    He isnt coaching today by choice. Dont get it twisted, the man was good enough as a coach to get his mundane brother hired as a HC.

    He can't find talent is it is 7 foot tall, 300 pounds and runs a 4.4 40

    He won the superbowl with Dungy's team and system

    He knew the Raiders play calls from the year before

    lol I couldn't make it half way through gruden's schtick. Seems like he's become even more of a cartoon character since last time I watched him.

    Gruden is a strange man, but that was entertaining. Will watch the full episode when it premieres.

    Fansided:

    Because we didn’t get to see him throw at the NFL Scouting Combine, there are still a myriad of questions surrounding whether or not Johnny Manziel can effectively–and accurately most importantly–toss the football around. However, for one NFL scout, that doesn’t seem to be much of an issue as not only does he like Manziel’s gun, he believes that it might be better than that of the guy who just won the Super Bowl in his second season, Russell Wilson.

    “He’s a better passer than the guy who won the Super Bowl, and he’s got a better arm,” the scout said. “Here comes the pressure, a guy breaks open, and he finds the receiver.
    Does he have a gun? No. But he doesn’t have a bad arm at all.”

    While it might be hard to disagree with what the scout is saying here, it must also be remembered that a good amount of the criticism comes from Manziel’s inability to read defenses accurately.

    All you have to do is turn on a tape of him against LSU to see that.

    Fortunately, the Texans aren't taking Manziel at #1. Let's hope the Jags blow it and draft him #3.

    Yeah, let's hope he goes to a team where we can face him twice a year and pick up cheap 3rd down plays with his legs. That never happens to us. :rolleyes:

    If we don't take him, I hope he goes to a team that we only play once every 4 years.

    Why would you want him to go to Jax? did you even watch him in college? He's a nightmare to stop.

    Honestly I was a little disappointed in that video. Gruden basically came out and asked him questions that Manziel has already answered. I would have liked to see Gruden break down some game tape of Manziel and asked him why he decided to run in situations when the WR was open or forced passes when he shouldn't have. These are the questions NFL coaches are asking and I would like to see how he responds.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Didn't really analyze football with manziel. I couldn't care less about manziels personal life, I want to hear him talk about the way he plays and why he makes the decisions he does,

    He's a good bull****ter. :p

    Doesn't come across as very convincing.

    From that short clip, he was asked:

    1) What kind of throw was that?

    JM: I think just get it there however it came out.

    Say what?

    Then he was asked if he was high maintenance.

    2) How much do I have to deal with? A lot of maintenance?

    JM: I was asked to do a lot of things. Things other people weren't asked to do. I did too much. Too much on my own plate, didn't say no enough.

    Asked to do too much? Boohoo. Newsflash: It ain't gonna slow down in the NFL. And until it actually happens, no one believes that you've changed your "Hollywood" lifestyle, no matter what you say.

    JM: Never wanted it to be that way. I'm not that kind of guy. I don't want them to think I'm high maintenance. I'm a simple guy from a small town.

    Simple guy from a small town, ha! Keep trying to sell it. No one's buying it.

    Due to all the "Draft Johnny Manziel" billboards plastered all over the city, I decided to check out their page. The video that I clicked on had nothing but clips of Manziel running. He looked damn good doing it but I think NFL defenses are a bit faster. Do people really want the Texans to Draft a running back? Because that what he looks like to me.

    Watch the bowl game against Duke. Especially in the second half, you see Johnny make a lot of throws people didn't think he could make.

    He was hurt that game. I get it though, let's ignore every other game he played, including Alabama, and focus on one game he didn't do well in. That's smart.
