Well considering an invitation to teach at the Manning Passing Academy is viewed at least as saying you are a top college QB and that it's somewhat important to scouts to see how you handle yourself, I think it sort of is a big deal.  

 

How many film study sessions and practices is this guy gonna get drunk and miss would be my question.  

 

Is this guy gonna be more dedicated to winning or more dedicated to living it up?

 

You can still get by on having superior natural talent in college.  That doesn't work in the pros.  

 

On top of that his tweet about how he couldn't wait to get out of college station because he got a parking ticket says to me that he thinks he's better then a lot of people and just really wants his money.

 

The Texans can take Manziel if they want to.  I just personally would look at some of what this guy has done and think, I don't want this guy leading my team.  

 

If he's handed a franchise I don't think it will take long before his teammates start getting thrown under the bus during interviews after losses.  

Hey, maybe you're right. I don't know the guy but he seems to have matured since all of the hullabaloo before the season started. Keep in mind he just turned 21, a few weeks older than me. No it doesn't excuse his behavior but he is exactly that...a kid whose behavior isn't going to sit well with the media. Boys become men in the NFL, especially if said boy is handed the keys to a franchise that is ready to win immediately. We'll see how things go...he might not even come out yet.

So really no such thing as a "bust." Just bad coaching staffs ?

Not saying that at all. When I say I think any QB can succeed, obviously the guy has to want to succeed or it won't happen no matter what coaching staff you give him. JaMarcus Russell and Leaf busted out for a reason.

My guess is that his coached reigned him in for the season.  As soon as the season ends he could be out acting up again.  

 

However I hope for his sake that he has matured.

 

They either come in as men, they become men, or they fail miserably in the NFL.  There are really 3 options there.  With you're QB that you are expecting to start on day one.  You better hope it's the first.

I dont' mean to be splitting hairs here...

But being a QB and going first in the draft doesn't mean you are the top graded player in the draft.

It means in the modern NFL, the position is the most important and some teams will take a QB first overall if they have the need, even if he's not the top rated player...

Whoever picks first likely needs a QB.... So, he could easily go first...

All I'm saying is he's not a consensus first pick.... at least, not yet...

McShay has him going #1 overall. Like I said, just beause they don't have him as he top rated prospect, doesn't mean he wont be the top pick.

Bridgewater is as worthy a number one as anyone would be. I agree about Cutler, and said as much earlier in the thread. Though if we could somehow still attain him, I'm just saying I wouldn't be opposed to it. When a team loses this many games after being so good, it is a mental thing and the losing continues and continues until it is past the point of ridiculousness. You of all people should know what I'm talking about here. I don't think things will be nearly this bad next year.

Cutler is a head case. Trade for Cousins.

      Key season for Braden Smith

      By Superman · Posted

      Yeah I would expect him to benefit from the new coaching staff also. But one of those benefits might be not trying to play him at guard when he's probably not physically suited for anything but center, IMO. That's where he played in 2021, I think that's where he should stay.

      The entire Oline was bad in 22. Maybe Pinter would be ok at guard with a new head coach and OLINE coach. I don’t think you can take much away from 22. It was just bad.

      Indy 500 who you picking ?

      By RollerColt · Posted

      I honestly thought he had it entering turn 2 on the final lap. He was nearly 3 car lengths ahead. So damn close. I feel for him and for you!    I grew up in a family of Andretti supporters (I was the odd one who also like Foyt), so imagine my disbelief when Michael allowed his son to take the flag only to have Sam Hornish Jr. snatch it all away at the last second…    Maybe Pato will have a Sato like Renaissance?

      Pato has been my favorite driver for a couple of years now. I got to experience this 500 almost fully. I was at almost every practice, I had a badge to get back in the garage, and I saw the race from an entirely different perspective for it.    The 5 team has had plenty of problems since the de-facto win in St. Pete. Those problems haven’t stopped all month. His car was snappy loose all month, and even during the race. I’ve told all my racing friends that Rossi was the best McLaren and he had the best shot. I expected Pato to run around the 7-10 range Sunday. He spent the first 2/3 of the day back in the 13-16 range and I thought it was a lost cause. When he cycled up front and came alive late, I couldn’t believe it. He's such a savvy racer in this race. He reminds me of Dale Earnhardt at a SS. He just knows where to go with his car when he needs to go. It’s like he senses the air and how to navigate it perfectly.    I sat over in T4. Dead center of the turn. 5th row. By the time they entered T3 I could turn my head from the big screen across the track and see them exit.    Watching Newgarden pass Pato on the outside in T3 coming to the checkers is something I’ll never forget. It was emotionally draining for me as a fan and 2 days later it’s still like my dog ran away or something. I even accidentally turned my phone on in my hand and recorded my own reaction to it. You can see me scream “NO!” As Newgarden went outside and then immediately turn to see them coming though 3. It’s salty language so if GDs and F bombs aren’t for you, I suggest not watching. 😬     When it was over I sat down, and looked at the guy I was with and said “I haven’t been this emotionally overloaded by sports since 4th and 2” and he knew just what that meant because he was sitting next to me that night as well.    I just hope someone checked out Newgarden’s software after the race. Make sure they didn’t convince themselves of any new rules or anything. 🤔
