What kind of QB will Johnny Manziel be in the NFL?

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson has a chance to be the number one guy.

PLAYERS: Russell Wilson,  Pete Carroll
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks

SEATTLE- Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is understandably fighting to figure out who his guy his going to be.

When I say his guy think of what Peyton Manning meant to Tony Dungy. The two of them will be forever linked to each other.

After they yanked former Packers back-up Matt Flynn from the jaws of the Dolphins, it was assumed that Caroll was rolling the dice on Flynn being his guy.

He could still feel that way but he’s also looking at their third round draftee Russell Wilson as a possible dance partner.
