Scouts take on Manziel: He's another Favre

NFL scout says that Texas A&M QB will play hard, but do it his way

After completing his season with Texas A&M, quarterback Johnny Manziel dodged questions about whether he would turn pro early. It has been long assumed that Manziel would declare for the NFL draft.

However, the question of how good Manziel will be in the NFL lingers. One scout recently compared Manziel to retired quarterback Brett Favre, who was a second-round pick and went on to have an extraordinary career.

“He’s Favre,” the scout said. “On Sunday, he’s going to play his (butt) off. The rest of the week, he’s going to do what he wants to do.”

The scout said that was a combination of both great and sometimes bad habits. While Favre was a great player and worked hard at his craft, he also enjoyed having a good time.

“If you tell him not to go drink, he’s not going to listen. He’s going to go drink,” the scout said of Manziel. “If you can tell him not to chase (women). He’s going to chase (women). That’s just who he is and he’s going to do what he wants. I think he’s going to be great, but you’re going to have to deal with him on his terms.”

The same scout predicted before the 2012 draft that Russell Wilson would eventually become an outstanding quarterback.
 
He's a gunslinger, no doubt. Whoever takes him will have to take the good with the bad, on the field and off.

But man, at QB in the NFL that stuff doesn't go over too well. Sounds like a coach killer to me..
 
Yeah, personally I don't think he will be a great NFL QB. I think he will be a gambler that doesn't win those bets enough. There aren't too many guys out there like Favre who can play on the edge and succeed..,

The last line says it all about this nimrod.

Good luck to any team STUPID enough to draft this jackass high.
 
He will put people in the stands. And he will win games.

Last time i checked that's why they started the NFL in the first place.
 
I hope he TEARS UP the combine and teams start to think they can't do without him. Let the bidding begin!! :D
 
He does thrown some ballsy passes, but the arm strength isn't even close from what I've seen. He will be exciting. He's still a dick
 
Well he might be a reminder of Farvre except for his arm. That's kinda of a big deal for a gunslinger.

But come on Browns fall in love with him. We will cut you the same deal as did for Bob GIII, except we will take your extra first this year.....You're just going to screw it up anyway.
