My Mistake, I thought you said Rushing, could had mistaken it with a different post then.
Clearly you haven't been paying attention to this thread if you haven't seen me and dragon troll each other before!
Holy shit, this Johnny Manziel piece is scathing.
"Citing nearly 20 Browns sources, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Pat McManamon report Johnny Manziel exhibited a "year-long pattern" of lacking commitment and preparation to football and a "continued commitment to nightlife" during his rookie year.
One player called Manziel a "100 percent joke." Team security reportedly found Manziel "drunk off his a--" the morning before the Browns' season finale. He was fined for missing a treatment for his injured hamstring and spent the Week 17 loss to Baltimore in Cleveland's locker room. During his first NFL start, "Several sources said Manziel either didn't know the plays in the huddle or didn't call them correctly." Sources also told Fowler and McManamon that since-departed OC Kyle Shanahan preferred Jimmy Garoppolo and Tom Savage to Manziel as a 2014 draft prospect. Fowler and McManamon claim Manziel still has some "support in the (Browns') building," though it's mostly 'on the business side.'"

Bill and Tom are doing everything to win this year because they know a storm is brewing......BOB is coming and taking a Mallett to the league. No retreat, no surrender scorched earth policy. If it is in BOB's way it goes down. Fear the chin biiiiiiiiiitch!

Yes, that's all I'm hoping for is an entertaining game, but not one that will give me a heart attack. That's probably what we're getting though, a game too exciting that my heart WILL explode!
Ah gotcha. Every recent Pats Superbowl, win or lose, has been really close so I expect a very close and intense game. Hoping to see Edelman shine now that he's a big part of the offense this time around

I read the piece and it doesn't seem that bad at all? Like I'm not sure what is so scathing other than the fact I'm glad Kyle Shanahan isn't working for the Jets.

Did you even watch him play the last 2 months of the season? He's a career backup that some team is going to pay a lot of money for and regret it.
No, we didn't.
I want it to be known I didn't want us to draft Manziel, Weeden, or Richardson. I should be the GM! I didn't think Manziel would be this big of a fuckup though.

I never realized there were so many pats fans here. Maybe its because everyone moved to the offseason thread? Go bucs!

Are people really going to write off a guys career after a game and a half?
Manziel makes himself an easy target, a really easy target, but this shit is so stupid. I don't see anybody writing anything negative on Blake Bortles who looked Gabbert terrible this year.
I think many thought he was going to be a bust but were giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Personally Im a Fan of the team, not to a player, So it doesn't matter who is there throwing.

For me, it has less to do with his play and more to do with his general attitude toward the game. I thought concerns over his partying in the offseason were overblown, but the fact that he continued partying through the season, couldn't get the playbook down, and didn't know his own play calls when he got the start in week 16 is damning. I'm not usually on Mt. Pious about stuff like this, but with the quarterback position you need to have such a hyper-focused, single-minded mentality, especially when you're at a physical disadvantage like Manziel is. If he suddenly turned his attitude around and began preparing with the dedication that Russell Wilson has, I totally think his career is salvageable, but there's no reason to think that'll happen.
It'd be slightly more bittersweet, but I'd still be completely ecstatic.
You're on the Savage train too?

Welcome! please don't let the trolling me and the other gorillas say get to you. We're not serious. Except Gata, he's just dumb that's all.
Bort wasn't in Vegas snorting coke or getting fucked up drunk nights before games. He is an immature dwarf with a Napoleon complex.
There isn't a long list of players in any sport that I can think of that lacked work ethic played like crap and then suddenly turned it on and became awesome.

Quite frankly I won't be happy until Bledsoe comes out of retirement and wins the big one for us.
I'm never going to be happy.

Yeah that seems shady as hell.
Well it seemed to be alright at the start of the season. I'll admit I didn't watch many Browns games
Bruised fingernail wow lol
Hey if Jimmy came in and stepped up big, that'd be great for Jimmy and Pats fans. I think he needs more time in the oven to heat up though

Brilliant.
Sorry, too busy reading about the In-Bev acquisition of Elysian.
Their beers are now longer part of my #onlyWAbeer game day ritual.

I was willing to write him off based off of his college career, so yes, a game and a half of some of the worst quarterbacking of the year makes me feel pretty comfortable with my assessment.

I've been in these threads since 2012, I just don't post often until now. It took a bit to relax from the other serious fandom I've frequented in the past to realize no one is that gungho here.
Well except maybe kas.

Plus nobody expected Bortles to look good, and everybody laughed when he was picked #3 overall or something like that.

I am.
Never saw what the hype was about. Dude is a shrimp physically. Resorted to jump balls because he's criminally short, and doesn't appear anywhere near as smart or dedicated as Russell Wilson which makes his height even further detriment.
That's all before his don't-give-a-fuck-ness even comes into play. Guys with 10 times the work ethic flame out at QB in the NFL.
The most hilarious part about this is the Clowns passed over Bridgewater to draft him.

Browns couldve had Bridgewater and OBJ.
