He doesn't deserve another shot, especially one he didn't earn - and throwing a football around in shorts shouldn't provide him with one. With Oakland re-signing EJ I don't see them even bringing him in to camp. I don't see anyone giving him a shot off of this workout to be honest. I think his best bet is to go play in the CFL and see if he can make it back to the NFL ala Flutie. Edited March 23, 2018 by H2o
hemma Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Don't teams usually have a 4th guy as an extra arm for a portion of camp ... or maybe for the rookie portion? I can't remember if we did or not last year. If we brought him in for a few weeks during the summer, would be some fun days at SJF. Probably pack the place.
Eric Moulds on my A** Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Bring him in. Bring Kap in. The media would be so confused they'd have too much on their plates. Meanwhile, quietly McCarron out performs them both in camp. Manziel really hasn't proven to be a good QB at the NFL level. I do believe he's matured enough that the off the field stuff is in the past for good. I love reclamation stories like this but it's not gonna happen in Buffalo.

(Great song, btw) Manziel could have went to the CFL to rebuild his career. But no, Johnny Football will only play in the NFL because...he's Johnny Football. To me, it looks like he's not changed one bit. Still a selfish personality. 1

Everyone knows it.. Everyone knows he never bothered studying his playbook in college or in Cleveland and was usually last in, first out. I wouldn't touch him until he's demonstrated a complete reversal of form in that regard. Let him be somebody else's experiment. That said, I hope the kid can truly turn it around because he does have some talent as you said. 18 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: I'm popular!

26CornerBlitz Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Johnny Manziel's potential NFL landing spots: Eight team fits1) Buffalo Bills: We entered the offseason with a handful of teams demonstrating a clear need at the quarterback position, and all but one -- Buffalo -- found at least a short-term answer. With the Bills' current best option being AJ McCarron and second-best Nathan Peterman, this franchise is squarely in the market for another signal-caller. Much has been made about the Bills' ability to trade into the top five to grab a quarterback, but taking a flier on Manziel wouldn't be a crazy idea. After all, it is where hestruck his famous coffin pose. 1 1
OldTimer1960 Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I was not a believer even discounting all of the off-field stuff. I think the guy that made him was Mike Evans catching Manziel’s prayers after he ran around in the backfield for 10 seconds. i DO think that Baker Mayfield is a very good NFL prospect. I think his game is strong and his off field transgressions were not anything compared to many other players. Edited March 24, 2018 by OldTimer1960

It looks like on a few of the passes the WR has to adjust his running speed to catch the passes with a slight pause until the ball hits his hands. One time the wr adjust his speed a bit faster to catch up to the ball. I'm not saying it isn't normal or anything because I don't really know what I would be looking for as couch scout. Just wondering what people think. It didn't look like a natural flow the entire time. The best looking throws is when the camera pans away from Johnny.
RyanC883 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Perhaps Denver takes him? I can see a team with an established starter but no "long term" starter taking a flyer on him.
Freddie's Dead Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 if Johnny Manziel can recapture the magic of his college days, the sky's the limit for him. Unfortunately, he's dug a huge hole for himself. And lest we forget;
zonabb Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 He should get a camp invite, jeez Osweiler just got a contract FFS.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I would be all for bringing him in. If he plays well, great. If he struggles and can’t get it going, cut him.

If you were blackballed in your field, wouldn't you want to show people you can be upstanding by taking a job somewhere and do well? Your paycheck is less important right now.
