"Manziel comes from a well-to-do family, so even if he falls his landing will be a bit soft. Or it should be. Chances are good when Johnny Manziel runs to the NFL after this season, which all signs point to his inevitable escape of the town where he will come to regret taking for granted for treating him like a God, he’s going to get in the NFL. In the past week former top 10 overall draft picks Vince Young and Matt Leinart were both cut by their respective NFL teams. They were cut as backups, and are likely done in the NFL. These men owned their respective college campuses when they played at Texas and USC. And Leinart “played by the rules” when he was at ’SC … if they actually had any under Pete Carroll. The defenders that Manziel so merrily averts in college usually are discovered by NFL linebackers and turned into lunch meat. The best athletes in college are more on offense whereas in the NFL they are all on defense. They can catch, and they kill. The closest thing Manziel is going to see to this is when Alabama comes to College Station on Sept. 14 in what has to be the biggest party this town has seen since Varsity’s horns were sawed off. He beat ’em once last year, which is when the real enabling began. It was then Johnny learned how exploitative some of these rules are (see NCAA), and when he entered that rare place for the .02 percent. We can criticize and hate on Johnny, but the truth is a great many of us would simply love it if the rules didn’t apply to us either."
