"Literally" no idea about anything? Lol. Just because I disagreed with the premise of your post and still think it's ridiculous? Maybe I need glasses, but Johnny Manziel definitely has never looked like a "superior athlete" out there on the field. He has incredible escaping skills, accuracy, throwing on the run, etc. Which is more important for a qb than pure athleticism. But he just looks like Russell Wilson out there to me and no one ever calls Russell Wilson a superior athlete. And Wilson even ran a faster 40 than Manziel.

He's not athletic enough to be compared to Vick. Not a polished enough pocket passer to be compared to Brees. Pretty much Flutie and Russell Wilson it is. How many short, black, qbs do you think there are? There is nothing superior about Manziel's athleticism. He's a quick, small qb. Exactly like Russell Wilson. There's just no supporting evidence backing your claim. He'd be thought of as the same by scouts if he were black.
He's a good athlete, a great/superior quarterback. Just like Russell Wilson. Someone who can make stuff happen and is athletic enough to make things happen that other qbs can't. But in terms of being some superior athlete that is being brought down by the man because he's not black, is ludicrous. He's not that athletic for NFL standards. He's a little dude that is going to take a beating if he tries to run around and do crazy things he did in college. He needs a system and smart coaching just like Wilson. Wilson is incredibly smart, and that's what Manziel has to learn. Can't go head first when you are in the NFL or take shots that you don't need to. Just gotta be smart. He's definitely fun to watch.
It's not even close. Manziel's official 40 time at the combine was 4.68. Vick was 4.33 and he was clocked in one attempt at 4.25. Vick is the most athletic quarterback in the history of the NFL. Not even close. RG3 is far more athletic than Manziel too. I have no clue what you guys are watching. Manziel is basically Russell Wilson. Same size, same speed and no one claims Russell Wilson is as athletic as Michael Vick. That's not even logical.
I think you have a different definition of "athlete" than the rest of us, including the dictionary. There's not a single person that would say Peyton Manning is more athletic than Vick, but there's also not a single person that would say Vick is a better quarterback than Manning. Trying to say Manziel is athletic as Vick is one of the crazier statements I've heard on this site.
