There's nothing to say about Luck. He's played very well but he hasn't been the best QB in the league this season. Why are you focusing on Andrew Luck?

Luck is the #1 fantasy player in most formats, so yeah he actually has played like the best QB in the league.

Wasn't there an article on the Cardinals possibly looking at Tim Tebow? That tells me right there the Johnny Football hype won't die easily.

I brought up Luck because he has been ignored his entire career


You cannot be serious...he was universally hyped as the next great HoF QB before he ever set foot on the field by every media outlet...and kept that narrative going for the next two years until his play on the field actually warranted that type of discussion.

lol

Is that how you really judge a player's OTF performance?

Go check out his real life stats, compare them to the other QBs and get back with me.

LSU fans have a weird hatred of Manziel. None of the other sec fanbases do, but for some reason, yall real mad.

The media will embelish more in his demise than if we would actually succeed. They love to build a player up just to shred him to pieces later.

They would actively root against him in games they weren't involved in during college as well. I don't understand it.

Not really. A&M is an annual regional in conference opponent....for starters (I think you know this probably), AND I think you'll find just as much "hatred" , as you put it, many other places. I don't see how its weird in any way fwiw. Its an in conference rival opponent's Heisman winning QB. Do you expect LSU fans to love him or something? He's nationally given just as much if not more attention. Its a compliment to Manziel that there seems to be a little venom towards him, and the fact that he's in national media spotlight seemingly on the regular over the last 2 years..

He won one game of consequence in his two years of college, and he's still living off of it. And that win meant nothing because the team they beat still won a national championship. His teams finished 3rd and 4th in the SEC West and the media act like he's the God of Football.

I don't think it has to do with being an LSU fan. It has more to do with not being a blind fanboy and looking at the facts.

? Media likes to build public figures up and then tear them down. People love to read about it for some reason that is probably jealousy. This is unkown to people?

Most posters on every thread are LSU fans. I don't like Manziel, but it's only because he's a cocky little shite. Has nothing to do with where he went to school. And like other posters have said, LSU shut him down twice. It's not field related like my hatred of Bama, I just think he's kind of a prick.

Dude, what you typed made zero sense. Hence the "huh?" response. See below.

I see a lot of dads in here bitter about a 22-year-old who is winning at life and has never been sorry for partying.

The fact that you think he's "winning at life" just shows how shallow and pathetic you are. He will regret it in 20 years when he's broke and has shite his NFL career away for some instant gratification. But this has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fact that the media is rewarding him for his bad behavior. He can do what wants, just please stop indulging his narcissistic arse and telling us about it.
