For those saying his game doesn't translate to the NFL, I think that argument either already is, or will soon be outdated.

In 2008 Chan Gailey first used the Pistol in the NFL with Tyler Thigpen (unless I missed something earlier), and now that formation is regularly being used by at least 4-5 teams in the NFL.

The principles of the spread offense and it's variations have continued to propagate throughout the NFL, and I absolutely believe it will continue. It's the basic principles of supply and demand. A large portions of High Schools are running it, and easily half of the 50 best colleges are running it in some form. And trust me, after A&M beat Bama with it, the stigma of that style of spread "working" in the SEC is gone, and more teams will now look to utilize it.

Look at the most successful QB's to come out over the past 3+ seasons, a majority ran a version of the spread in college.

Manziel will need to be at least close to 6'-1" and around 220lbs by the time he enters the draft to be a first rounder, but if that's the case, I have no doubt he'll be at least a top 10 pick, assuming he progresses at even half the rate he has this season.

People want to knock him for Florida, his first game, and LSU, that's fine. But he was a freshman learning, and I think Bama was evidence of that progress. I just really hope the pressure of the rather desperate Aggie fan base doesn't hurt him mentally.

So Klien flopped and lost yesterday. Kenjon Barner got shut down and lost yesterday, Te'o still has a shot but he's defense and likely won't get it. Oh, but guess who didn't lose yesterday and broke more SEC records AGAIN, Johnny Manziel. This kid is the real deal. If he doesn't win the Heisman the entire race and trophy are an absolute joke. He is twice the player Tebow was when he won it. He is already better than Bradford. Not quite on Cam,Luck or RG3's level, but he is still has four more years to improve. As long as he doesn't get injured or mentally break he is the future.

Tim Tebow was the greatest college football player of all time. Let's not go overboard with the Manziel love in that respect, although he does have a very real shot at the Heisman.

He's kind of smallish. But I'm not even close to evaluating him for the draft yet. He's a RS FR and with QB's experience is so important. Dude is a hell of an athlete though.
