Not sure why people are surprised. His game was reliant on athleticism, when he realized NFL LBs and even some DLmen are just as fast or faster than him - the jig was up.

He's not a pure pocket passer, he's small and minus the hype he was a mid-round talent QB.

He'll be lucky to be a career backup at this point.

I've said it millions times in the last year - I am soooooooo glad we passed on him. Didn't want any part him or that circus before the draft. Now here we are a year later and he still looks like a hot mess.

I know. But I hold you in high esteem. Do better. :)

It does seem as if there is more to Tiger's problems than just a swing change or age. I don't know if it is really related to women or if he just lost the drive after being super rich and famous for as long as he has been.

I don't follow golf as closely as I did years ago. I did see Tiger in person a few times back in his early years of dominance. It was quite spectacular to watch. I remember standing on the side of the fairway of a par 5 near where the drives would land. His drive was so much farther than the drives of all the other players I watched come through that it almost seemed unfair. The other plays were using a 3 wood or long iron to the green and he was using a lofted club which gave a much more accurate placement on the green.

His over-confident cocky attitude on the field is what made him great in college.

Making him a regular guy will be likely when Tiger cut down to 1 woman at a time and lost his game.

Interesting take. I am definitely in a wait and see mode with him.

Manziel said all the right things through the draft process last year. Where did that get him?

It's deeds, not words, that matter.

It appears that the off season work he did has helped him mentally grow up. Is anyone buying it?

He claims to have retired the money sign thing he has been doing.

I know that I was a guy that liked Manziel coming out of college. Anyone out there giving him a chance to succeed in the NFL? Anyone think he can be a good QB? I certainly have my doubts now.

He said all the right things after the draft as well

He has no choice. His career is hanging by a thread.

He has a choice. Money is no problem for him. He was rich before he started playing football, filthy rich. Trade for him Jerry. It would be a CZ blowup.

My guess is that Collins has the ability to be a pro bowl Guard, but only a good Tackle. I like him at guard going forward. Martin, Frederick, Collins up the middle of the line is going to be murder in the run game. And also protecting the pass rush up the middle. Not sure if it will be this year, however.

Jerry had zero intention drafting him, he was just being nice and trolling the media with all that talk

I never thought his game would translate well to the NFL. When you add all the other crap, like teammates in the huddle having to diagram plays for him, he is a disaster. He'll be on the SEC network faster than Tebow was.
