OT Manziel demoted to 3rd team for partying again

[Kel Varnsen]

Today Jason Whitlock likened him to JaMarcus Russell wrapped in Justin Bieber's body.

Jason Whitlock is Justin Bieber wrapped in JaMarcus Russell's body, no?

Si, I was thinking the same thing.

Why do people care if he likes to drink? So did Sonny Jurgenson, Ken Stabler, Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Lenny Dawson, Billy Kilmer, Joe Kapp, John Brodie, etc. The Cowboys are loving this. They'll get Manziel for a 6th round pick. All that matters is whether the kid can play football on Sundays. If he want to drink himself into an earlier grave, that's his business.

Speedy is drunk

Its not the drinking in and of itself. Its the childish behavior overall and lack of leadership. He skipped his doctors appt with the team doctors when he was under the concussion protocol to go party in vegas and tried to cover it up via disguise. Instead of being with the team and at his appointment like he should be. If you cant see a problem or the immaturity there theres not much more to say. Then he lied about and tried to cover up being out partying right after being handed the lets to to the franchise during a bye week. See a pattern? Partying is more important to this kid then football.

On top of it he just isn't that good. I hope the Cowboys trade for him no matter what round it takes.

Did anyone give a crap about the immaturity of Jurgenson, Stabler, Unitas, Namath, etc? He needs to be judged on the football field & no where else. I'm just sick & tired of the double standard that applies to him. I wouldn't guarantee he'll be a star, but I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes one.

I wasn't, rather just being sarcastic. I'm very pleased with deone. Just pointing out where we chose wisely.

Times are much different plus those guys all had success in the NFL whereas Manziel's play hasn't earned him the benefit of the doubt. If he was lighting it up from day 1, none of this would be much of an issue.

fwiw I met Joe Kapp in a bar in Albq back in the day.

Two Words: Social Media

Didn't exist before, and thus scandals could be kept quiet and/or whitewashed...with Social Media, you can't get away with anything.

You can't compare Johnny Manziel with the likes of Jurgenson, Stabler, Unitas, and Namath. Give those guys a little more respect than that, they're Hall of Famers...

A better analogy would be guys like Billy Kilmer, Mike Rae, George Shaw, and Babe Parilli...
