He's an all time great college football player, and whatever he does in a different sport or in his personal life won't tarnish that legacy.

This is probably completely correct in Texas. And there he will live on like the silver spoon laden oil king that his family has created, but everywhere else, he will always be:

It will be Cool and Good when Manziel ends up on the Cowboys and doesn't play (because they have Tony Romo, who is also Cool and Good) while Greg Hardy is still starting because Jerry Jones is a husk of a man who's moral compass was never really there to begin with.

It would be really Lame and Bad if Manziel ended up on the Texans, did okay-to-crazy good things on the field, and stayed out of trouble (because JJ Watt set up a tent with motion sensors and a tranq gun to stop him from going anywhere besides home + football places).

It will be Vaguely Disappointing when Manziel rides this season out on the bench, wins the starting job next preseason on the Browns, but is then rebenched because a picture surfaces of him enjoying a cool crisp Bud Lite at a Browns' donor event.

Johnny Manziel is a loving dummy who might be an average quarterback and at this point, I'd be fine if he was traded tomorrow. When he owns, he owns but too often, he does not own, very often he sucks poo poo. Sometime his ownage overshadows the fact that he's a silver-spoon-having, oil-future-holding, fast-driving, video-making, son of a Texan. And honestly, we should have know. gently caress everything from Texas. Shiner Bock sucks.

It took Terry Bradshaw 5 years to turn into a decent qb. He was even benched the year the Steelers won their 1st SB

JFF to cowboys feels inevitable. I still wanna see him play, I'm totally indifferent about the video or him lying about it. I think his problem is trying to appease all these groups of people by pretending to be something he isn't.

You just don't understand, this is who he is, a free spirit who loves to party and have fun, he has a joie de vivre you just can't find in other spoiled, talented twentysomethings. So what if he has been recorded driving drunk while hitting his girlfriend and there's a 911 call and dash cam to prove it? I hope he plays for Dallas so I can finally root for them again, ever since they signed that piece of poo poo Hardy they have been an embarrassment.

the first time I saw manziel play was against the gators, I think it was actually his first college game ever now that I think about it

A&M had just joined the SEC and this was their first game against a conference opponent

i remember watching him scramble around all over the place and poop all over our defense in the first half

i remember thinking "either we are dumb and bad or this manziel guy is really good"

i was right

No, you were not. You would have had to change the word "or" to "and", then you would have been right

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
There was a pretty good Peter King article - I know, bear with me - that followed Carson Palmer as he prepared for the Browns game. It gives you an idea of the level of committment required to play quarterback in the NFL. Someone like Manziel will never make it because the Namath approach doesn't work in this day and age. Basically you need to be 100% committed to your craft 247 to succeed.

This is why guys like McCown and Derek Anderson hang around forever even though they stink. They're professionals that coaches can count on to put the work in.

2 things.
1) This article and the referee article from last year are why Peter King is so infuriating. He has more access than anyone in the NFL and when he uses it he can create great content, but instead he sits around talking about coffee and meandering through 10k words saying nothing.

2) I absolutely agree with you. The commitment required to play quarterback is like nothing else in sports.
