crazy. Total trainwreck. Found drunk by team security. Did pretty much nothing but slack until he was made starter and then tried to cram to learn the offense and he couldn't even get the plays right. The players like 3rd string Connor Shaw better because he at least knows the playbook and how to call the plays. Pretty much the only people in the organization who still like him are on the business side because he sells jerseys, but his jerseys aren't going to be selling for much longer at this rate

Why would manziel care anyway since his family is loaded?? he already has his safety net.

That's pretty much what I said when he was drafted and a big reason I thought he'd be a failure. The successful guys in the NFL give it their all because it's their one good chance in life and know better than to squander it.

It's about the bright lights to Johnny, and he can fall back on mommy and daddy once he fails. He's pretty much proven me right so far from how I felt about him when he was drafted.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
