Jones said in part (video):

"I have the same impression when he came out of A&M of what his potential is as a football player. But you can be the smartest mathemetician, you can be the greatest politician, but if you can't get it straight, with your life, you don't get those chances and so I'm more concerned with that. With that in mind, not thining about where is to football and the Cowboys."

"I haven't changed my opinion of how exciting a player that he is, how unique a player that he is. And he plays a unique position. We have an old adage in talent evaluation, if you see them do it a couple times, they can do it. Now, will they have the discipline and the will to go out there and do it day in and day out, do like a Peyton Manning and make a career out of doing it every day. That hasn't been shown."

Jerry, you were wrong. Own it. Embrace it. Move on from it.

Did Shante Carver not teach you anything?

Fixed it for you, Jerry. You'd think his beloved would have been his reference and not Peyton. Guess this shows what Jerry really thinks about his QB.

He's basically saying Manziel is a drunk who's letting that get in the way of playing football. It's pretty accurate.

Then again, I never believed we were serious about Manziel in the first place. Tony Romo made that inadvertently clear after the draft. Manziel to Dallas wasn't ever anything more than free PR to Jerry.

You got 2 top ones in this draft. Manziel is nothing more than a waste of time

Yup we hear all this stuff about Romo playing years or so, but when you hear him talk bout Manziel, he always says we would have been good at the qb position for the next 10 years.. He has a choice of possibly 2 in this draft. Think he's going to pull the trigger

Naw, he calls it like it is...and leaves the door for achievement possible as well. That's ethics.
