I don’t like Manziel, but he’s an amazing QB. I did see this coming because dynamic QBs can’t succeed in a banal league.
The history of the NFL is littered with the bodies of quarterbacks who tore up the college ranks and were complete busts at the pro level. And in almost all of those cases the reason for the failure was a lack of self-discipline. The NFL is a whole different world. It takes discipline and drive and the desire to continuously adjust to your opponent. There is no doubt Manziel has the raw talent at quarterback. But does he have the ability to work at his position and spend the hours preparing for the next game and learning from the mistakes of the past? In his case I highly doubt it.
