I'm definitely not a Manziel fan but as a qb he's infinitely better than The Golden Calf of Bristol. The Golden Calf of Bristol is probably the worst starting qb from a passing perspective that I've ever seen as a starter in the NFL.

Honestly for both, their style of play is basically to run around all day and throw to anyone who can get open.  Between the two, Timmy was much, much better at it.  Plus he could stay healthy.  Guys like Manziel and RG3 for that matter are pretty much twigs in the league playing against logs.

It works perfectly well for Russell Wilson who Manziel is slightly bigger than.

Russell Wilson has more muscle to work with, especially comparable to his size.  His legs alone are like RB legs.  Just look at the two and you can see why Wilson can play in this league.  When you look at Manziel and RG3, these cats look as soft as wet paper bags.

I'm very surprised some of you believe Manziel could have been anything close to average or beyond in this league.  How can you succeed in the NFL when 70+ percent of the plays you run are breakdown plays?  Mark Schlereth said a while ago on NFL Live for an offense, most of your plays are supposed to be plays that are on time.  Meaning if the play is designed to go to a specific receiver who runs his route, 70% of the time that is what happens.  Only 30% or less of the time the play breaks down, and it may even require the QB to scramble, making the offensive linemen block a little longer than what the play was called for.  Yet for Manziel, 80% or more of the time, his plays breakdown, even when it's not called for.  All he does and can do, is run around and throw to the guy that magically comes open.  Pretty much backyard football.  Yet some people actually believed Manziel could have been something?  That's something I would expect for Skip Bayless to believe, not those who have eyes to see the game.

Now Josh Gordon is actually the guy who is throwing away his career in the NFL.  Yet at this point, who knows if he cares.

I think if Manziel had actually been willing to work on his craft, he might at least have been able to accomplish something. Don't think he ever would have been starter material but at least able to play at a backup level maybe.

But like a lot of guys who wash out of the pros, Manziel believed he was just that good and he didn't need to work at it. And so, here we are.

Worth noting that a lot of guys who believe they're that good and find out that they aren't end up crashing really hard.

I'm thinking started with shrooms,  then moved to champagne alcohol because you get thirsty talking about all the pretty colors.  Then cocaine because what else you gonna do on a purple snowflake mountain covered in sprinkles.

Damn lmao

      How we weren't willing to roll the dice on Wilson but were on Brooks remains a mystery.

      ProFootballFocus: NFL Week 16: Rookie Team of the Week

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
