JT Barrett Arrested for OVI
-
He will only miss 1 game. OSU is on a bye week this week
-
I've done a hell of a lot worse at his age, so I can't criticize.
The big issue is if he learned something from this, and not do it again.
Even though Ohio State didn't play, they still lost this weekend.

AD sez no suspension for misdemeanor
-
if you're going to drink you can't drive (i don't care how much). have a designated driver or call a friend or a cab.
that friggin simple.

Personally I don't really care, but we'll see if Urban's high horse about team discipline is legitimate.

It only a misdemeanor so the AD said its only a 1 game suspension

Exactly.

Shitty but a pretty minor offense. .08 is low.
-
I know Michigan and sec fans probably hope the book is thrown at him but it isn't going to happen.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -
Nah we don't really care. No one I know does, at least. But Barrett is still a Retard for doing it in his position.

Unless he gets a 2 game suspension.

It probably should be 1.0 but, yeah.

When you know the ramifications of getting popped for drinking and driving, get someone to pick you up. Barrett is the starting QB at OSU. I am sure a coaching staff member is just on drunk pickup duty on weekends they have off.

More college type info... but hey.
At least he wasn't twice or three times the legal limit. .08 can feel like you're perfectly capable of driving.
I won't hate on him for having a couple beers at 20, near 21 years old... lord knows I did plenty of that myself.

Of course you won't. He goes to Ohio State and I'm not just directing that at you Tia. This is just an opportune place to interject and I'm sure it won't be popular.
So NOW it's convenient to break out the "this just in college age kids in their early 20s like to party." If a 21 year old kid from A&M gets drafted to a team where the Head Coach announces he doesn't ever want to start a rookie QB; and then he parties off the field in between practice sessions (where he only QBs the opponent's offense) - some people can't wait to post he's the trouble they promised. A Buckeye is going to get a different standard from some Buckeye fans (not all) like Joey Bosa for example.Getting suspended and playing down to inferior opponents are red flags especially when we've witnessed what the inspired/motivated version can bring.
Even this year when Manziel went to a treatment program and did an about face with learning the offense, working hard and studying before showing big improvement on the field - is he running our offense in practice every week or the scout team offense? What's stunting more of the learning curve partying like it's his senior year in college or caddying for a 36 year old QB? He's now informed he's a 2 year red shirt, which makes it who's fault he's here? He didn't draft himself. This 22 year old QB looked like he was making the same exact strides Brett Favre was. The difference is everybody on the Staff and Front Office in Green Bay committed themselves to seeing what they traded for investment wise rather than start their 36 year old Ty Detmer or 35 year old Doug Pederson. They ALSO knew if they returned Favre into the intern type of status he was in Atlanta - his spare time wouldn't have been centered around learning the playbook only to play scout team QB in practice.
I've never had a problem with people that worried if his skills translated or not. Where I have a problem is when those in power from the GROUP that drafted aren't ever going to give him a chance - they should have made this known before we flushed a 2nd first round pick down the toilet in a draft would couldn't afford to miss on either pick. I still like McCown but we're just a 2-5 team with prettier passing stats. The ONLY time we've let the 22 year old version of Manziel practice all week with the upcoming game plan - we won by double digits. I know critics would rather harp on the Jets game when he ran NY's offense all week in practice; but I saw evidence of the game slowing down for him to where he was playing faster (assuring me he learned quite bit this year). I don't think he fumbles any more frequently per snap than McCown has over his career.
So where are we today as we set up for 2016? Okay, some critics want their told you so to stand. Yay! Reality is we will be counting on a 37 year old QB who hasn't survived 2 different starts in the 6 games we looked to him. Beautiful! What else? If we don't draft 1st overall, we won't have the pick of the litter at QB on our doorstep. Wonderful! Why not see what we have in Manziel? Oh yeah, he drank like a 21 year old last year just like Favre did at 22 years of age in Atlanta. Do we want to be like Atlanta was or do we want to learn what the difference between Atlanta and Green Bay became for the QB? We scored 6 points last week so it's not like we're benching Joe Montana here in the midst of a playoff run. What history tells me here is there CAN be a place for this guy if everyone involved is willing to commit to it. Why not make it the place that drafted him in round 1? The time to do this isn't when half the team has already quit and set their sights on greener grass elsewhere next year. The time to do it is when this team needs a spark. Cleveland and Miami were the 2 teams that sacked TN's QB the most this year where one team had a new QB and the other had a new HC. One thing is for sure, people are going to be unforgivable here if there is a Green Bay type of setting and success for Manziel in life after his first team.

Not really. It was his first offense.
Of course, I saw rumors he was in a brand new Explorer with dealer plates. Now if that's real...

I'm not going to read your entire post, Flugs. But if you honestly believe this is the stance I'd take simply because he's a Buckeye... Well, then suck one.
Barely over the limit. First offense. By all accounts an upstanding young man that didn't feel like her was impaired enough to not drive.
Compared to.....Say, Johnnys history in college?
You're right, it was a bad idea to interject on my post. Worse idea to claim it wasn't 'directed at just me'.
-
such a bad call out of him getting in a car even after a few beers. In his position? C'mon man, you just got named the starter. You've got the 1st round of the draft looking right at you. Why can't these kids be smart?
