ESPN the Magazine on Manziel in Cleveland:

"Manziel was slow to curb or even take responsibility for his myriad off-the-field shenanigans, slow to learn the offense, slow to read defenses and, with his lazy, loopy T3bow-esque delivery, slow to develop into a classic pocket quarterback.

The only things Manziel seemed to excel at were social media miscues, merchandise sales (the Browns team shop sells 12 Manziel T-shirt designs) and, most of all, getting the hell out of Cleveland on weekends. This might explain how Manziel can lead the league in jersey sales but finish second to Tim Couch's old No. 2 jersey inside FirstEnergy Stadium.

"The money sign thing? What is that s---? That's just not Cleveland," says Nick Restifo, St. Ignatius' longtime offensive coordinator. "Young kids who don't know any better see him as a star. But after a while, even the people who were pulling for Manziel were saying, 'Jeez, what an a--hole.'"

      Panthers re-signing P Sam Martin

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Basbear · Posted

      Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
