Johnny Football vs Drew Brees

Manziel has a lot of Brett Favre's recklessness to his game. But without the elite elite arm strength that Brett had, Manziel won't be able to get away with a lot of the throws he did in college. If he doesn't refine his game, he's going to be a turnover machine at quarterback in the NFL.

If I had to compare him to anyone right now it would probably be Jake Locker.

Agreed.... When he gets an opportunity to start, his first season at least will be a Kapernick sort of first season, lots of legs and conservative on the throws until his decisions can be trusted. That is going to test his maturity. Can he make a whole season throttled back with out breaking rank or voicing his opinion if unfavorable.

Not easy going from Johnny Football to game manager...
