Jonathan Paul Manziel

miktoxic

good luck with not getting asked any questions.........especially if the media circus comes back to town.

let's just hope the 'other' fans don't come along with them....again.

OK, so he really wasn't doing this thing that close to Cleveland as stated. He was at Caron, which is closer to Philadelphia.

Well, I guess that is closer to Cleveland than Texas or California where a lot of celebrities go for this sort of rehab. So perhaps it is good to know that he didn't go to a "celebrity rehab center".

I hope he made a lifestyle change. Now he can pick up the pieces and start anew.

What step is "apologize"?

At any rate sounds like we have a "theme song"...

Everyone deserves a second chance- Manziel couldn't have fallen more on his ass last year and I respect him for manning up and realizing he needs help. I still believe he's the best option the Browns have for QB for this season coming up and I hope this is the start of a career. I'm still amazed at how many people in media are attacking the dude when he basically submitted that he was a jerk who needed help.

I honestly think that him making an ass out of himself during his rookie year is the best thing that could have happened for his career. A lot of times people need to fail at something before they become truly great at it. It still remains to be seen if he has the skill set for the NFL. Hopefully he pans out, but I think he can be adequate enough to take the job from McCown.

The Browns can only benefit by supporting him, in his open commitment to

get his life and health on track.

Should really be something to watch him become a happy, upstanding

qb in the NFL. I hope he gets his life permanently back on track and has a great life.

There is one in TX and FL also.

2 Key unanswered Questions-- 1. Lost trust in some players when he was announced Starter late in season and was it due to his performance or 2. I am young and not going to change my lifestyle for no one ???

miktoxic

hey either he steps up and plays at the nfl level or he doesn't. that's the bottom line. anything after that he's going to have to figure out on his own. browns have to many lost seasons at the QB position to be worried about someone who can't make the transition (if that's the case). i don't wish him any ill-will but this is a biz and if you or i couldn't do the job we were signed on to do you better damn well know that radio shack would fire you.

Enough already with the Manziel bitch gossip.

1. was named starter because of Brian Hoyers poor performance.

2 that's a paraphrase and his grammar is better than yours.

3 a lot of you bitches will hate him no matter what so who cares?

My reaction? Fair enough kid, let's play football.

Exactly. You made your apology. The next thing I want to hear come out of your mouth: The faint but distinct sound of you calling an audible through my TV set after you have led the Browns into the red zone

BrownsFan4Evr

I hate to say it, but I don't think he'll even make the start of the season before he screws up somehow. Not a believer that he's changed.

Kvoethe

Rofl, you people act like he wrote that or meant any of it. It's a Publicist hired by his agent to try to salvage a few bucks. He will be selling cars with Josh Gordon by week 8.

OK, I guess that you figure that it is ok for Pettine, Farmer, Dansby, Whitner, Thomas and Mack to field questions on Manziel's actions and as JF stated " He's not changing his life for nobody" Let's See.. Liked the kid when they drafted him and maybe the changes as a Professional will start Now..

The one good thing I see here is that JFF took it upon himself to get fixed before anything truly serious happened. We see players getting busted for DUI, drugs and other various felonies everyday.....and usually they do nothing but deny....and its very rare to see them seek help(think of JG for instance) for themselves.......

But JFF didnt get busted for anything and never got in "real" trouble as a Brown....yet, while still in his first year, he recognized he needed to do better and make changes to his lifestyle.....then he took a HUGE step to correct these things....

To me....that says he IS getting his head straight and I fully expect him to be a hard working committed player come training camp...

Now, whether he can play or not is a completely different discussion....but I have faith he'll at least have his head in the game....

The philosophy of OC DeFilippo is spot on in my opinion when he states that an NFL quarterback today has to be sold out to the game and have a 24/7 commitment. That is the kind of commitment that will be expected from JM. With the Browns coaches and JM having his head in the game he will have a decent shot now to prove he is capable.

************************************

EXACTLY !

4. Too many bitchers are bitching endlessly about anything. It's like Rizzo has 4 accounts around here.

5. Manziel manned up, went to rehab. I'm rooting for the guy in his personal life, and professional life.

6. Give it a REST already, because if he lights it up and becomes successful, a few of you will look like fools.

7. Read 1,2 and 3 again.

8. I haven't had my coffee.

9. Not goin to the draft party, tickets were sold out, per Canton Mike's ticket agent.

10. Give Manziel a break. He's been doing the right thing. Don't make Steve sing the "Be Patient" song to you JM bashers.
