Dallas likes to attempt to rehabilitate the NFL losers-Manziel has personal issues that he most likely will not be able to overcome-but good luck to him.

I blame the Browns organization for the Manziel bust. You draft someone when they are 20 you better have a clue as to their emotional maturity level.

Damn! I know it’s just an uncanny coincidence but this illustration of Bobby Lane makes him look a little bit like Rush Limbaugh! is it just me or does anyone else see the similarity?

My dad was a Detroit cop and a rabid Lions fan, which he passed on to my brother and me. One evening dad was on motor patrol and noticed a car driving erratically. He pulled the car over and approached the car. He soon discovered that the impaired driver was Bobby Layne. Dad was star-struck and let him off with a warning.

I was a huge fan of Manziel and hung in there for a long time. But now I say he’s a spoiled little brat who is about to meet a bottom he may not be able to come up from. I pray he hits that bottom then I pray he finds God and gets into recovery. And a little note to Johnny, finding God is not hard. He hasn’t gone anywhere.

And for everyone else, if you don’t feel as close to God as you once did make no mistake as to who moved. (I didn’t write this.)

Yep, zero tolerance policies would not have worked back in the ‘50s...
and in the Detroit Lions’ case, that turned out to be a good thing!

Doubt any team will sign Johnny Released — previously known as Johnny Football, Johnny Clipboard, and Johnny Benched — until after the free agency period and the draft.

Because he won’t cough up superstar money for a young journeyman QB. He did just fine by Peyton

That’s why it is ridiculous

You said the Broncos not me. I was referring to the team you were ragging on

Do you even watch the game?

You specifically say why would he ( manzirl) want to play for the Broncos etc etc

Your current post shows how confused you are. Have they changed your meds?

As a (near) lifelong Chargers fan, but Leaf was a decent QB his rookie year, until the Kansas City game (when he had no offensive line, and was playing with the flu, then had a 21/22 year old meltdown because he was immature and a jerk).

Not defending the guy, but cannon arm, physically was great until he got hurt and eventually addicted to pain pills.

/still a bust, but so was Marinovich.

Who would want to be a quarterback on the Broncos? No matter what you do, you know that Elway will not have your back.

Colin Kaepernick, particularly with the SF Coaching changes and inevitable enema.

Leaf had extreme "measureables", much like Elway. He just had "intangible" issues.

I actually feel sorry for the QBs who get drafted by the Browns. It does seem to destroy their potential.
