Johnny Manziel enters rehab

[BrAinPaiNt]

This is all true.

But on the other hand, and what I'm talking about is, .. if he wants to behave and not go club hopping, ... but all of his friends are going club hopping, then that is hard for him, sooner or later.

Sometimes you have to separate yourself from long-time friends and that is a hard thing to do.

Yeah I get that...but even though neither of us know him...I bet you are with me by saying I doubt he is serious and wants to stop the life right now...and until he does, there is no use for those type of people in his life.

I hope he realizes that he is hurting himself and is his own worst enemy.

Skip Bayless took flak for calling Manziel an "alcoholic".

True, he had a lot of flaws to begin with, this is the NFL and with his on the field flaws that needed to be corrected his time needs to be on fixing those issues instead his focus appears to be on the night life and partying. QB are looked at as the leader and Manziel has not shown that at all on the field of off the field.

Couldnt believe all the folks that wanted him in dallas. And i never bought all the jerry stuff that he wanted to draft him, that was him bs.ing and being nice to the kid

He never said he wanted him. He also said that they had three defensive players ahead of Martin. Dallas was looking at defense.

Jerry loves Romo. Just awarded him a contract the year prior and said he would be like Peyton, involved in game planning and got Linehan for him.

 

[Plankton]

Yep.

It sucks: you get the first pick or three in the draft, and there's no QB there. But sometimes there's just no QB there. Trade down, or take the impact pass rusher or LT. There's no other choice. Overdrafting a guy you think can't play and then tying up your starting QB position for the next three years plus is maybe the worst thing you can do. Much safer to take the better player and move back up in the second for your Bridgewater or your Carr or what have you. That's a guy you can sit for a year, or jettison after a year of starting if he can't cut it, anyway.

Key is to trust your scouting. If you have the parameters that you look for in a player, and you hold true to them, you have a much better chance of not horribly busting on a player by ignoring obvious warts or shortcomings based on need.

Turns out he knew what he was talking about.

A broken clock is right twice a day...

But boy has this off season started off with a bang. Manziel in rehab. Sapp and prostitutes.

 

[rynochop]

Well Jerry admitted it, so you're wrong on that.

I know, and i'm saying i'm not buying that he was serious.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Well Johnny can get right & then see if he can cut it in the NFL. He blew his rookie season & they needed him.

His direct quote: "Zack Martin gets you 8-8."

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

Good for him. He's still a garbage quarterback.

 

[BAZ]

Turns out he knew what he was talking about.

Only if it turns out to be alcohol. They haven't named it yet.

 

[MRV52]

If he was with the Cowboys and least he would have had free Rehab.

He's a spoiled brat who's had everything handed to him. He wasn't even able to call the right plays in the huddle. His teammates thought he was a joke. He'll be on the SEC network with Tebow in a year.

Those people aren't friends, simply leeches. They are there for the ride instead of being real friends. If he matures and realizes that, he will be fine. If not, he will get himself in all sorts of situations that are easily avoidable.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Doesn't Dez have some guy the Cowboys hired to keep tabs on him & keep him out of trouble? If he doesn't I apologize Dez but I thought I read that somewhere.

It's actually a good idea. Some people need that no matter their age.

Johnny could use that.

With the investment the Browns have in him JF isn't going anywhere next year.

The Browns really don't have that much invested in Manziel. Not when you compare to the salaries and guaranteed money that veteran QBs earn around the league.

What investment? He was selected near the bottom of the first round. He wasn't even their first pick in the draft. They cut bait with Richardson within 2 years, and he was the third overall pick in the draft.
