Heh. Add "Johnny Football will be a stank disaster in the NFL" as one of the predictions I got right before the beginning of this season.

Johnny Football -> Johnny Bench -> Johnny Rotten
And this is why the Patriots are in the elite. That just shows you how good their scouting is, kudos I say.ringless":583i1psx said:The Patriots scouting report of him are spot on!

Qutes from scouting report the season leading up to the draft... Spot on?
"Will never take football seriously enough for our coaching staff, he'll hate meetings, will have to drag him to work out, etc. The definition of the word maintenance."
Teammates don't dislike him, but there's some resentment, more so in the offseason when he isn't coming to workouts and they are busting their butt.
JL 10/15 - Suspended first half of TXRI game for autograph scandal. Couple of TXTC sources say can't yell/scream at him or he shuts down; has walked away from Kingsbury in the past. Has an avg. work ethic, came to 4 of 32 summer '13 workouts, and quit going to in-season workouts late in '12. Doesn't study the game, said to know about 60% of the offense in '12, never watches film; one source said only time he watched film during '12 was before ALUN
Seems to enjoy putting himself in situations where he knows attention will follow him (TXUN frat party during summer). CONCERNS: Off-field behavior, cockiness, maturity

Good point, MizzouHawkGal. Nice example of thorough scouting of a player. Reading stuff like this makes me appreciate what the Seahawks have in Russell Wilson all the more. While Manziel may be more talented than a lot of players, I could see him falling the way of Matt Lienart with his head. He's not humble. Biggest obstacle to Manziel being a great QB is Johnny Manziel. Unfortunately for him it's something that can't be taught. It comes intrinsically.

I wanted it to happen so bad I guess that's why it didn't.Our Man in Chicago":1e3ixb8p said:Manziel might be the worst NFL quarterback in the past 15 years. Imagine if Jerry Jones had gotten his way.
