Pop gun arm? Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.

Here comes the capes

 

[herbshuttles15]

Manziel doesn't have weak arm its above average nothing special imo

He has a better arm than you guys think but what do I know!

Talk about Johnny Manziel and the Big-12/SEC/TAMU booster club come out the woodwork.

Did you think we'd let a stupid comment like that slide? Pop gun arm? C'mon now.

I don't know anything about the kid, but it does seem like the only Manziel boosters on NT seem to all be from Texas and have some type of personal interest...

He does have friends on here

That's how that dudes been though. Make an outlandish statement, wait for someone to respond, accuse them of "caping", rinse, repeat.

You asked how he'll translate to the NFL, but what you really meant is "someone say something good about him so I can give my opinion bashing him", which we already get.

Said multiple times, he'll need to curb how much he runs and do a better job making his reads and getting the ball out on time. If he runs, slide. Clean up some of the throwing mechanics. in college, I don't remember watching a game and thinking, he needs a stronger arm to make that throw. He's pretty accurate too. We're not talking about Tebow in college here

 

[N41D]

I'm not saying his arm is elite... But pop gun arm like he's Chad Pennington? Just ******ed.

He's got some issues within his game... But his arm strength? Ugh.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

He has a better arm than Chad Pennington but dude wouldn't be in the top half of NFL starting quarterbacks as far as arm strength.

So he doesn't have elite arm strength, he's not an elite athlete but he's possibly the 1st overall pick .

It doesn't make sense.

 

[do work son]

I'd argue Eli Manning doesn't have a elite an strength or is an elite athlete, and yet he's won 2 championships

That's a little bit reductive.  Teddy doesn't have either of those things either, does he?

 

[N41D]

I wouldn't want to have to take him in the Top 10, but the reality of the league is if you don't have a quarterback, you'd better find one...

If I had to have one, I'd feel better about taking Johnny than Teddy or Bortles.

He has a good, not great arm. Nothing wrong with that.

I think it was Dre who compared him to Jeff Garcia, which I think is 100% spot on. Did Garcia have the strongest arm, no. However, he had no issue in that WC offense and was extremely productive for a few seasons.

Ran an "official" 4.66 at the Combine RT @EdwardLewisBSR: #UCLA LB Anthony Barr ran a 4.45 40 out here at the Pro Day today.

 

[jus3]

^I wouldn't rely on those UCLA times. I mean look at these:

[renegade34474]

, went from a top 15 pick before the combine to a 2nd day draft pick. Someone is going to stash him like Lattimore

 

[herbshuttles15]

Is Barron the only person to out of Bama recently not damaged?

 

[IATT]

^ another year.. another bama guy coming in the league banged up..

I think his situation is different because it's degenerative, I could be wrong though

 

[SneakerProSr.]

I'd reached the conclusion that I don't want the Lions to draft an offensive player at all at 10 unless its Sammy Watkins and that ain't happening.

The more I watch Justin Gilbert the more I like him even though I hated him until recently.

I really hope they can trade down though.

Can someone post Kiper's latest mock?

Gracias.
