Jeff George actually matured and became a somewhat solid backup. He never came close to his potential.

Manziel has as much charisma as a turnip. He has the wimpiest body I’ve ever seen in a football player, he is not good looking, not particularly articulate, and exhibits a basically stupid and vapid lifestyle.

Picky, picky, picky. . . .

Jeff George did not have that bad of a career. He came in with a bad attitude and clashed with a couple coaches. He became a journey QB that was frequently sought be teams that had a lack of QB depth. He actually has a decent TD/INT ratio.

Its too bad, because he was very talented.

Johnny Manziel does not have the talent that Jeff George had. Jeff George played as long as Dan Marino. Johnny Manziel won’t last 5 years.

:: He never came close to his potential ::

That’s because he believed in himself and cared very little for those around him.

He could throw the perfect pass but if the receiver didn’t catch it and/or didn’t score a TD from said perfect pass, well...Jeff couldn’t be accountable for that failure. He expected EVERY pass to be a touchdown. When that didn’t happen, he verbally destroyed his co-workers.

You see, Jeff was the greatest QB to play in the NFL...just ask him, he will tell you.

Yes Jeff George was a prick. He ruined a perfect situation for him in Minnesota. They had Carter and Moss. He was actually friends with Moss but he butted heads with Dennis Green.

Jeff George was a great passer, but unlike better known great passers such as Elway and Montana he didn’t know how to handle a receiver dropping a “perfect pass”.

I remember seeing a pic of this clown with a rolled up 20 in his hand recently.
It will not end well for Johnny....

Manziel turned 22 earlier this month. He still has time to grow up.

One day he'll probably be an oil and gas attorney working in the family business.

Now he’s exporting bad behavior to his teammates and getting them in trouble as well.

Oh good grief! What an asinine remark.

Lighten up: that's why they were suspended too. But Manziel created the opportunity that they allowed themselves to get caught up into: inviting teammates to his juvenille bash. That was the point.

FYI, turns out Manziel's "party" consisted of three friends visiting him from TX...no Cleveland Browns!

A lot of people are really quick to jump on anything that makes him look bad.

I think a lot of guys who hate him are jealous... but would trade places with him in a nano-second.

I think you will be disappointed if your prediction doesn't happen.

I bet you're jealous.

I don’t hate on him - but he’s clearly been making wreckless choices for multiple years now. That’s just reality.

So you made mature, wise decisions before your 22nd birthday...in his case, was 3 weeks ago.

How did you feel when you saw your fifth grade teacher and thought she was "just" glad to see you...UNTIL she asked for your autograph?

How did you feel when REAL celebrities/professional athletes asked to have a picture taken with you?

How did you feel when you went from an unknown QB, to all the attention before you ever spoke to reporters because your coach had a rule that Fr. didn't have interviews?

There is very little that is "normal" in Johnny Manziel's life the past 3 years. In fact, it is rare.

JM was only recruited by Oregon and A&M. He wan't highly sought...or people would have been accusing A&M of illegal recruiting.

It's time for him to stop being a jerk and acting like a spoiled athlete.
