So far I am not impressed with Johnny Manziel

Manziel Money

One of the 3 biggest questions I had about Johnny Manziel was is he willing to work hard enough to become the QB that his natural athleticism indicates he can be. So far, I am not impressed by that aspect of Manziel.

He could still win but the odds are very much against it.

The problem for the Magic is that the two losses were from different causes. They lost game 1 because Howard was shut down and the team looked out of sync from the long layoff. They were just out hustled in game 2 … Read more at FryingPanSports
