Jonathan Paul Manziel

I'm talking about since he was a brown. But I would expect you to bring that up since its 2 and a half years ago. Whatever, it proves my point even more. Even with this arrest, he went on to have a great two years at A&M.
Off-field pictures, trips to Vegas, etc, will have NOTHIMG to do with his success or failure in the NFL.
Where could I ever have gotten the idea his college incidents were off limits?

Moving on... to wrapping up...

" I am glad I did not fail you. And know that you did not fail me. For "I knew" that in your world, referring to JM's on-field exploits at A&M would be perfectly acceptable to any discussion, whereas his off-field would not be. Why is that?"
I never said this. In fact, it is idiots like you who want to hear nothing about his college years, because "college doesn't matter". So you start calling things incidents from the last 8 months which are all bullshit-johnny did nothing wrong. I point this out and you pull the arrest from before he played a single down as an aggie out of your ass. Pathetic. I've never avoided his off-field stuff, just pointed out that most of the issues are nothing but him being popular. His arrest was definitely serious, it almost got him kicked out. But that is the dumbest thing to point out as an "issue", it has nothing to do with anything relevant today. But you have to grasp at something, so I shouldn't be surprised.
And I would say the same... you have to grasp at his stats, his "Heisman" and his "star power". Clearly we're talking past each other and since now you have begun name calling, it's time to move on.
For the record... I watched a great deal of JM in college. Very exciting player... but one who's game I thought had a low probability of translating well to the NFL. For me it's not the stats, it's how he generated them.
BION, however, he's ours now. If and when he gets his chance, I'll be pulling for the Browns... same as I have with Hoyer, Campbell, Wheezy, Colt, Brady, DA, Charlie, Trent, Jeff, Holcomb, and, of course, Timmah.
But Hoyer's run is not yet over... hopefully not by a long-shot. Does that make me a Hoyer fan? A JM "hater"? No... and here's why.
I've said all along that the longer Hoyer starts, the more we are winning. Because the only way Hoyer was ever going to keep his job was by the team winning.
Go Browns...

So now his "bodyguard" is in jail for DWI while driving Manziels car.
Sorry guys, but you now own the Tiny Canadian Pussy Douche of the NFL.
The guy just wreaks of something dirty.
So with a thread going titled "The Days of the Running QBs are Over", just what do you do with this douche?
With all the holes in JM's statement, the Driver is the least of my concerns. Waiting on the video...
As for what we do... hope for Wilson II to emerge.

I thought george was a buffalo fan, No? If so why the fuck do you care about Johnny?

So the same guy involved in the fight has now been caught with a DUI exactly one week right down to the time of morning it happened later. At least it lends itself to the idea the BOTH the guys fighting were drunk. I don't know if that says anything about Johnny, but it at least pokes some holes in the idea that only the "fan" was making drunken decisions.

i know manziel wasn't involved with this DUI situation but what i don't understand is why these guys (any football player/celebs etc.) don't get everything they need to party with i.e. women, drugs, guns whatever and go to their mansion and lock the fucking door. the need to show your face and be TMZed at 2:30 in the fucking morning is beyond all comprehension. especially when you know your employer frowns on such behavior.
needs to cut ties with that bodyguard.

Hoorta is a gordon cheerleader so apparently breaking actual rules that require mandatory league suspensions and driving drunk is ok, but having a fake id in college, omg.
and before he does the, johnny is a a qb thing. if your morals and values waiver that easily, you don't have any. You don't work for the Browns; even if you did holding manziel to a different standard than you hold gordon to is ridiculous.
the fact is youre just hoping to be proven right about some pre-draft prediction you made based on not liking johnny for some weird personal reason.
you're a cliche.
I could give a rat if I'm proven right or wrong. My track record is pretty far on the proven right though. And when I'm wrong, I'm the first to admit it.
Har har regarding Gordon. Get back to me when Manziel leads the league in passing yards, and makes the Pro Bowl. As of right now, he hasn't done jack shit in the NFL.I'll cut him as much slack as Gordon when he does.
True- I didn't want Manziel- because he'd be a distraction, among other things. Guess what? He's a distraction. FYI- there's a shit ton of people that don't like Manziel for the same reason I don't particularly care for him- as a person. Not the kind of guy I'd want to hang out with. There's a difference between liking a football player, and liking the person. Isn't about my personal opinion anymore- I can't kick Manziel off the team- and I have to hope he does well.
This had zero, zilch, nada to do with the fake JFF ID. I could care less about it. I do care about his conduct after he got drafted by the Browns however. F**cking liar. I'm all into football. sure. However, I (and some others) still think he's still got some growing up to do. Maybe he'd actually be starting if he had been in Berea working out instead of hanging out with Bieb-er.

Everyone, hoorta doesn't care if he's proven right but he wants you to know about his track record. He's apathetic, but.
Your entire post proved my points for me. Thanks.
It's flat out weird you want your qb to be someone you want to hang out with. Why would you even say that? Like you think about hanging out with the players? Or you just like things that are like you?
Good luck with that.

The irony of hoorta suggesting manziel needs to grow up is amazing.
Hopefully he does one day so you take down your brian Hoyer poster. Please, post more post on the Internet about how another man needs to grow up to do his job better where he makes millions of dollars.
That's adult-like.

Birds of a feather......

Can't even remember how this escalated, but it's boring. Bottom line, I believe Johnny will succeed in the NFL, regardless of who likes him, who doesn't, who thinks he doesn't work hard enough even though they have no idea how hard he's working, or who thinks his stats don't matter but his "incidents" do. NFL history might be against me, Browns history is definitely against me, but Johnny Manziel history is on my side.

Why not?

I think so. He looked good considering what he was put into. Hoyer looked awful, again.

I agree, Hoyer has gotten worse not better

Yes.. Hoyer has given it to him....

With such a bright outlook and a game with a "playoff atmosphere" laid an egg, Johnny likely starts next week, but if he lays an egg the back 3 will be sad.

As much as I was a Hoyer fan, as my ProfilePic can show, it is JMoney's time
