I will probably eat my words, but I think he will do ok. He wants to win, sure he is one cocky son of a gun, but I think he will give them a chance.
 
He didnt do too bad lastnight. He is a cocky SOB but has talent. Only time will tell
 
So this guy has played in what now-2 preseason games? He is just hitting the age where most start to actually mature some and that should help his game. I don't think anyone can discount the fact that he is ultra competitive and wants to win.
Maybe his style won't fly in the NFL but IMO it's too soon to tell for certain. He is also playing behind a O line that would struggle to keep a litter of Beagle pups contained.

I was thinking more like Heath Shuler..... :) He always makes the top 5 list of the biggest bust in NFL football..... :grin:
Shuler- good qb with a lot of potential, kind of like... TEBOW. Shuler got drafted by a lousy Redskins team, bad coach Norv, and and offensive line that couldn't block a stiff wind. Shuler had to scramble nearly every play to avoid the rush, and ended up with turf toe. Rumor is that his teammates resented his high dolar contract, and didn't put much effort into protecting him.

Another Tebow?

That is what I'm thinking

After his actions on and off the field. I'd say more like Vince Young.

If Manziel is a bust, which is likely, the majority will compare him to Tebow, but in all fairness to Johnny, he is much more like Vince Young. Tebow has class. Manziel and Young are classless dumbazz jerks.

Lol. I was a huge Shuler fan, but he never was a threat to make the Dean's list. Thinking back on his college career, a lot of his big plays were busted plays where he had to scramble. Amazing athletic skills can dominate in college, but not at QB in the NFL.
 
I think some misunderstood my feelings towards Johnnyfootball.
I personally don't give a rats rump whether he succeeds or not. I was more stating that the NFL season is two weeks into PRE-SEASON of his rookie year. Most rookie QB's have not set the world on fire at this point in their NFL career.
Living in a glass house myself, I choose not to throw stones. :)
I will say this: IF[big if] he succeeds he will be fun to watch, but as I'm not a Browns fan It really doesn't matter to me.
 
I've never understood why rookie QBs (or any rookie athlete) like Manziel, Brady Quinn, RG3, etc got a lot of attention before the regular season started. Sure, they were great in college. But they haven't even proved themselves yet in the NFL...haven't even played one season. Yet, they get all the media attention, commercial deals, etc. Just doesn't make sense to me.
 
I am a Browns fan..I think Manziel will go as far as the coaching staff lets him. No he is not ready to be the starter yet, bid deal. Flippin off the big mouths on the skins bench is no big deal anyway. All the crap about how somebody will be out after him is just saying they are not trying hard the rest of the time. What he can be is a real difference maker, you cant lay off him cause he will run away and you cant come after him cause he will throw the ball. If he does the ole quarterback slide and/or goes out of bounds when he is going to be hit he will be fine. His biggest problem is playing on a lousy team with probably the worst recievers in pro football. Be next year before anything significant is done about that and if they sit him all year...that's fine too.
 
I just don't think a rookie nobody who has not even started a NFL game, wait not even started an NFL pre-season game. should be running around flipping people off on the field disrespecting the other teams side line cause he threw a TD pass late in a pre-season game lol and im not saying that just because I don't like the guy.im a titans fan but if Zach mettenburger ran was flippin the other team off I would say the same thing.
