He’s right...Tebow is a great personWhat a bunch of crap.
Kind of like 6th round draft picks!If Manziel was brought into camp to compete for a roster spot, it would only be slightly more rediculous than when Tebow was there. He would be nothing more than a camp body and a complete effing long shot to make the roster.
Look everyone hated and mocked Tebow because he did not hide his Christianity and that really makes a lot of people angry. He didn't force any of it to anyone. He did not kneel down or raise his fist. It was right for him. After a game he prayed in solitude and not to gain attention, but the media focused on that as being divisive. Yet, he was and is a laughing stock. The kid was unconventional for sure but he won games including a play off. There were a lot of people that played QB in the NFL with talent on his level. Jeff Garcia won a lot of games. Mike Vick was a good running QB. Passer? Not so much. How many of us cheered Flutie? When you have a Nate Peterman and Tom Savage staring and Mike Glennon being a sought after QB....why not Johhny?
If BB could deal with Tebow, Haynesworth, Dillion and the evil side of Randy Moss, if you can have Manziel to agree to be tested EVERY DAY!!!, we gave that plague on society Tebow a try out, why not Manziel?
Ryan Mallet was no choir boy. He hid his shenanigans better than Manziel.

Is what I ask about 4-6 current threads....Why is this thread still active?
The difference being, Flutie could play.Kind of like 6th round draft picks!
Had Flutie been given a fair shot, I have little doubt he would have been an excellent NFL QB
Well, he wasn’t an alcoholic or a head case like Johnny. I think Manzel is very talented but QB’s need to be gifted mentally as wellThe difference being, Flutie could play.
Scouts from 13 NFL teams were on hand to watch Manziel throw. The Browns, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were represented.
Manziel, 25, showed the arm strength and athleticism that helped him become the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. The former Texas A&M star attempted 38 passes, with two misses, in light rain.
The popular opinion is going to be about making a bunch of jokes about how bad of an idea it’d be to sign him. I say give it a shot.
If the guy really wants to come beck, why not sign him for the minimum? No one can deny how much talent the guy has.
And if he really has gotten his head on straight, it’s a huge steal.
Could Manziel play corner?
Ooh I know, we could force him to become a slot reciever
Coaches want to win. They will sign anybody who helps them do that, regardless of anything else. It why the league is full of criminals.
I wish I believed this. Eric Reid and Colin Kaepernick would be cheap upgrades on MANY teams, yet neither have a job and CK likely never will.
We've been through this what seems to be about a million times before, but ....
32 NFL teams
Going into this season (after expected draft moves), where are sensible landing spots for Kaepernick?
Denver would have been - last year. Colts, too.
I haven't been through it a million times before, and really don't want to go through it now. I think he's better than most of the back up and some of the starters out there. You don't. Agree to disagree. McCown? Kizer?
