Johnny Manziel makes me wish we still had old school comedic running series about football like that one HBO had back in the day, back when they had Inside the NFL w/ Dawson and Bouniconti and Arliss with Robert Wuhl Imagine something like Necessary Roughness but instead of Scott friggin Bakula starring and "quarterbacking" the vehicle you had to assemble an all star ensemble to prop up Johnny Football at "QB1" (btw as a running gag every episode I would change out who plays the backup QB who's sitting next to him watching film or something, kind of as an Easter egg... and that way we can get Josh McCown, Jt o'sullivan, chase Daniel and Ryan Fitzpatrick another jersey each for the collection 😂) Oh yeah, eventually I'd have him open a season up with a battle for starter with new signee Baker Mayfield and he'd have to like frame him for crimes or something to keep his job.

[@3Dsjk]

The CFL deal was apparently they made him undergo some kind of domestic violence counseling, which he missed, getting him banned. The CFL got a lot of crap for signing Ricky Williams while he was suspended from the NFL, and Canada is selective about people with criminal records getting into the country in the first place, so they wanted to make it look like they were than a rehab for troubled American players. For Manziel’s part, he signed with Hamilton in hopes that head coach June Jones could help him develop as a pro, but when he was traded away from that situation, it seems like he kind of lost interest in being there.

[@tylerbennett5282]

he lost interest cause he fucking sucked

[@kevinramsey417]

The problem with Johnny Manziel was that he preferred being Johnny Football to an NFL Quarterback. Being an NFL QB takes hard work and Johnny was never about that life.

[@icup-x4e]

that’s objectively untrue johnny worked his ass off in the pre draft process and at a&m but he couldn’t manage the party life and being an nfl qb plus the drug problems got significantly worse it’s actually a very cautionary tell on how drugs can take over your life

[@galactictexas588]

The whole point is that doing the drugs and partying is what ruined him. If he was truly serious about playing in the nfl then he would’ve stopped partying but obv he didn’t

[@j.menapace625]

Being an NFL quarterback does take hard work, but lack of focus isn't the only reason for Johnny's failure in the NFL-- he was already undersized for the position at "only" six-foot, his arm strength was the subject of debate, and his super-scrambling play style is a much better fit for college ball (where the defenders aren't as big or as fast) than it is the pros. Even if he was 100% sober, he would have still struggled because his physical tools and playing style just weren't good fits in the NFL. It's a fairly common story amongst college standouts.

Interesting note about Manziel's stint with the Alouettes and maybe the reason why he was banned.

Johnny Manziel was the most overhyped quarterback ever, but he was a Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M. His dynamic playing style and ability to improvise on the field captured the imagination of fans and analysts alike. He was drafted in the mid-1st round by the Cleveland Browns; hoping to be the Browns’ franchise quarterback. Well, the Browns have never had a franchise quarterback in team history. He was overshadowed by his off the field issues that caused him to be an inconsistent quarterback. All of this from him partying all night and hanging out with the wrong people. He didn’t last 3 seasons in the NFL, so he was a major draft bust. He would’ve been a great quarterback if he learn the playbook and put in the work as most NFL players do on the football field and be an elite quarterback like he did in college. In the end, his journey serves as a reminder that talent alone isn’t enough; character, discipline, and resilience matter just as much.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@NotMeNaNaNa]

Calling him overhyped when the guy who went #1 in that draft literally went that high off one highlight reel tackle against Michigan that went viral. Granted Clowney has had a decent and long NFL career he was hyped to be better than LT and Reggie White… Best comparison to Manziel is either Matt Leinart or Tim Tebow, BMOC’s who the NFL knew better than to take in the Top 5 and their NFL careers proved it.

[@6thwilbury2331]

We'll never really know what Clowney would have done had he not experienced such bad luck with injuries out of the gates. But totally agree, his story gets sort of lost in the shuffle because Manziel dominates our memories of that draft. I count myself among those who thought Clowney would be the next big thing. In fact, from that same draft, I probably would have figured Aaron Donald for the career Clowney had, and vice versa. Yeesh, good thing I'm not a scout.

[@NotMeNaNaNa]

@@6thwilbury2331 as a Bears fan I’m salty bc several mock drafts had Donald falling to us but instead we got Fuller who had back to back Pro Bowl seasons and then fell off the map. It also makes me wish we would’ve traded up to get Mack as our 2015 1st was all-time bust Kevin White vs the 2 1st rounders we had to trade in 2018 for him.

The most annoying part of Johnny Manziel in the CFL is that he was just as mediocre up here as he was in the NFL, but the Canadian media kept fawning over him the entire season. I remember watching my team beat the Als when Manziel was playing for them, and the TSN highlight package consisted of one run by Manziel and a trick play he had executed-to the exclusion of highlights by the team that actually won the game. There are verified NFL stars that come up to the CFL and struggle (see Ricky Williams) but one fuck-up ends up here and the entire country’s sports media decided to pretend he’s dominating no matter how mediocre he actually plays.

With the benefit of hindsight, Manziel is ultimately his own worst enemy, which is how he ended up in infamy as the face of a string of Browns draft busts between 2011 and 2016. Ironically, Manziel was already gone by the time the Browns sunk to 0 and 16 in 2017 (future face of the franchise Myles Garrett would have his rookie season then, interestingly enough.) I will not deny Manziel has the talent and arm strength to succeed in the NFL, and hindsight has proven that mobile QBs can work with the right scheme fits and coaching. The Browns lacked both, so that's a strike on them, but it's the onus on Manziel to improvise in the pros, which he did not. Manziel refuses to change what worked in college, was more focused on the fame and building his brand (if any) than actual football, and simply lacked the work ethic necessary to play, let alone thrive, in the NFL. I'd say Manziel is more responsible for his own career being a bust, and the ineptitude of the Browns front office only served to amplify his flaws even more, both in football and in personality.
