I've heard that he's taken accountability and that he didn't actually charge fans for selfies and autographs lately. Maybe he is growing up, after all. Who knows?
But as a football analyst, would you try to put him on your team and develop him at this point? Does he still have some potential? Or do you think he's a waste in the same company as Vince Young, Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Tim Couch, etc.?

Cowboys fans have to be ecstatic the way Daks rookie year turned out. This is the exact kind of guy Jerry Jones would take a chance on.

Manziel is garbage. He isn't a good player either.

Possible, but I think he's the Lindsay Lohan of football.
Sounds like he believes it, but his turnaround has about as much chance of longterm success as most New Year's resolutions.
Donald Trump is the weak man's vision of a strong man.

True, and especially so given the short-term life of QBs in the NFL. They're already predicting that Cleveland may even draft a QB this year. I think Manziel may be given another chance one day, but not anytime soon!

i just got so sick of hearing his name..they reported his every move for a while. sometimes the NFL is like a reality show. the kaepernick national anthem story dominated the headlines for weeks.
im sick of hearing about these divas. i am interested in the game itself, not the sh!t going on off the field.

Yeah, people need back up QBs.

I hope he gets his life together, but I can't imagine why any NFL team would want him on their roster.

I'm not even so much even talking about his off-the-field anticswhich are a whole chapter into itself. But even as a player, I don't even think he was very good. He had a good college career, but so many hundreds of others do too. In the NFL, he constantly seemed flustered and would just scramble around endlessly. I never saw accuracy, a strong arm, leadership, etc.
