It was crazy how the dude just came on the scene an blew up at one point it was like he couldn't be stopped so yeah its gonna go to your head at one point he really says we couldn't just do the normal play we were about the theatrics so it must have been a amazing time just turned up all the time even off the field
Considering everything Johnny went though, he really landed on his feet. He’s still popular enough to earn a living and he’s a legend in College Station. Life will be good for him regardless
Sometimes natural talent ends up being a curse. Because he was effortlessly so good in college, it reinforced in his mind that he didn't have to do the hard work, the film study, etc. And that simply doesn't work at the NFL level. The guys who had to work hard day after day to earn it are the ones who end up as nfl legends.
@@LaToyaRidesvuxfacts but it just blows my mind that Johnny literally played football for fun 😂 them niggas was betting they life on it while Johnny was already more loaded than and pro player😂
Coming here after the Club Shay Shay episode with Manzeil. Glad to see Johnny is doing good and in a better place. You don’t see many superstars who burn out land on their feet, hope he continues to find his happiness.
@@WanderingWolf365I think maybe they can appreciate that he was an undersized underestimated quarterback that had some natural athleticism but one that in a sense no one really wanted, the girl he wanted to go to the dance with said no, yet somehow he managed to go transmute these physical and psychic limitations into the momentum to become a truly transcendent quarterback for a time who was more than the sum of his parts. It’s easy to write some off as just too lazy to make the next leap, and some people are, yet we all know life is actually more complicated than that, and we all know we all know this yet somehow-even with less publicity than Manziel-we’ve all felt this reductionism imposed on us by the world, family, loved ones, at some point We all can reach highs we’ve only dreamed of yet still be told by the world or ourselves it’s still not enough and we fear it never will be. Maybe they just hopes he’s doing ok because they want to believe we are more than the sum of our parts and magic isn’t fleeting it’s all around us always
im a huge johnny guy but he aint sober. even on the doc shows him drinkin' ha. saw/met him at the waste management last year. such a genuine person tho that surprised me.
I always said Johnny was amazing but he also owes a lot of his success to Mike Evans. Mike would just go up over everyone and catch the ball even if there was three defenders glued to him. Glad Johnny gave Mike credit. Both legends. Most of all im Glad Johnny is looking healthy and happy.
That Alabama play, "The" play. What people don't often note is: 1. Look at the freaking cavernous pocket! That '12 OL was a collective beast. All season. Complete lockdown of Alabama D on that play. The football could have hit the ground and he would still have had time to pick it up and reset and then throw. Amazing! 2. Because of Manziel's legit threat to run and throw, they couldn't fully commit to max blitz or rush 3. So they split the diff and rushed 4. So 7 are back. There are 5 Aggies on the move. So Alabama has a +2 defensive advantage. And yet, somehow, Swope is WIIIDDEEE open. Like criminally so. Someone saw the bobble and their muscle memory kicked in and for a moment treated Johnny like a typical QB. And lost sight of Swope. Just like a lot of that season, it just seemed like pretty much everything broke in A&M's favor in key moments and they usually took advantage of it. With the notable exception of LSU. They always made him look like a typical QB.
Johnny wasted his opportunity in the NFL but don’t forget he won The Heisman award and was one of the most popular athletes in the country at one point. The spotlight and pressure was too much for him and he wasn’t mature enough for it.
Even thought I’m a Michigan fan, I remember being a kid playing football with my buddies both during and after practice we would throw up the money manziel thinking we was hot stuff. I’m glad he is doing better!
Manziel won me 1500 on that Bama game and I was a believer from that point forward. So very glad hes doing well and hope he finds a way for his presence to return to the public
His off the field issues were bad but Mike Pettine completely destroyed his career and confidence by refusing to start him despite only having Josh Mclown as the other qb. Honestly he might have been something if he wasn’t drafted to the browns.
If he was put into a backup role. Brady. Rodgers. Manning. Would have had to been a qb or coach his dad or grandpa or something respected, he needed a real structure. Not Cleveland lol
Johnny didn’t love playing football enough to be a starting QB in the NFL. You have to be 100% in on being a NFL Quarterback and he wanted to party more than watch tape and study the playbook. I think he 100% had the tools to be a Franchise QB if he would have gave 100%.
@@mrgotitfordalowyour probably right, even in college he was wrong a lot, but it still worked. He even admits that in this video. I. The nfl, margin for error is too small, and he can’t juke people like he could in college (nobody but Lamar can), so he couldn’t be wrong as much and still win plays like he did in college. It was a processing issue, and he couldn’t our athlete teams at the nfl level. However, he rly may have had the mobility and arm talent to be a baker mayfield to russel Wilson (in his prime) level talent if he did do it the right way. We’ll never know
What a legend😂😂 seriously to do the stuff he was doing and not pour your heart n soul into it tells me this guy coulda been 1 of the best of all time if he took it seriously
Johnny had the talent but a lot of his numbers came from Mike Evans being a beast. Still as a Johnny Football fan i wish he had been able to adapt to the league.
@@K-xb2qz facts smh he had all the talent to be a all time great and the swag to be cash cow but no work ethic and drinking problem smh still I love watching his Texas A&M highlights
I wouldn’t say it was a work ethic problem, you have to have pretty good work ethic to play d-1 college football at a high level, let alone to win a heisman. Also why do all these other NFL players get to use CTE as an excuse for off field issues and he can’t? How do we know it’s not CTE.
I think he would have easily gained more than Bronny. When you compare, no one comes close to the amount of hype. He was everywhere and I'm no fan but facts are facts
I can’t imagine how cool it would have been to be Johnny Manziel in college. The women, the fame, the money- I don’t think I could have handled it either. Not gonna lie.
Few people could handle it. Going from unknown 4th string qb to starter to heisman candidate to international celebrity in a matter of months is unheard of, it would make anyone's head spin.
As an Aggie fan, for some reason I feel like this guy was just a freak athlete with an insane amount of luck. Most of those big plays he scrambled and threw a ball with his eyes closed praying someone would make a play. Still the greatest era of Aggie football imo.
I'm surprised Johnny didn't include Marcus Mariota on his most exciting/favorite college QBs list. I think it's a good list don't get me wrong, but I remember him saying he was a big Mariota fan at one point.
Bro if you played ncaa 14 he and Mike evans was op asf , I literally had to start games over in road to glory and dynasty , just to try and beat him I just decided to lose to the computer he couldn’t be beat on heisman , he was insane
just imagine what this dude could've been if he took it serious going into the NFL But I think thing's would've been different if he got drafted to a different team.
So glad my Dallas Cowboys drafted Z.Martin instead of J.Manziel…..it seemed like a no brainer pick to take Martin but there was so many “fans” that wanted Manziel, for some crazy reason, anyway, Martin is still playing at a high level and will be in the HOF
Yeah, he had flare style was exciting flare for the dramatic he played with passion and you can see he is real as shiot his teammate you know they loved him he is that guy and I know they partied well together too.
people don't get Johnny was playing in the NFL and completing 57% of his passes without watching any tape. He clear has a high Football IQ and if he watched tape and put the work in off field he would be one of the best NFL QBs out there.
Him talkin about the pump fake play, they would practice all the time, makes me laugh. While I believe they did practice it, or scrambling period, I remember a lineman, Joeckel or Matthews was asked how do you block for somebody who scrambles and runs so much. They said it was the hardest thing they had to do because some plays where he would supposed to be in the pocket and they'd look back to make sure he was good and he wouldn't be there, they'd look forward again and he'd be ten yards down field hahaha Just wish he had his priorities down pat and was in a different system when he got drafted. Can't imagine what he would've done if his head was screwed on straight.
First time Johnny has watched film
