Don't Look Now But Johnny Manziel Turned Into An NFL Quarterback Last Night

An NFL Preseason tradition unlike any other – breaking down Johnny Manziel’s individual performance. Now I know what you’re saying – Kmarko, it’s the preseason, these games mean nothing, he’s out there leading second stringers against third stringers, half these guys won’t even be on the active rosters. Ha. Maybe. Well yeah, definitely. Can’t really argue with those factual assessments. But MAYBE it’s also a kid finally getting his footing in the NFL and feeling comfortable and learning how to be a pro quarterback. Just check the tape –

-Vintage Football play that we saw 1,000,000 times at A&M

-Perfect play action, PERFECT touchdown pass

-Smart, heady plays like taking a sack when you have no other options, and not tossing one up for grabs.

-This play may not look like much but Gruden absolutely SLOBBERED all over it, and if I know one thing, it’s Gruden is right about everything.

Something about reading coverages, reading the free blitz that didn’t get picked up and making the correct quick throw, you know, the stuff Gruden talks about. Football stuff.

-4th quarter comeback time!

Hey if you don’t want to take my word for it, take it from one of the great analytical sports’ minds of our generation.

And as upset as I was about the disappearance of the money signs…I do like money throws better.

Or at least equally.

Time to pull the old boxes out of storage!
