Re: Ducks Commits Week 6 Stats
I just read a tweet that made it sound like Menziel is all aggie?!
RT @TaylorHamm247: Manziel told me that it's basically a matter of time until he's an Aggie. "I just feel so comfortable here". 19 minutes ago via TweetDe

Re: Ducks Commits Week 6 Stats
yeah, he's legit. none of this manziel to A & M stuff should be surprising to anyone. i know his #'s are amazing but like i've said before, of the 3 qb commits we have now, he actually needs the most work. fantastic athlete though. can't lie about that.

I get a Boyett feeling about him. That being that he could be plugged into a variety of positions and excel. I'd consider him a big loss if he doesn't commit, because this guy is simply put-a good, smart, athletic football player.

we will be OK at QB for the next 4 years regardless...although I don't want to lose Manziel because I think he could be special here in some role.nehalem wrote:I get a Boyett feeling about him.

That's the key, if he really wants to play QB then he goes to A&M. They have a chance to be OK as a team in a couple of years. If he comes here he will have to either swallow his pride and play another position or outcompete our other QB's. I wouldn't put it past him but my guess is that he would have to switch positions and that might not site well. It's a great problem to have.

Re: Ducks Commits Week 6 Stats
If anyone has watched Manziel play, while he has an arm, he has a lot of things going against him if he wants to play college QB.
- His team passes it 100% of the time, so hence inflated stats. So while some of those stats are crazy good, it's similar to what Texas Tech does, and none of their QBs never pan out at the next level.
- Most of his passes are in broken plays. I rarely see him just drop back and pass. This isn't actually a bad thing, but I just wonder if he has sound mechanics or form. Also you'll notice his release is kinda funky.
- Lastly, his WRs are all wide open. On that highlight reel against that #3 HS texas team, all of his WRs were getting wide open making Manziel's life easy.
I only bring this up because I believe he'll eventually be moved to another position if he came to Oregon. I'd still LOVE to have him on this team. But I just think he's starting to recognize the unlikelihood of starting at Oregon, so the Aggies are becoming a more attractive option.
