He looked really good, I streamed it all on my phone. I like the fact he decided to wear a helmet and pads and tore it up, unlike Bridgewater who couldn't even throw in shorts and a t-shirt. I personally think he's the best player in this draft and this is coming from someone who pulls for LSU in the SEC every year. Every team that passes on him will regret it.

[Macarthur]

I don't know if he's the best player, but he's damn sure the best QB. Anyone that thinks Bortles or Bridgewater are a better QB are high!

Now, what he ends up being as a pro is a different question with so many variables.

I could possibly understand Houston taking Clowney because he's a freak, but if he's not the first QB taken, the NFL needs their head examined.

mac you and i hardly ever agree on anything but we do now. you took the words right out of my mouth.

[Saggy Aggie]

I'll cry tears of joy if the texans draft him

[Aggie98]

64 of 66 in his pro day.

64 of 66 in his pro day.

one was completed out of bounds, the other should have been caught according to the news paper

[Rabid Cougar]

Apparently Chuck Norris had a prior engagement.

Out of bounds? In freaking practice. Come on Houston, take Clowney. Out of bounds.:doh:

[BB BULLS]

you know it was to long ago the Texans were in the same spot with Young, Bush & Williams. they took Williams, you just never know what they will do. what if they took Clowney first & take the Carr kid in the second round now that would be something. Houston fans would go nuts. if they pass on Johnny there will be alot of upset Houston fans thats for sure

[YTBulldogs]

Naw, just aggie fans.

[YTBulldogs]

Heck, take the best player in the draft #1, then McCarron in the 7th or something if you think you need a QB.

[BB BULLS]

Naw, just aggie fans.

i know but there are a bunch the suckers in Houston. you ever try go west on 290 on a saturday before an aggie game?

[bobcat1]

Dallas needs him.

[YTBulldogs]

Dallas needs him.

Yes, Dallas need a QB more than Houston does. Agree here.

what no one thinks Romo is a goob QB? just wondering last time i said something about Romo i got hammered.

[YTBulldogs]

His back is no good. And, with the pounding a QB takes, that's not good. Ask Troy what a back means.

[Saggy Aggie]

Seriously? This is one of the more idiotic things I've read on this site.

Fitzpatrick over romo? You're not that thick YT

[Roughneck93]

That was a very entertaining pro day.

I think Johnny ends up a Houston Texan.

Umm, yes. Not sure I'd start Fitz. And, Romo has back issues. Yes, I'm thick too.:p

[Saggy Aggie]

A crippled romo is way better than anything on the texans current roster

[bobcat1]

But for how long. We need a friggin QB period. I don't think he plays the full season and retires medically.

[YTBulldogs]

I never said I wouldn't take a QB this draft. Just not with first pick. QB pretty deep IMO.

[Snotbubbles]

Just seen some of J. Football's throws on news. 40 yard pass, WR came back 3-5 yards on a few. He should of thrown without pads on. Dumb. No defense to rattle him and he throws 2 OOB. 1 complete, 2 yards out of play and other was dropped even further out. WR was fearing items out of bounds I think. Short armed it.

[YTBulldogs]

I like the idea behind having him throw in pads Snot. But, it's clear he had some issue's on the deeper ball's. WR did break stride and have to come back on some. Didn't hurt his ranking though IMO.

You would beeeotch about a free cold beer.

[Saggy Aggie]

Lol people will find anything to bitch about. The pro scouts were all impressed and said it was by far the most impressive qb workout of the "big 3".... But yeah these 3adl experts have it all figured out.

Lol.

You are aware that people that get paid to evaluate this said he was great. :crazy:

cool aid drinkers. I take it you didn't see those 40 yarders under thrown then? Solid, not great I assure you.

[cougartino]

Seems to me a real pro day would have a guy participating with pros during 11 on 11. Anyone can look good with no rush, no coverage, or running through tackling dummies. IMHO

[Weebe]

I've followed several message boards over the last 15 or so years and I swear this is by far the least sports knowledgable board I have come across.

Guess you never seen him play or you might be a buthurt texas fan. Anybody can see he will be a good qb as long as he stays healtly.

+1....

[bobcat1]

If I was a GM and I had a shot at him and needed a QB even if not this year, I'd take him above the others. He has heart and a toughness about him. He seems to find a way to escape pressure and make something happen. Kid's a winner.

Johnny Turnover!

Watched every minute of it and you are either bias or don't know much about this. Professional scouts are paid not to drink cool aid. In fact, quite the opposite. They are paid to find as many flaws as possible. He had a great pro day and it has been stated by numerous folks that know what they're talking about.

No defense to rattle him? How many times do pro QBs throw in games without pads? My oldest son's team mates and coaches thought this was a brilliant move. I bet you will see NFL combines start doing this.

From another article:

Jaworski believes that, on the evidence of Manziel’s Pro Day, Manziel’s offseason work has significantly improved his form as a passer. Jaworski said Manziel threw the ball more cleanly at his Pro Day today than he did during his college career.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000337395/article/what-we-learned-from-johnny-manziels-pro-day

Kurt Warner: "He showed us he can make all the throws. That deep ball was impeccable. Great touch, good enough velocity and was able to set it out there."

[BB BULLS]

if you like him or not the kid gives it his all when he is on the field

[cougartino]

Not a fan of either team. Jamarcus Russell had a good pro day, too.

[cougartino]

I guess this is your first ever pro day you have seen...

Nope. By the way, my post didn't just apply to Johnny, but any college player. They used to have that college-pro all star game where you could get a good idea what a kids might do against the best pro players. I remember one year Theo Bell impressed the Steelers enough to where they drafted him.

[Weebe]

It's really amazing that so many pro scots and GM's show up for these worthless pro day activities. Has anyone advised the league office that the scouting combine that they put on is without value?

[Macarthur]

Not a fan of either team. Jamarcus Russell had a good pro day, too.

And no one said it will guarantee that Johnny will be a great pro. But it's just silly to say he didn't have a good day. Actually, it's not silly. :crazy:

I'm not the judge on the type of day he had. I just questioned the set up and process.

[Rabid Cougar]

College Pro Day set ups are done to NFL requirements and standards. NFL Team representatives run them, not the schools. School's S&C staff provides support.
I've seen NFL rep tell prospect to "get the hell out of my drill" because the prospect did not do it as instructed.

[caleb_mccaig]

You people do realize that Pro Days are supposed to go well? They're 100% scripted and put in an environment that the player is comfortable in to make him look as flawless as possible. There's probably been only 5 bad pro-days by guys in the last decade, one being Teddy Bridgewater this year. The top prospects are supposed to look good and flawless. Obviously a practice against no defense doesn't mean anything, but they're looking at arm strength, footwork and mechanics on Manziel and that was it yesterday.

[Scoop27]

One player like Manziel isn't going to make the Texans a great team

[YTBulldogs]

If they do take him, hope they get some WR's. Johnson is getting up there.

Not sure the Texans can handle the expectations of the multitudes of new fans they would have if they drafted JF.

Yes Scoop, 1 player doesn't make a team, but NFL football is a game of split second decisions and inches which turn into game changing plays. If anyone can boost a team's chances, JF can. I've seen it happen before and I believe it can happen on the next level.

I credit Klingsbury for making the decision to start him in lieu of Showers. Look what happened to Mac and UT when they passed on him. Nuff said.
