Jameis was deemed innocent. He was an easy target for such an accusation. Nobody knows if anything happened, but I doubt anything actually did. And if the girl waited over a year to report a real rape occurrence, there are much more serious issues going on in Florida than 1 rape case.

You are pointing to a bunch of incidents that take into account the character of these QBs, but none of those incidents hurt their play on the field. Manziel drinking all the time clearly effects his game planning and he is paid to win games, if he does that some problems can be dealt with. He doesn't win, which only exacerbates his issues
Two guys getting into automobile accidents didn't hurt their play on the field?

When rehabbing obviously but I think it was pretty obvious what he meant, not things that impact them the rest of the time. Manziel's issue is that he's made it pretty apparent that football isn't priority #1

Also doesn't matter to me but just a correction, it's reckless driving not wreckless driving ... in this case it is literally not wreckless driving lol

Free Johnny!

Only reason he isn't starting is because Mike Pettine hates him with a passion, he's basically set up to fail in this organization

Its not every quarterback consistently getting popped by TMZ for acting like a high school kid who snuck into a casino....just Johnny. You can stop making excuses for him now.
Other guys aren't popping up on TMZ because they aren't nearly as polarizing as Manziel. No one cares what Nick Foles does in his spare time

THANK YOU! Everybody has this stigma against him and they don't pay attention to the actual problems at hand why things are happening the way that they do. Pettine fucking hates Manziel and the only reason he started before was because McCown was hurt and he didn't have an excuse not to start him. As for TMZ; they won't be able to profit off of following others around. Manziel is instant money for them because of his name, image, and popularity.

You can say that about every player on the Browns

Also, why does Pettine hate him? Because he doesn't take the game seriously and he isn't a winner. If Johnny could competently lead a team you can bet your ass he would be out there. Pettine isn't going to lose his job over some grudge.

Coach has to play the guy who cares. Look at RG3 or Kaep. You can have all the talent but if football isn't your priority, you aren't going to be successful. The quicker you cut your losses, the sooner you can climb back towards relevance.

This whole thing makes zero sense. He hates him because he's an incompetent coach. He has always favored game managers and look at the record that has gotten him. As for RG3... Are you serious? What off the field issues has he had? How can you even question that football isn't his priority? He was hurt and then he was tossed to the side lmao.

Its good to hear some rationale among all the Cleveland conspiracy theories.

They're not conspiracy theories when the reporters actually report it. But you said earlier that you didn't care about what the Browns' beat writers had to say so I guess that tells you all that you need to know lol.

No, but to blatantly say that you don't believe what people close to the situation say when it's literally their job is dumb.

Get some new material
You should as well. You just keep bringing up the same pointless stuff that you have mentioned since you started arguing about this. He parties, he's young and reckless, and he's not up to your QB standards - we get it. Move on. You clearly are unaware of what has been going on with the Browns this year and what myself and BNC have mentioned. If you had any sort of clue you would be wise to the fact that Pettine does not like Manziel. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. I have said before that you're out of your element. You can't just come in and keep pushing the same stupid agenda because you don't like the guy.

Just because you don't have off the field issues, doesn't mean football is your priority

What has Kaepernick done off the field that would yield a red flag?

I never argued against Kaepernick. But you aren't his psychologist or connected with the team in any way, so what would make you think football isn't his top priority? He had BETTER numbers than Cam Newton before being benched. Is football not Cam Newton's top priority? Zero logic or insight.

Yeah it's not like his teammates have fought over his commitment to the game or anything
