Grits and Shins Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2016/01/06/lebron-james-johnny-manziel/78354226/ Wonder if any of this is sinking into Johnny's head ... or if he is still more concerned about where his next drink is and when the next party starts.

stevegrab Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Big news here yesterday. I don't think anythings sinking in yet, but JF has kept a relatively low profile, or the media is just too focused on the coaching search to notice anything.

Scorcher Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) His family is and always has been rich. He's what..........23 years in the making? If he makes or not in the NFL he is still set financially which so far doesn't seem to be all that good of a thing for him.

stevegrab Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The latest on Johnny locally, he was pulled over last Saturday (the day he flew to Vegas and partied through the night, in disguise) with expired plates (expired in September) and was issued a citation ($100+ fine). This happened early in the morning, probably when he was on the way to the team facility where they reported he was present for treatment/exams related to his concussion. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/01/watch_dash_cam_video_of_police.html#incart_m-rpt-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I can't believe I am saying this or that it's actually true, but based on character Jameis Winston has had a much better transition into the NFL than Manziel. Of course Winston has also had a better playing transition as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 What, no press conference? Well, once that happens we can start another "Manziel / cut ties" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manziel apologists will tell you that if the Browns were not morons and put him in the starting line-up game 1 of his rookie season he would have developed better. But since they didn't just hand him the starting job and made him compete with Hoyer he gave up, spent the year pouting on the bench and being a frat boy. So when they did finally need him, he was totally unprepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes sense for ALL quarterbacks that are drafted to spend their first several years on the bench learning and adapting to the NFL style and speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
