Manziel doc

That Heisman year he set the SEC all-time running/passing yardage mark and showed the Sooners & the Stoops brothers how it all worked.?
Yeah, but that didn't work too well in the NFL...where half the defense was as fast if not faster than he was. He was a spoiled little boy playing a man's game in the NFL.

Maybe so, but he was still good in college..
His problem is he never took things seriously. Johnny is always going to be a frat boy. He made a lot of money. His family has a lot of money, so he can afford to be a frat boy all his life. I am sure a lot of us would have opted for that route if it was possible.
To another comment, I agree, that Netflix QB special isn't that special.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

yse, he was. He had a great cast around him, and he made things happen. In the military and college - I knew kids that weren't ready to be on their own. No principles, no moral guide - a few here and there were just self-destructive - that was J.M. - I don't like remembering him again. lol

Still trying to have amnesia on that pick... Jesus!

That and a quarter will get ya a phone call.
He was a Fran Tarkenton in college. And with the athletes we have on modern NFL defenses Fran wouldn't realize the same success today. Unless he stayed in college his whole career. That's what I think anyway.

Well, the one thing everyone is shaking their head at now that the documentary is out is, shock, he spent zero time watching film. Apparently it got dark as well.
If nothing else, the documentary might get some publicity for the new bar he is opening in College Station. -
I lied. I watched it.
His Dad is a misguided turd. Blaming his coaches for their lack of guidance with Johnny and his behavior. Not making an excuse but He didn’t have a shot.
And The Browns workout….what a clown show…no WRs and his lawyer and agent running routes!!! His agent got him paid.
Let me add…grandfather cleaning money for him in college…just wow

On this one Al, I just have to let a bad memory die. There's another thread where they are discussing this a little bit called "If You Didn't Enjoy Him Enough The First Time, You're In Luck..."
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

You mean like the car wreck -or- worse yet train wreck where you promise not to look .... but you can't help it and sneak a quick glance ? Oh no, too late you did anyway.
And now you're stuck with it on your memory. And we have Johnny bleepin football to thanks for that.

I think I’m guilty of the train wreck comment. I know one thing….Ray Farmer will never sniff a GM job again

Now, now, now! Everybody knows the Manziel pick came from the homeless guy on the street, not the GM.?

Eh, maybe it's the old man and father in me but I don't have the disdain for Johnny Football like some others have. Honestly, I have way, way more contempt for the clowns in the organization who drafted him despite overtly obvious red flags. I was the poor kid in private school and have seen a bunch of guys go crazy in their college years like Johnny did. Sympathy isn't the right word, for sure, but I also through my "adult" lens can realize it was just bad/apathetic parents and a cry for help. Give folks like that a lot of money and fame? Recipe for disaster.
I really don't have the inclination to watch this, but people can change and hopefully Manziel has.

I always felt the disaster was his parents and the coaches (both college and pro) not sitting him down and clearly making him understand he was not mentally mature enough for the NFL. He should have stayed all 4 years and been given that chance. Kids that age can't make that kind of decision without a lot of honest help. I think we all realize it was years too soon if ever.
