Beef Jerky Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) He can play and has talent. He needs to cure some issues. That means he could be a buy low candidate. He sure looked good on that TD drive against our D. It can be amazing what an attitude adjustment can do for a guy.He isn't a NFL player... That one drive he faced a prevent defense and a second string D-Line... Since then he did nothing but look exactly like I thought he would. A kid that should have never of been drafted in the NFL. Insane people think he can be anything more then a ball boy for the NFL. Edited February 2, 2015 by Beef Jerky

He was a first round pick for a reason. Every team in the NFL would have drafted him in some round.
YoloinOhio Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I understand but facts have to outweigh emotions. My numbers were approximations obviously. I'm guessing our analytics department is figuring out the real odds. the facts are the treatment may not even work. Or it might not work this year. How do you trade one of your best players for a player who you have no idea you can count on to be able to play in the league?
FLFan Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 and if it was, wonder if it was heartfelt or just doing the celeb PR move after the ugly stories came outI guess we will see, but my bet is PR. Perhaps I am too cynical but I just do not like this guy and this smacks of the kind of shallow, self promoting thing he would do. Happy to ultimately be proved wrong.
stony Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hope he gets his **** straight. Guy seemed to be on the path of an early death. I never thought he had the skill set for the NFL and hope he just goes back home and gets his **** together IDK, it's kind of the same path 95% of 20-somethings tend to take. He just happens to be famous.
4merper4mer Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 the facts are the treatment may not even work. Or it might not work this year. How do you trade one of your best players for a player who you have no idea you can count on to be able to play in the league? i took the 50/50 nature of his rehab into account. I also took a more realistic assessment of Kiko and his odds for a full fledged return than you have.

maddenboy Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I think JFF is serious about this. Dont know if it will last. As public as he is, he would never allow it to be leaked that he needed treatment. Unless he authorized the leak. If, instead, he had sneaked off to rehab, i'd be skeptical. If he can stay sober for even a couple weeks, clean out the cobwebs, etc., He's got a shot.
Captain_Quint Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 bye bye Johnny....make sure you stop at Celebrity Apprentice and Dancing with the Stars on your way out the door.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I think you are very much alone in that opinion. He was a first round pick for a reason. Every team in the NFL would have drafted him in some round. The reason is the hype machine that surrounds players like Manziel. I think the quality scouts can spot the fool's gold but front offices in trouble (Browns) on teams looking to make a splash (Browns) with long suffering fan bases (Browns) will take the bait.

This is what I meant when I said I think JFF is finally serious.

Every team in the NFL would have drafted him in some round. Yes he was a first round pick b.c a dumb owner listened to a text message... Jerry Jones wants dhim to but his people were smart enough to know to not draft him. Trust me it is your opinion that is the loner.
YoloinOhio Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 he probably already checked himself outGordon was in rehab for 2 weeks last summer and then checked himself out. Those two are good friends; hopefully JM lasts longer.
