    I've watched those Browns games he's played in, and I thought he did pretty well considering how little talent the Browns have on that team. For a second year QB that hasn't played very much he definitely was doing OK. But, Johnny clearly has serious issues. Alcohol problems, maturity problems, mental problems. I don't know.

    I don't see how any team would want to acquire Johnny hoping he would be their number one QB.

    I've been watching them too... I don't see the same thing.

    I've seen more promise/potential out of the journeyman QB's in the league (which Manziel may one day become), and the young guys who eventually become successful, than I have in him.

    I have serious doubts that even if he was a saint off the field, and devoted his life into becoming a better football player (which he will likely never do).. that he has the physical/mental tools required to succeed in this league. The "only" reason he was drafted as high as he was is due to the potential "instinctual" plays he was able to create in college... unfortunately, those do not translate well to the NFL (and have exposed some other "instinctual" guys such as VY and Kapernick... who don't possess the other required physical/mental tools).

    Yeah I don't buy it.

    Everyone did exactly what he did on Christmas.

    He should be judged by what he does on the field, not meaningless things off the field.

    But haters gonna hate

    I think it's a safe assumption that Manziel ends up in Dallas, hell the crazy man that runs that disaster of a franchise wanted to pick him in the first round.

    Surprised Dallas even shows interest. But, gotta do whatever gets the butts in the seats, I guess.

    Plus the steadying hands of leaders like Greg Hardy and Dez Bryant will be able to right the Manziel ship.

    Would be hilarious if Dallas told him to F off.

    Manziel is in zero position to say who he wants to play for... He's far from a sure thing on the field, and is stilk an idiot off the field.

    Johnny is just an idiot with a drinking problem. He's not doing this on purpose, that gives him too much credit. His entitled self needs a reality check. He only went to rehab in order to appease the public and was never serious about changing his ways.

    Must suck being a Browns fan. Yikes. That's by far the worst coaching job in the NFL

    Johnny has a serious serious problem. It's really sad. He has an opportunity few people ever have and it's all slipping away. We've seen other athletes lose everything because of alcohol and drug problems, and right now Johnny is going in that direction. Johnny may have psychological problems too. The guy is just a train wreck. It's just hard to believe any team would take a chance on him at this point. Jerry Jones is the one guy that may take the risk.
