Good Move or Bad Move?

There we were last night sitting on the edge of our seats.  Or rather on the edge of our sofa watching the NFL draft!  Where would Manziel go?  I'm actually quite tired of hearing about this darn Johnny Football!  A young kid like that coining a phrase and adapting a signature movement, it's been a bit irritating as we that live in Texas have had to endure 2 years of Johnny Football hype!  They even have Johnny Football shirts featuring him doing his signature move with his hands up in the air.  Now we don't root completely against A&M....we're nice like that! ;) But this is more of a Longhorn and Horned Frog household!

Still, this kid has given me a pain I can't locate in the last 2 years.  I honestly have been trying to stay away from all the NFL draft hype because I couldn't stomach anymore Manziel chatter! I wasn't too concerned where he landed yesterday! 

But there we are watching the draft.  Good ol' Johnny Football is still sitting there waiting to be drafted.  I thought he would be drafted at least in the top 13 or 15. But no, he was still there as the Cowboys pick was getting nearer and nearer.  The teams in front of the Cowboys had absolutely no need for a rookie quarterback. I suddenly within minutes had to readjust my mindset concerning good ol' Manziel!  I turned to Brad and said, "the Cowboys have to take him!".  It was the wisest move to make!  Draft him, let him sit behind Romo for a couple years to develop. Lets start planning for the future Jerry!  Romo is 34 and just had a fairly serious back surgery!  Time to think ahead! 

Brad agreed!  Manziel needed to become a Cowboy!  The pick was in!  The Commissioner announced:::::::::Zac......(something)(the guy's last name escapes me right now).  No Manziel in Big D! Jerry didn't have the guts to pull the trigger, so to speak!

As a result what has been the biggest talk of the day in our section of the world?  The lack of guts Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have.  The seemingly BIG mistake the Cowboys made yet again in the NFL draft has filled air time here today!  Now if Manziel goes on to have a so-so career or a flop of a career then Jerry will be vindicated!  But if he has any sizeable success the Cowboys will regret this for years and years to come!

Dallas media is TOUGH on the Cowboys!  So if Manziel had been drafted by them yesterday it would have been quite the circus with him and Romo.  The media would have had a field day pitting them against each other.  So I will agree with that one small point, which was brought up during some of the sports talk we listened to today.  Fact remains, I believe the Cowboys made a huge error.  Manziel is from Texas A&M, he's been quite the college star and even won a Heisman trophy as a rookie.  So if Jerry wanted to sell tickets and fill seats....Manziel would have been quite the added attraction at Jerry Dome!  Perhaps next year when Arkansas' quarterback goes into the draft, maybe then Jerry will pull the trigger to get him!  Jerry likes Arkansas(it's his alma mater)!
