Sometimes, it really is better to be lucky than good.
Witness this play from Johnny Manziel, which violates basically every rule of quarterbacking ever written. But the rules weren't written for a player like Manziel, were they?
Here's some of the reaction from Twitter to that little miracle:
I'm pretty sure when the Devil comes to collect, #JFF will get out of it.

Johnny Manzel's Vaseline bath doesn't seem like such a strange pregame ritual now. #BAMAvsTAMU @EyeOnCFB

This kid can't lose. If Johnny doesn't have a new Miami-based reality show with LeBron by the time HEAT camp opens we've failed as a nation.

Seriously, if Sumlin pulled Manziel from the game after that throw you couldn't even blame him.

Manziel plays like Florida Gulf Coast University.

They can't teach that at the Manning Academy.
