Signed.

Max McGee, Brett Favre, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Billy Martin, Ken Stabler, Joe Namath.....ad infinitum.
That was you who called into 92.3 this morning trying to argue the case for Johnny citing Joe Namath as an example, wasn't it?

Exactly how I feel.

Nothing Manziel has done up until now shows that he has what it takes to be modern-day NFL QB.

Bolded part to pre-empt Retardwedge invoking players who played 40-50 years ago when being an NFL QB was completely different than today.

No wasn't me but I will be calling in to these ass hats soon. Stay tuned. Whether you think so or not there is a broad base contingency in this city that thinks the same way as I do regarding Manziel. You know...people that actually want to win football games...and leave the sermons on Sunday to the men of the cloth. The stadium will NOT be half empty this week. Gee, I wonder why? No thanks to the collective Cleveland media that's hell bent on chasing Johnny out of town.

Same here.

I'd love it if they didn't have to burn another 1st rounder on a QB but he's shown no signs of being the long term answer.

Can't be trusted and isn't willing to put in the work.

No there isn't. There's probably less than 20% of the fan base and 7% of them have either lost their eyes due to industrial accidents or gouged their eyes out with forks after watching the Browns play.

I know this question may confuse you, but I am going to ask you anyway. Is the stadium half full if Johnny is the qb and half empty if Davis is the qb?

Al Bundy;1768700 wrote:Why would I root for a Browns player to not do well? That doesn't even make sense. Out of the 5 things that you mentioned, scrambling is the only one that he can do, and you don't win in the NFL with a scrambling qb. Johnny was 20 when he won the Heisman. I think you may be getting him mixed up Winston, who is the only teenager to win the Heisman.
LOLOL. And Johnny won the Heisman award as a teenager,,,,every game he played that year he was 19 years old. How many Heismans did Favre win as a 19 year old? But...but....but....

Now tell me again why it was OK for Favre to drink.

At season's end, if I were Johnny I'd go down to the flats and make my rounds to the Punch Bowl, The Beer Head and then to the Big Bang and while on camera, let the recently fired head coach that he's "number 1 in my book" with his middle finger. That POS cost Manziel a full year in his development.

Depends on who had the better numbers in college.

Yeah...Johnny Manziel has shown what Brett Favre did off the field in terms of being a professional quarterback and putting in the work to prove it. Good point Retardwedge.

And that "POS" Johnny has turned this organization into a bigger circus/fiasco than it's every been with his antics. Not worth the distraction. Keep him until the end of the year and see if a team in Siberia will offer a 6th rounder for him. Send his drama causing ass to the WORST team possible.

Yeah, Brett texting a picture of his junk to teenage girls showed a shit load of professionalism didn't it Shemp. Yup...Brett Favre...exemplary model of what a quarterback needs to be. LMAO Shemp.

Personally, I wouldn't give a shit if Manziel partied every night IF he performed, lights out, on the field but he DOESN'T. Thinks he can fly by the seat of his pants, without putting in the work, and just show up. He's not THAT good.

FW keeps bringing up Joe Namath, Mantle, etc. The difference between them and JFF is that they were impact players who performed. Namath helped change the game and was a star right out of the gate. His numbers pail by today's comparisons but he was pretty damn solid for a rookie in 1965.

Brett Favre had already proven he had what it takes to be a professional quarterback in GB, entitling him to act like a jackass after he had proven himself.

Johnny has been acting like a jackass for 2 years before he has proven himself.

Last I checked, before proving something and after proving something are two distinct scenarios.

Do you understand the distinction between the two? I bolded "before" and "after" to help your lackluster reading comprehension skills.

LOLOL. Yeah..Johnny is responsible to the drafting of Irving, Gilbert, Mingo, Sheldo et smell. I already told you that the Cowboys have offered a number 2 for Manziel...and my fear is that Jimmy will settle for their number 1 and number 4. Jimmy is too thin skinned when it comes to the Cleveland media that want to run JJF out of town. and very well placate the masses.

Link or it didn't happen. And if it didn't happen, and you continue to assert that it did, there will be consequences. I know people.

Do you even understand that a number 1 and number 4 is a lot more value than a number 2? I'd trade anyone on our roster, except JT, for the Cowboys' 1 and 4 picks.

As usual, you misinterpreted it. What you heard was probably that the Cowboys 'referred' to Manziel as a "number 2."
