the reggie bush/cam newton stories are not exactly analogous to this. they were paid cash and benefits in order to attend a certain school. manziel took money for his likeness. paying to play for a school, and being compensated for your likeness are separate arguments

You remember that crazy great season Cam Newton had 3 years ago? Johnny Football CRUSHED that by nearly 1,000 yards.

That's all you reallly need to know
Texas A&M is a lot more talented than Auburn tho. They had an elite OL. Auburn had Killa Cam. Killa was an one man show.

Johnny Football is a beast. He might be a fukk up which is in his family bloodlines but he's a beast on the Football field. His arm looks strong enough as well.
And not to mention he is fast as fukk and quick. That mafukka is a beast, point blank period.

Close thread brehs. Same cats in here absolving this dude were on the old site straight frying Cam during his ordeal (shyt I was one too).

I'm one of those cats that believe athletes should be paid, but that ain't the rule right now.

It's risk vs reward. I never bashed Cam for taking money. We all know the rules and the penalty if you get caught. Johnny got caught. Don't be mad at the cop for giving you a speeding ticket if you was speeding.

The funny part about all of this is that Johnny had to have done someone sideways for this to come out. From reading the article there was only a few people that knew about the deal and no one is gonna talk if everyone's being cool. He crossed someone is a bad way to get exposed like this.

What's funny to me is to see whites go at the NCAA like the rules are un-american but when this was Reggie Bush, they didn't say shyt.
TBH, a lot were mute on that Reggie shyt as well but on Cam's situation, cats were going ham and OD'ing slandering him & his father. Coming out the woodworks with taped recordings and stuff. Bringing up his past transgressions and no one in media was jumping to his defense. Hell,even when they bring up Manziel's fight incident, they NEVER bring up it was started by his friend calling a black man a ******. Never bring it up.

Because of Sumlin. He isn't half as talented as Cam. Manziel will be playing in Canada 2 years from now.

I really dont understand his/his parents logic. They act like he's the first ever star college football player. Colleges, the NCAA, etc take "advantage" of every star player by selling their jerseys and anything else. It's been going on for decades.....he already trademarked the name Johnny Football.

I cant help but think his parents feel soem type of cism about having a black man(Sumlin) in charge of their sons team. :mjpls:

There aren't many QB's who are as talented as Cam in the history of Football if any at all. Manziel is extremely talented especially for NCAAF, now is he is stud NFL prospect? I am not sure yet.

Right. This should be compared to the OSU situation.

I don't think they care. They just want Johnny success breh. They probably love him since he made Johnny the starter and helped him win a lot of games and a Heisman.

If A&M was still in the Big 12 he'd just be another run of the mill Big 12 QB at this point and wouldn't have won the Heisman. Not trying to say the kid is average because he is better than that, but to call him a once in a decade type of player is pushing it a bit IMO. Interesting to see how he performs this year. That OL won't be as good as they were a year ago, and the SEC teams will be more prepared to defend that type of offense.
