The Johnny Football game

Barbarian- I'll take your word for it that he can make all the throws and from what I've seen he does have a nice arm...wish he was airing it out more...would like to see more quickness, movement in pocket. Footwork maybe?? Seems to have some of the sluggishness like they said about Mallet (then again, we are watching Manziel also so everything else looks slow)

he is definitely not a runner but he can move in the pocket so I'm not worried about it.

 

Hey man. No need for that--- you're better.

 

I grew up with that word so it isn't offensive to me so I really don't think about it being too much.

I guess we're just lucky you didn't grow up in Alabama.

 

Not for nothing, but it's not so important that it isn't offensive to you.

 

Don't misunderstand me, I know you're a good dude. I'm just saying.

@CBSSports

Final -- A&M 41, Oklahoma 13 -- http://cbsprt.co/CottonBowl13

 

-- Manziel finishes with 288 passing and 229 rushing. Another Heisman next year?

 

 

Wow!!!

 

He was 12 yards short of being only he 2nd player in HISTORY to pass for 300 and run for 200 in the same game. That's amazing to me when you think of all the players to play the game.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Plus he had that one play that was maybe 10 yards that was a sure TD dropped by the WR that became an INT. Maybe it was even more than 12 yards I can't recall.

I'll try not use it again.

 

What do you mean by Alabama need further explanation of the last sentence?

 

There are individuals from some areas in the deep south that feel comfortable using certain derogatory terms because they "grew up with it", that's all. Not an inference on you in that regard, but that's the same reasoning.

 

To be fair, I also grew up with the word "retard" and the like as innocuous terms we threw around casually, so I certainly understand where you're coming from. I know that a few posters that disagree with some of your opinions have allowed their rhetoric to devolve into disrespectful diatribes and I just think it's a mistake to fight fire with fire.

 

My condolences for Landry Jones :oops:

One other thing.

 

In spite of running the ball a lot and extending plays, it didn't seem to me that he took much punishment.

 

Seems like his outstanding football instincts include the ability to avoid taking a beating.

 

Some quarterbacks on the other hand seem to attract beatings, bring it on themselves.

true, I fired off before I thought about it , you get pushed too much and you snap back.

 

Landry will be OK but his his OC should be fired though.

Yeah.

 

And jones is no Bradford.

 

Not as accurate IMO and not as good under pressure.

 

Agreed 100%. Bradford is possibly a worse starting QB than Fitz and Jones isn't even close to Bradford. BB is probably a good guy but he gets manlove for guys. If Jones becomes anything more than a backup in this league, I wil lbe shocked and gladly admit I'm wrong. He's pretty much a whatever QB.

 

It is hilarious that BB tries to blame one of the best college coaches in Stoops for Jones not being that good. For God sakes, Stoops helped freaking Josh Heupel win a Heisman. Jones just isn't that good.

 

And Johnny Football is a goofy looking mofo but the kid balls. The only thing I worry is Sumlin runs a great offense for a QB. Case Keenum said NCAA passing records in it and is barely in the league. But it will be very interesting to see how Johnny Football grows as a player. It will be nearly impossible to top his freshman year.
