I have to agree with this. It's almost the way some women put it. For some women size doesn't matter if he can make up for it in other places lol.
In this case, Wilson had the maturity, smarts, and leadership and "MENTAL INTAGIBLES" that you either have or you don't that completely negate the fact that he's a short QB. This is why Drew Brees has been a successful QB and will probably wind up in the HOF later in his life.
Manziel is NOT either of these two guys. He's got nothing in common with either one of them outside of some similar physical skills. Drew and Russel are mature and cerebral QB's. They are almost like shorter, but more mobile versions of a poor man's Manning or Brady.. but Johnny Football is just a short guy with some physical talent. I don't think that's going to be enough to live up to the hype that's been around him (that he's embraced). I think after his first contract is up, he's going to be a journeyman QB for a few more years and then become a career number 2. There's just things that he doesnt have the Wilson and Brees do that can't be taught on the field. You either have it or you dont. You either are that type of guy or you're not... and the NFL moves at a totally different speed than college. These are grown men coming off that line in a way he hasn't seen yet.. and THIS is when your maturity and mental aspect of the game have to come in and save your ***. I think some defenses are going to flat out punish manziel and expose him.
Not to turn this into a draft discussion but the Texans just need to grab the best player available to fill one of the holes they have... Johnny isn't going to live up to be a first overall pick..not to mention.. dudes like Watt and Andre Johnson are NOT going to put up with him and the Johnny Football train that comes with him. Those dudes are MEN.. Johnny is still a boy.
