What is funny is both Randle and Manziel had the same agent.This isn't Hardy blackout drunk situation anymore. This is Joseph Randle, batshit crazy area Manziel has wondered into. I seriously hope he gets the mental help he needs. This clearly isn't just a kid who likes to party too much.
It sure seems like some serious mental health issues to me unless he is just on some really crazy drugs. This isn't weed, alcohol and cocaine though and I would be really surprised if he doesn't have some type of mental disorder of at least bipolar.Clear drug addiction problems and potentially mental health issues as well. Good thing Stephen Jones talked us out of that pick cause I would have taken him that draft (of course, I didn't have access to background checks either).
He's the kind of guy that might actually benefit from doing some time.I have said this before but I have friends that now the Manziel family and the primary reason he is like he is (somewhat nutzo) is because that's the environment he was raised in. Some of his family members are thugs and his parents gave him everything he wanted. He doesn't know how to be normal. How he is acting is normal for him. Chances are he will spend time in prison sooner or later or meet his demise.
I could give two shits if another position was rated slightly higher than the QB we are locked in on. QB is far and away the most important position on the field, so that takes priority.I am commenting on you having a problem with us not taking a QB at 4 because he was not ranked that high.
If Goff goes to Cleve at 2 it's not crazy to say the other QB's would be ranked lower than some other people at 4, Wentz is being projected all over the place at this time.
The mocks comment was concerning both QB's are not consensus top 4 picks so why is crazy to think Dallas might not feel the same?
This.I could give two shits if another position was rated slightly higher than the QB we are locked in on. QB is far and away the most important position on the field, so that takes priority.
For instance...if on our board Wentz/Goff/Lynch were rated 8 or 9, I would "reach" for a QB before I'd take a CB, S, LB, or DE at 4. The one caveat would would be Bosa. We don't seem to go by our board anyways, if we did then Floyd would be on the team.
3 of the 4 QBs in the AFC/NFC championship games were not only first round picks, but first player taken overall.
3 of 6 QBs in the AFC were first rounders, while 4 of 6 were first rounders in the NFC.
Since Aikman retired we have not taken a QB in the first round...no Super Bowl wins either. I'm not counting Steve Walsh either.
Bottom line is this team tries to get cute when addressing the QB position. Finding Romo was beyond lucky and former baseball players just aren't panning out either...so maybe it is time to invest in a QB early.

I think people with mental illness really struggle with admitting or even knowing they have it. Unfortunately as an attorney I deal with my fair share of crazy people. And some of them with a medical diagnosis still refuse to accept that they have any mental illness.I don't think it's just a matter of the guy being addicted to some sort of substance, there are plenty of NFL players who drink, smoke weed, probably even do coke and so forth and they are completely fine on the field and generally together. It's the fact that this guy has legitimate mental issues combined with whatever the hell he's doing on the side.
And what's worse is, since Aikman retired we've only drafted two QB's total, QC in the late 2nd and Stephen McGee in the 4th. The much used excuse was taking a QB early is risky and it takes them time to develop so we end up drafting a more immediate starter at another position. But those excuses are bogus because it's even riskier to have the franchise rely on projects, former baseball players, undrafted FA's. And the same excuse about taking time to develop was used for over a decade as a reason not to take a WR in the 1st. But then when we finally took Dez he contributed immediately.Since Aikman retired we have not taken a QB in the first round...no Super Bowl wins either. I'm not counting Steve Walsh either.

To me these are the defining numbers. The vast majority of teams going to the SB and deep in the playoffs year in and year out have QB's taken in the first round. Brady is one of the few exceptions. And most of the other successful QB's were either 2nd/3rd round picks, but only once in the last 25 years have we even drafted a QB in the top 3 rounds.3 of the 4 QBs in the AFC/NFC championship games were not only first round picks, but first player taken overall.
3 of 6 QBs in the AFC were first rounders, while 4 of 6 were first rounders in the NFC.
The NFC has had first round QB's in 5 of the last 12 SB's and first-third rounders in 9 of 12 :
First round: Cam, Eli (2) , Rodgers, Mcnabb
2nd round: Brees, Kaepernick
Third Round: Russell Wilson (2)
The 3 exceptions were Kurt Warner, Hasselbeck and Grossman.
I'd much rather take my chances on a first round QB than hope to get lucky later in the draft. Guys like Brady and Warner are a major rarity. Other than those two, Russell Wilson is the only non-1st rounder to go to more than 1 SB. Others like Hasselbeck and Grossman had one year runs and much of that was attributed to having great defenses.
It is sad.I think people with mental illness really struggle with admitting or even knowing they have it. Unfortunately as an attorney I deal with my fair share of crazy people. And some of them with a medical diagnosis still refuse to accept that they have any mental illness.
