Scout: Johnny Manziel is more talented than Drew Brees

One NFL scout believes Johnny Manziel is more talented than Drew Brees, according to Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

“He’s more talented than the guy at New Orleans (Drew Brees),” one scout said, per McGinn. “His arm’s not as strong as (Michael) Vick’s but he’s farther along in the passing game. He’s not very far along, but farther than Vick was. He’s better than (Doug) Flutie, faster and better than (Russell) Wilson. He reminds me a little bit of (Joe) Montana. Fluid, and even though off-balance he can get the ball out. Has big hands (9 7/8 inches) for a little guy. To me, the only thing holding him back is the off-the-field and if he’s committed to coming in on Mondays and Tuesdays.”

Manziel could be more talented than Brees, but talent only takes you so far in the NFL.

Yes Jamarcus Russell was more talented too.

I know it's the off season but why are we torturing our selves with crap like this?

Pages need witten, websites need hits and writers need to get there name out there, hence pieces written that contain no information and views posted thst the writers do not even believe themselves.

Ick. I wish the draft would get here so we can all read something worth a ****. This off season has to be one of the longest I can remember. This sucks....just like this article.

A lot of QBs has more talent than Brees but most of them ride the pine. Its Brees mind that sets him apart.

I understand why they are written... I don't post each and every article just because it has Drew Brees name in it.

As far as the article, it fails to define talent and only covers speed, arm strength, and hand size. It's hardly an article and more of a quote from an unnamed scout.

The word "better", is not tangible.

Agree with all. Enough of this this.
Can't we all just focus on PT being a vegetarian for a month?

Brees will finish is career pushing 70K yards. Manzel will be lucky to push 20K.
