Steve Young compares Johnny Manziel to Drew Brees

“… That’ll be the challenge for Johnny — if he’s willing to do the boring work behind the scenes day in and day out, over years, he can be Drew Brees.

He can be guys that have moved around in their careers – Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers could scramble around for 100 yards if he wanted to, but he’s learned the game. That’s what Johnny is going to have to do.”

Good grief, you guys are way over-reacting. He said he could become a Drew Brees IF...

He didn't say he was Drew Brees already.

I've watched Manziel play a few times and I've never seen any similarities between Manziel and Brees.

To me it seems they have completely different styles. Now if he had said, with hard work, Manziel could be Farve or Tarkington or himself or any number of quarterbacks that make things happen by scrambling out of the pocket, I could see it. But Drew is almost a cliche' pocket passer.

It sounds like silly Steve just needed to say something.

He's just setting himself up for a concussion lawsuit.

More like Jeff George in Tony Romo's body.

Steve Young's head still hurts from Frank Warren and Rickey Jackson.

I too am getting tired of hearing his name. He is clearly wanting the money. I called it early last season he will declare. Why would someone want to declare after only two years in college? Did he not enjoy his college experience?

Johnny football showed last year that he had no where near the discipline, devotion, and preparation Brees does when he got booted out of the Manning camp.

Can't compare anyone to Drew Brees

San Diego showed they had no trust in him when they drafted phillip rivers - drew kept him on the bench

Drew then got injured and was told he'd only have a 25% chance he'd ever play football again

Not only did he come back, he was miles ahead of where he was in San Diego and showed them they made a mistake when we won the SB

Manziel might be a good QB when he gets to the pros, but there is only one Drew Brees
