He is a rock star. He likes to party (probably owns a tuxedo t-shirt). He will be a rock star in the NFL. If the Browns cut him, they will be making a mistake as big as the team who passed on Michael Jordan. They can’t even trade Manziel without looking like fools, because with how ignorant that franchise is about all of these reports coming out from team sources. All that is doing is driving down the trade value of their player. [/quote]
I figured out what happens when you overdose on weed edibles. ^^ My god man, put the kool-aid down.
I get that he brought some notoriety and money to an otherwise sorry ass school, but did you watch him play? He has no business on an NFL field unless it’s the second half of a preseason game. Connor freakin Shaw outplayed him against a ravens defense that had something to play for. [/quote]
I don’t really give a fuck either way, but Manziel’s playtime came against Buffalo, Carolina(2 of the top 3 defenses in the league) and Cincinnati(a better pass defense than the Ravens). All 3 of those teams were indeed in the hunt for playoff spots at those times.
If you’re going to play a card like ‘BUT LYKE THE RAVENS DEFENSE HAD SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR AND CONNOR SHAW WAS A QUARTERBACKZ’ at least make sure it holds up.
Dude played for like 7 quarters and looked like garbage. There are people in the ESPN article ripping him, but also people still supporting him, even players in his own lockerroom(GASP!!).[/quote]
Did you watch him play? Was there anything he did which resembled an NFL qb? I saw an undersized, weak armed, unprepared, college qb get his lunch served to him. He got hurt from someone falling on him, not a big hit, just an nfl linebacker landed on him, and he’s out the game.
With the amount of hype, you would think he would be ready to start against a divisional opponent in a playoff race. This is the epitome of someone not getting it. Considering he’s a spoiled rich kid, there very little chance he ever will.
Keep drinking that koolaid, maybe in a year john football can sell you a used car back in texas somewhere, just dont let him sucker you into the extended warranty and rust protection. [/quote]
I have no affiliation with Texas and didn’t like the Manziel draft pick, but your opinion of him is too far in the opposite direction for having seen 7 quarters of play. After 7 quarters of play Matt Flynn was the greatest QB of all time.
I’m not sure if Manziel will change his attitude which he obviously needs to to succeed, but some of his teammates still maintain some faith that he will because they recognize that he is at his core deeply competitive; maybe being ripped to shreds for what happened this season will wake that competitive spirit up and get him to work at an NFL level.[/quote]
My opinion of him comes from watching him play in college as well as the NFL. Dude never had a shot to be an NFL QB. He’s like a poor mans RGIII with less arm, less speed, and less talent. Without Mike Evans no one even knows who Johnny Manziel is because the only pass play they ran at A&M is Johnny doesn’t go through his reads, panics, runs around for a while, throws a jump ball and Mike comes down with it everybody say Johnny’s awesome. Nevermind, that 80% of their plays went to hell in a handbasket because of his own doing and dude got lucky. That should definitely work in the NFL.
And to my point about Connor Shaw, I don’t think he’s very good either. He just would be a place holder till you could get a real QB on the team. You have Hoyer who is a serviceable backup but that’s your only real QB. Maybe Jerry Jones would give you something for Manziel. You talked him in to taking Weeden off your hands so maybe you could unload one more cancerous hunk of dead weight.
