How Would A Team Structure An Offense Around Manziel's Skill set?

[SeeingRed]

Would you have back-ups/mentors around him who compliment his athletic QB skill set? Examples of QB's who would make sense to put around him (to teach him? to be his back-up? Who? And where is he a good fit?

[TLO]

Don't care.

[BossChief]

How do you still have thread starting privileges?

No more manziel threads. Or at least take it to draftplanet

Have a crappy oline so he has to improvise all of the time.

Please for the love of god stop talking about this clown.

Maybe you could mentor him. You both seem stupid enough.

I would draft him to a team where Alex Smith could be his mentor as well as backup.

Find a good backup who is good enough to be a starter.

I just don't think Manziel's body will hold up in the NFL. He is Big Ben except without nearly the same kind of size to handle the abuse.

He's the most like Big Ben in my opinion. Although they are different players the result is similar. Ben is mobile and breaks tackles. He also extends and breaks plays all the time. Just like Manziel. Johnny just does it through agility instead of strength and size. The problem is that I don't think Haley would want him. Arizona seems like the most logical spot for Johnny Football to me. Arians didn't mind it when Big Ben broke plays and accepted him for his natural abilities. Bruce could roll with a player like Manziel.

Big Ben is Big Ben because he is a rare breed of qb who can hold onto the ball for a million seconds, get clobbered all game long, and somehow stay mostly on the field. He's missed a lot of games, but it's amazing it hasn't been more with the damage his body has taken.

The guys manziel made miss in college are going to be faster. The guys who hit him will hit him twice as hard. Arians will take advantage of his skill set. He will also get him killed. So any takes on manziel have to figure out... Is it worth the lottery ticket of letting him freelance with the high likelihood he will get hurt? Or do you develop a limited game for him to run a more conventional offense that keeps him healthy, but probably won't lead to much success.

Have Smithy mentor him....sounds great.
