Steve Young compares Johnny Manziel to Drew Brees

Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young compares Johnny Manziel to Drew Brees.

“He’s the guy that seems to really thrive in chaos,” Young said in an interview with Yahoo Sports, via Black Sports Online. “That’s an innate quality that I don’t see very often. I think Johnny is very improvisational. I think that that’s a fun part of the game. The truth is that in the NFL, the job is to deliver the ball from the pocket. That’s the job. So he’s going to have to transition that.

“… 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.”

I’m sorry, but I don’t see any similarities between Manziel and Brees.

Sigh. Is it draft day yet?

I don't ever want to hear the name Johnny Manziel again. I thought RG3 was over-exposed but damn man... I'm sick of this kid already.

You aren't alone. Running around like a keystone cop at the NFL will have you on the bench, injured or out of the league. I'm not sure what Steve was drinking when he came up with this so called similarity/comparison to Brees.

Manziel is really good. I didn't want to agree, but he really is. He's prone to interceptions to me, because he's a gun slinger like Favre. He reminds me of a fast Brett Favre. Although Brees is kind of prone to interceptions too. Manziel can be a really great NFL QB.

And I've said it before, I'll say it again, Bridgewater is the best of this class. If he fall to the 2nd like Kiper thinks, I'd be ecstatic if we took him at 27.

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.
