I was right there with you.I felt Manziel projected to be a seriously under-talented buffoon in the NFL back in 2014 and wouldn't have drafted him in any round. I am on record as saying so, and a bunch of people wanted him.

I truly felt some team might look him up in the 3rd round because famous prospects always have a way of making some team jump, but I thought he didn't make sense at all.
I was shocked he went in the 1st round and was terrified Jones would take him because Jones is a fool. I felt he was less physically talented than even Tim Tebow who's mechanics were terrible but at least was strong enough to be a playmaker. When your best attribute as a QB is "shiftiness", just forget it.
Of course I was proven right.
Jones just digging a deeper hole by trying to cover his previous idiotic "evaluation" of Manziel.
It's hilarious how teams have blatantly used Johnny Manziel as a smokescreen and many of you just fell for it.Of course I was proven right.
As I just said a couple of posts ago, I thought he would fall into the 3rd round and I wouldn't have drafted him in ANY round.It's hilarious how teams have blatantly used Johnny Manziel as a smokescreen and many of you just fell for it.
Jaws was right that this guy will likely fall into the 3rd round.
I saw him as a flash in the pan guy also but one still has to wonder what he could have been if he actually took his career serious.As I just said a couple of posts ago, I thought he would fall into the 3rd round and I wouldn't have drafted him in ANY round.
So you were wrong. Cool.As I just said a couple of posts ago, I thought he would fall into the 3rd round and I wouldn't have drafted him in ANY round.
Bet the Browns wish I was right.So you were wrong. Cool.
Manziel didn't fail because of talent. He failed because he is batshit crazy. It's easy to thump one's chest and say they were right about Manziel but the truth is the mental stability of a player is basically impossible for us to know as fans. We just have to trust the scouts and general managers opinions with that aspect. I guess with Manziel we had some clues but most of us had no idea he was a wife beats who literally couldn't control himself from day to day.I saw him as a flash in the pan guy also but one still has to wonder what he could have been if he actually took his career serious.
I knew someone was going to blame his mentality for his failure, but the guy could barely grip the football and literally looked like a kid out there. Sooner or later he was going to get crushed.Manziel didn't fail because of talent. He failed because he is batshit crazy.

Probably because he won more games last year then any of our backups with the leagues worst supporting cast. And probably because you keep making stuff up about his arm strength and now ability to grip a football. The guy has physical talent. The ONLY reason he isn't with the Browns is because of off the field stuff. And some NFL team will probably still give him another chance eventually.I knew someone was going to blame his mentality for his failure, but the guy could barely grip the football and literally looked like a kid out there.

You realize our own supporting cast was just as bad as his. Comparing him to the jackasses we fielded is the very definition of a poor standard.Probably because he won more games last year then any of our backups with the leagues worst supporting cast.
Jerry did play football you know?Jerry has seen the XRays.
Yeah and if it was possible he should have already been checked for CTE. It might explain some things.Jerry did play football you know?
Exactly my point.Yeah and if it was possible he should have already been checked for CTE. It might explain some things.
