Why do people hate on Johnny Football?

[speed dawg]

Everywhere I go I see people hating on him. Ironically, it's usually white people. Black folks love him. So I'm chalking it up to jealousy.

I mean, what has he really done wrong? Name me another guy who can win the Heisman as a redshirt freshman and handle the hype any better? Only one I can think of is Tim Tebow, and people hate him because he DIDN'T screw up. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. This guy had the whole world wanting a piece of him, and all he did was sign some helmets and go to a party. Then he goes out and dominates football for the second straight year, when everybody knew what he was going to do and how to (theoretically) defend him. Oh, he says the Texans should draft him? So what? Guys a great leader, everybody on his team loved him and played harder because of him.

He's ****y, people say? I see him as confident, not ****y. I think confidence scares people who have little of it.

Haterzz gon hate

It is a moot point. Manziel is going to get crushed in the NFL. I loved watching him play in college but he won't cut it in the pros.

I can only speak for myself, but becuase he takes a lot of the credit hta the does not deserve.


that texas a and m team he played on was LOADED. he was the third (last) first round pick on that team. the year before, when he won the hiesman they had the 2nd pick in the first round. his entire offensive line will / is playing in the NFL. last year he was blocked by the 2nd pick and the 7th pick in the draft lol of course you can run around and do **** when you are behind that type of protection. That was one of the best offensive lines ever assembled in college.

half of the throws he would make he would just throw up and Mike Evans would go get it. Mike Evans is a beast. I was at the Arkansas / Texas A and M game this year and the first play of the game he just runs around, litarlly just throws the ball in the air and mike evans jumps over 3 dudes to grab the ball and everyone is talking about "oh there's johnny football". dude is going to be the biggest flop of all time.



Texas A and M played against 2 elite pass rushers all year this year.. Knoy Ealy (and michael sam the gay dude) for Mizzou and Dee Ford for Auburn. They lost both games and Manziel was held somewhat in check. He actually got knocked out the Auburn game. Bama is a big name but they don't have elite pass rushers.



damn now you got me in NFL Draft mode lol. i wasn't gonna watch it today

I listened to his post-draft interview. He was a douche. I can't see an NFL locker room respecting him at all. He's going to come in promising to change everything, the Browns will still be the Browns, and everyone will quickly come to hate him. He could be the next bullying scandal in the NFL. The guy needs to be hazed; it would help his personality.

Clowney went 1st. The clown went 22nd. He's overrated just like Tim Tebow was. He has great legs, but under pressure he gets desperate and throws balls up for grabs. He needs to learn how to throw a pass out of bounds when there's nothing there. Mike Evans deserves a lot of the credit for making him look good chasing down those desperation throws.

He hasn't played 1 snap in the NFL and he's already calling himself Johnny Cleveland. He isn't humble at all and he's going to get a rude awakening in the NFL. Cleveland is where quarterbacks go to die.

Blacks don't love him either, I have heard plenty of black hardcore sport fans say he is hype also

Clowney is a true beast, can't wait to see him play, this dude is literally going to be murdering people on the field, and I do mean legit murder. This year draft picks have me really excited about next years season though, and yes I would even include johnny to see if he proves everyone wrong, I strongly doubt it though.

QBs out of college for the last few years have been having tough times adjusting to the pros.

I guess I sort of mis-communicated. I was really wondering why people hate on him, the person. I have no clue if he'll make it in the pros, that's a complete crapshoot.

He is, but I wonder about his work ethic. If he decides he wants to play, he'll wreck sh*t. You just never know how these guys will respond when their talent gets comparable to their peers.
