Support the man who built New Kyle Field and made A&M a national brand. Ball Don't Lie.

Based on post a&m accomplishments. One could say kliff and mike evans are the ones that built kyle field and not Johnny.
I'm not admitting to this, but manziel isnt the god like figure a&m fans see him as anymore.
So, to be clear, he taught them how to play sandlot football???Shai-Hulud said:
KK real accomplishment was getting the receivers to know what to do after the play broke down but Johnny was still running around.

Johnny and his buds are quite literally the deuschbaggy frat kids down the street...
But wait!
He is well past college age.
*confused*
Is this for real? Evans is a 3 time Pro Bowler with a quarterback who set an NFL record for interceptions. The only time Jameis Winston went to the Pro Bowl was when Tom Brady turned it down.ABATTBQ11 said:
Without Johnny, Mike Evans is just another really good receiver.
Even though Jameis has had his issues, he passed for over 5000 yards his last year as a starter, it isn't like he is some bum.AgDotCom said:Is this for real?

This is delusional rewriting of history. So much dislike of Johnny by people that rooted for him and were awed by what he did on the field. HE was the reason Texas A&M football was being talked about nationally. His legacy is what he did while at Texas A&M period. It's not what you think he should have done after his career here.Ajollyag said:

You don't think that the success we had during the Johnny years resulted in an uptick in $$$ for our football program?Jimbo4win said:
So Kyle Field would STILL be exactly like it was in 2011 if Johnny had stayed at Oregon despite the fact A&M has consistently been one of the wealthiest athletic programs in the country over the past 5 years? Wow..Thanks JFF!

Interesting the host guy says there are 6 grown men in the house. So there are 8 total?
How does he have time for this strenuous work with his PGA Tour practice schedule?

Where do you even start with Johnny Manziel? He's a hot mess, a trainwreck, a lost cause, and most importantly, a lost talent who succumbed to the material world over his pro football career and embarrassed himself time after time, tarnishing forever a reputation that could have taken him many places.
He should have been a star. His run-and-gun style of quarterbacking was an exciting addition to the league that proved successful in college. But he apparently didn't think the rules applied to him.
He caused trouble at every turn after winning the Heisman as a Texas A&M freshman in 2012. He had a drinking habit, and that the was root cause of a lot of his foolhardy ways. He missed meetings, crashed frat parties, charged for his autograph, was arrested more times than once and even skipped town to party in Vegas in a bad disguise the night before a Browns game when he was out with a concussion.
In 2015, Cleveland, who had drafted him 22nd overall the year prior, had finally had enough and released Manziel from the team. The next year, his marketing agency fired him, two separate agents fired him, and he even lost some lucrative endorsements.
He was never able to kick his addiction problems, and what should have been a long and successful career never even got off the ground.
JFF more disgraced than woman abusers, murderers, and rapists. What the hellWindy City Ag said:Quote:

Rae Carruth - One of the best receivers in the history of Colorado Buffs football.
Kellen Winslow - Controversial but productive tight end for the Miami Hurricanes.
Lawrence Phillips - Dominant Husker Back
Aaron Hernandez, etc, etc.
This article ranks Manziel at #2 in terms of most disgraced athletes just behind Hernandez. That is a bit harsh even by my reckoning. I would put him and Vince Young as a tie somewhere higher. They size him up pretty well though.
