Anyone else got the feeling that Manziel could end up in Seattle in a few years after taking a Christine Michael type journey?

Yes, I can totally see that. He's a Russell Wilson clone but without Wilson's maturtiy and dedication to his craft. I could see Wilson helping Manziel develop those attributes and playing-style wise he's the ideal backup to Wilson.

And for all those people saying he will never grow up, lots of young men don't start maturing until they hit their mid-twenties.
I must respectfully disagree. The only things he has in common with Russ is he is short and plays the same position. It ends there. As for "growing up", I know folks in their 60's that have never grown up.

JM's first priority is partying and doing whatever the hell he wants. He is the spoiled little rich kid that was never told "NO" until he played in the NFL.

There is a better chance he'll be an on call craps dealer in Vegas in 5 years, rather than being a QB in the NFL.

No. Substance abuse history. I think would rule him out at the most critical position

Manziel is an entitled brat who is inentionally sabotaging his way out of Cleveland. He'll fit right in with the Cowboys.

Yeah, other than lacking Wilson's maturity, work ethic, arm strength, accuracy, and mechanics he's totally a Russell Wilson clone.

He posted a fake Instagram picture tagged in Ohio to trick the Browns into thinking he was at home.

I don't think this is sabotage. That's giving him too much credit. His priorities are simply out of whack, and I wouldn't be surprised if he currently has some serious issues with substance abuse of some sort.

Very likely. I thing he likes the booger sugar along with the alcohol.
But hey it's a free country, if you want to piss away a lucrative career over Coke and booze then more power to him.

I wouldn't want Manziel in Seattle any time soon, he's too immature and untrustworthy right now. Addiction is a possibility as well. But after he gets cut by his 4th team and has his "come to Jesus" moment , sure.

He won't get 4 chances.

I think his rope is already pretty short. There won't be many people chomping at the bit to trade for him or claim him off waivers this offseason. I think the Cowboys are pretty much it.

The Wilson comparison begins and ends at his height. Beyond that, Manziel has never had 1% of the work ethic Russell Wilson has had since high school. Wilson acts like being an NFL QB is his career, Manziel acts like its something to do in his spare time. You can get away with that crap in college, you can't at this level.

He won't be in the league in 3 years IMO.

Nope, after he fails in Dallas he'll be done in the NFL IMHO.
Unless he gets sober, this.

getting sober might hurt his game. He would do lousy in Seattle also. Just a huge distraction and Russell doesn't need to be saddled with a guy he has to prod. Send him packing, where ever it is it will be short lived. Poor Character.

They brought up his drinking from 3 weeks ago on Bob, Groz & Tom, and Groz was arguing vehemently "What's the big deal?" "If he was drinking on a weekend?"

I expect someone who likes to drink a lot would not understand why an alcoholic who spent a month in rehab last summer, is being paid a ton of money to be prepared for games, then subsequently lost his job over drinking, would not see a problem with the situation.

Vegas trip will turn out to be fabricated I think


Ehh, it's been pretty well corroborated that he was in Vegas.

By a waitress and a gambler. But no video? No text messages or instagrams or tweets or nothing from the hundreds of Vegas goers who would have saw him?

This one seems contrived.

Guy is still an idiot
Those drunks saw Johnny poolboy handing out wads of toilet paper. Same slight body build.
Simple case of mistaken identity or foreshadowing?

Yep. They wear the same size briefs, date the same type ladies and neither are black.
Johnny Riddell is suck a Russell Wilson clone.
