lhslep134;1628279 wrote:I don't know how to feel about it. On the one hand, it clearly indicates a lack of focus, which is a bad trait for a quarterback to have. On the other hand, he's putting in the work during the week and partying on the weekends. In fact, I would be willing to bet there's a few other Browns who party just as hard but don't have the constant scrutiny or attention JFF has.

I guess I'm truly indifferent towards it until we can see it having an effect on the field, or we hear that it's affecting his growth as a young QB. Until then, as far as I'm concerned, it is what it is.

Dr. KnOiTaLL;1628290 wrote:My biggest concern isn't necessarily with him specifically, but the fact that many other uber-talented athletes have ruined their careers by following a similar path. Very few have maintained a similar lifestyle without it affecting their on-field performance. That is where my concern stems from. Could Johnny be an exception to the rule? Absolutely, but past experiences tell us that it is highly unlikely if he continues down a similar path.

However, at this point in his career, Wilson has a significant advantage in discipline, leadership, and decision-making skills.

lhslep134;1628565 wrote:Well yeah, there kind of is. It's an explanation why Pettine is okay with Manziel partying on the weekend, because he's working his ass off during the week.

Mohican00;1628570 wrote:That's incidental.

"good work ethic" is a vague descriptor thrown around as if it shouldn't be expected from professional athletes. Man, JFF really showed his work ethic during organized team activities......at least wait until the season starts before talking about his preparation.
