It's just preseason, but Johnny Football is dazzling and RGIII still isn't protected

Good night for Johnny Manziel. Not so much for Robert Griffin III.

NFL preseason is here, which means we're one more week closer toward games counting for something.

For some people, these meaningless games provide an opportunity to get back on track. For instance Johnny Manziel and Robert Griffin III, two guys who really need a strong base to build off of after struggling mightily last year.

One guy, Manziel, completed (to this point) 7-of-11 passes for 42 yards, while rushing twice for 14 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown.

Griffin has completed just 4-of-8 passes for 36 yards, including this brutal hit.

It might be preseason, but the hits still hurt.
