Replace Mannion with Johnny Manziel

[dieterbrock]

Can't judge him on that game, not with the likes of Darrel Williams at LT and Aaron Neary at Center, combined with secondary WR's struggling to get open..Mannion has shown enough in preseason, that with the one's I believe he's fine as a backup and again I cannot underscore the fact that I want to see more of QB Brandon Allen. He showed well for the Jaguars in preseason and has the ability to escape the pocket and run enough to move the chains, which offers the Rams a different dynamic at QB.

I realize preseason is not always a great barometer, however, Rams will have enough attention this season with some of the players, they don't need a Johnny Manziel, who, IMHO, is not worth the risk because quite frankly, from the neck up, he's worth a dime.

2 things,
1) Brandon Allen, remains to be seen if he was Olson’s project thanks to their history in Jax. With Olson gone, has he built any equity with Mac? Not so sure
2) these “WR who couldn’t get open”, how do we know when the qb only throws the ball 5 yards. But more importantly, if they couldn’t get open against one of the worst defenses in football, why then does it appear McVay is confident in those same guys replacing Sammy Watkins??

I get the support for Mannion, we’re Rams fans. We’ve seen the backup lead the team and be a star. Ferragamo in for Haden, Warner for Green, Bulger in for Warner and the greatest possibly of all, Tom Jarrett replacing Leo Farmsworth who replaced Joe Pendleton....

Unfortunately Mannion just doesn’t have it

If not Johnny, then who? You guys CAN'T feel comfortable with Mannion....or do you?

I would rather go with a fresh New Face in the later rounds of the Draft then Johnny Boy!

Like:
* Kyle Lauletta - Richmond
* Logan Woodside - Toledo
* J.T. Barrett - Ohio State

Okay, but neither does Johnny Manziel and he's a disaster. Mannion stand up guy so when presented with a better alternative, I'm on board, but Johnny Manziel? I'll pass on the dumpster fire.

 

[Ramlock]

So being in the stands makes your opinion more important than being at home watching the game in hi-def?

We differ, thank you.

Nope, just makes mine different.

Well my displeasure with Mannion isn’t related to Manziel, I don’t endorse him per se. Now if he were to “win” a preseason battle and take the #2 job, I’d trust in McVay on that

 

[I like Rams]

Lets grab Manziel and OBJ. That way we can call ourselves "The Psych Ward". Go big or go home, right?

With regards to his playing ability, I don't think he's a better option than Mannion as the Ram backup QB, he has a different style of play to what McVay seems to want from his QBs IMO and just doesn't seem to fit.

To be fair, sometimes it's desirable to have your backup give a different look than the starter. If he has to come in during the middle of the game the defense won't be prepared.

Kaepernick

I would take him over Johnny Tricycle every time.

Both guys are way more talented than Mannion.

Not Manziel, he has almost no talent in the pros. I am originally from CLE and know fans there and loosely follow the sports scene there. He was absolutely horrible, the worst. And he looks like he weighs about 180.

Popgun arm. Can't read defenses. Too small/slight to take hits. Dumb as a rock.

He's also a woman beater. Twice.

That's where we disagree because I would not want Manziel at all, he's a first class Chadrool!

 

[dieterbrock]

In the last 3 seasons, Cleveland has gone 4-44, including 6 starts with Manziel, when they were 2-4. Not saying he's any kind of messiah but dayum.....

So he cant be recuperated? I'd trust McVay on this one

I loved Joe Pendleton...

Before everything that happened this off-season, it would have been a joke for me to consider this (Go ahead and laugh, LACHAMP46!:yess.

So, you finally are ready to do whatever it takes to win?

I agree....Not just Johnny....Kaep...Cutler....somebody that can look down field and deliver a pass....

Mannion doesn't have it.

@ Manziel
@ Kaepernick

 

[Adi]

Manziel looks tiny, I think on the field is just as much of a problem as off.

Still think he's better than statue mannion.

 

[Merlin]

Yeah, I said it! Now hear me out, please. Before everything that happened this off-season, it would have been a joke for me to consider this (Go ahead and laugh, LACHAMP46!:yess.

I have a real hard time believing Mannion could beat out Crapernick or Tebow in TC.

He plays slow.
