship. They'll block.

    He plays in the SEC. Everyone will be zeroing into him next year. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't finish the year from all the hits he is going to absorb.

    RT mathews is staying to play LT next year so he can be more versatile when in the NFL and play with his little brother who will be starting center next year...as an aggie fan im more worried about replacing DE Moore who will be a top 10 pick and 2 starting LB's...Manziel is going back to George Whitfield this summer, he was there this past summer...A&M is losing 2 key leaders at the WR position this year but i think they will be easily replaced by the group of WR in this years recruting class its hands down the best WR class in the country this year they are big and fast...scary thing is Manziel is just going to get better

    all of this

    manziel will be one of the better cfb players as long as he's there and healthy but no guarantees other than gamecocks winning a national title next year

    Barkley threw tons of picks even in high school. At worst, Kiffen didn't do a great job of somehow concealing an inherent weakness. Maybe by giving him a dumbed down offence or something.

    He has a weak arm but he can run. Another solid College QB but wont do much in the NFL.

    Did you catch some of crack back blocks. Defensive backs and linebackers got to have their head up when he's scrambling.

    Great QB. I wonder if the NCAA had a one and done for football where he would be drafted.

    that Alabama game was a bad spot for the Tide and Manziel was lucky to catch them at the right time. If that game is played 1-2 weeks later they would have gotten dominated.
