Fort Worth had their police helicopter up looking for him after he got drunk Saturday night and beat his girlfriend.
Johnny is what we call a really slow learner.
The Browns say they will cut him ASAP.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

Like watching a train wreck. Jones will sign him--but how long will it take for him to either come around or drift off into the answer to a trivia question?

I would love to see this punk never see another down in the NFL. The sad part is that some team will probably pay this drunk to play again.

At the time I wondered about the sad and stricken look on his father's face when this guy was being presented the Heisman. I think that his dad knew the guy's proclivities and weaknesses and could see the wreck coming. Sad stuff.

Somebody will take him, he'll get his [bleep] together and turn into a decent QB. Not many remember, but Brett Favre started his career in Atlanta. He was let go for similar reasons after 1-2 years. No internet back then so the reasons why were kept quiet. He grew up and turned into a HOF Quarterback.
He will get his 2nd chance. I think he'll either turn out to be one of the great ones, or he'll burn out in another year.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I've never cared for the kid or more precisely, his behavior. I do wonder though, if this is his idea of his ticket out of Cleveland.
If and when he does grow up, I'm hoping that the first thing that he comes up with is class. He is fundamentally without it at this point.

The 'Boys can surely pick them, from time to time. Some of you may be too young to remember Duane Thomas. I really remember him from the few moments he was a Patriot, before his trade was quickly voided for being uncoachtable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Thomas

How crazy would it be to see him and RGIII on the same team?
Both Texas college legends
its beyond my ability to understand how someone like Manziel will continually risk a multi-million dollar payday just to booze it up and party.
At the same time, for the kind of money the Browns have sunk into him, hire an assistant to keep him from acting stupid.
if necessary an assistant that can kick his ass.

I have my doubts that JM will ever get it together. There have been plenty of QBs who partied, but Manziel has issues with women, too. There is a diffference between being a partying, horndog, hotshot QB sleeping with the beauty of the week, and an emotionally unstable alcoholic.
Manzeil might have been a Raider back in the day, but not even Al Davis would entrust his team to someone so unreliable. That is the real issue, JM is unstable and unreliable.
I say Jerry passes on this one, unless it's absolute minimum, contract.

If Dallas is "stupid" enough to take him,that should put there record next year somewhere around 14 and 2)). 14 arrests and 2 convictions!!! About an average season for Dallas. memtb

Johnny "Football" might just be soon Johnny "Slammer" for what he did to his girlfriend and where he needs to spend his time.
He's cooked guys, just a trivia footnote that never deserved to even be that.

He will get his 2nd chance. I think he'll either turn out to be one of the great ones, or he'll burn out in another year. Regarding Brett Favre, his contract was traded to Green Bay on 02/10/92 for a first round pick, #19, in the 1992 NFL draft. Atlanta used the pick to select running back Tony Smith. Smith ran for a total of 329 yards during his entire career. Regarding Johnny Manziel, I think that Jerry Jones is smart enough to distance his team from the train wreck that is all Manziel has been since the day Cleveland drafted him. Jones would be better off signing RG3 to back up Tony Romo for the rest of Romo's career. In a year to two, RG3 might learn how to be a functional pocket passer.

He does not have the skill set nor the leadership ability to be a decent QB in the league. Favre had both - just needed to mature.

The guy that stuck with Quincy Carter as long as Jones did can certainly be expected to want Johnny.
