Vernon Gholston might be a better comparison then.

I don't think Clowney will be the next Gholston, but I don't think he becomes a perennial all pro either.

POLL: Who has the better long term NFL career: Jadeveon Clowney or Johnny

I honestly think Clowney washes out a la JaMarcus Russell

If he doesn't have the work ethic he might, but if he puts the work in...

I don't think so because of different demands for the positions

Clowney doesn't appear to be the bone head off the field that Russel is....

I think so too. And I am guessing the income will motivate him to work...enough.

I would venture to say that any NFL position requires extenisve thinking

Yes, but come on - NFL DL vs NFL QB? Not close to the same.

There is no football comparison to Clowney

Clowney doesn't play quarterback

This. Russell was just not smart enough to play QB in the NFL.

Manziel is a much harder worker...but also likely to get crushed.

Talk to the Mannings about his "hard work".

Talk to his team mates, and coaches. He definitely has some issues....

BengalCougar

Precisely. Tragically, Johnny works hard AND parties hard.

He's a gamer if there ever was one. He brings it.

Manziel has better intangibles.

How exactly do you determine that?

kccougar

4/24/14 12:35pm

You don't, that's why it's intangible.

BYU81

4/24/14 12:38pm

Exactly. So I'm wondering how you measure whose is better.

kccougar

Clowney can get by on talent alone
