When I hear "He needs to grow up" I always wonder, what is expected of a 19, 20 year old?

Sure Johnny has made some dumb decisions. How many 19 year olds haven't...how many have won the Heisman trophy? And he's never been accused of sexual assault!

Last night on Houston 10 o'clock news, they showed Johnny at a Rockets game sitting with Arian Foster. Foster is the Texans top running back...and the story was Manziel at a Rockets game.

Most people who criticize JM have never met him but are repeating the same stories over and over. Just like the media.

I agree. Of course, big stars are big targets, and that comes with the fame. The guy did amazing things on a college football field. Also, gasp, he went frat parties as a college student...oh, the humanity.

He’s a rich kid with huge success, so yes, his ego is huge and he’s done some dumb things. I am pretty sure I did dumber things at his age, but without the microscope.

I don’t have high hopes for him in the NFL, but hope he does well. He’s an amazing quarterback...at least at the collegiate level.

I agree. I am not even a football fan and I watched every A&M game just to see Johnny run. Wow,what an athlete that kid is, I hope the Texans get him!
