Lots of experts have also said he could be effective so there's that as well.
Daaaaaang, you got me there, didn't you? Yes, lots of experts liked Manziel. I think the biggest indicator was the Browns drafting him. Keep in mind that I was making a comparison between him and McClain coming out. I'd say that McClain had a clearer future according to everyone involved at the time. I guess we see how that turned out, didn't we?
I have never heard of Manziel as lazy way to make shit up and his 2nd year in college he showed much better aptitude in the pocket.
That is really nice, genius...nothing must have never been said since you didn't hear it, huh? It sounds like you've got a rock solid case there. Yes, there are reports about his work ethic. He has a pretty big reputation as one of those guys who believes that he is so good that he just needs to show up when football is on and do his thang. Honestly, there is part of me that likes his rebel attitude but we've all seen those who failed and succeeded based on making being a professional QB a year round proposition. He hadn't shown the ability to be a student of the game in the film room either. Of course, lots of guys in his shoes haven't either.
And as him being a self centered prick why have all of his teammates stood behind him even with all of the off field stuff I have never read anything about teammates not liking him.
I bet he is a hell of a player to be in college with and have a good time on the field with. Lets be honest though, we've heard this song and dance a thousand times before. Erbody loves to play with T.O. erbody loves them some fill in the blank. To me this is the most iron clad thing about him. It is not really an opinion if he is a self centered prick or not. He no doubt is. That alone is not damning but it is part of the overall picture.
I don't know if he ever makes it, but you don't have to make shit up to back up your obvious bias.
Since his success or failure in the NFL hasn't been proven yet I'd say that your opinion is biased as well. So welcome to the awesome world of having a bias concerning Manziel.
