Thomas5737 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Manziel has as many wins over the last 3 Browns seasons as a starting QB as all of the other starters combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 He was never a good QB, awful fit for the NFL. The fact that he's been away for a few years only hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 He was never a good prospect to begin with. He's small, has an average arm, and was never a pocket passer. Throw in pretty much zero intangibles when it comes to accountability, leadership, time commitment, and work ethic, and NO. The kid is a loser. I hope that he figures out life.

Soko Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I’d do a vet minimum, non-guaranteed, camp invite type of deal. It’d essentially be a try out through camp. I’m down with second chances to people who haven’t done something incredibly egregious or violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yes I would. One-year deal, incentive driven, minimum contract. Gruden would be able to make something of him, even if it's a career backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Rather give Kaepernick a shot, but I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GongKong Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Manzania blows donkeys. He's too little, too sucky, not enough NFL type skills. And too damn dumb. And that is before drugs. So **** no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 He is personable, but probably self centred. above average accuracy average arm strength. Good mobility. Great fit for a team that carries 3 qb’s. for arizona he would be ok behind Bradford and a rookie. I’d take him in Oakland, Atlanta, New England, Green Bay as a 3rd qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 No. Only because I don't like him at all and I don't think you can radically change as a person. I think he's always going to be an entitled child regardless of whether or not he cuts out or even cuts down on drugs and alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Oh, goodness no. Has nothing to do with his skillset. His destructive behavior is centered around people in this area. If he's going to make this work, it needs to be outside of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be for league minimum and with a VERY short leash, but what do you have to lose in those circumstances? This 100%. Alot of teams have garbage at their backup QB spot. He would be incredibly cheap and supposedly driven. If he gets as much as a speeding ticket he is gone but yes i would give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 God no, would rather sign Kaep in a heartbeat. Manziel is a spoiled POS with huge attitude issues, the one position I dont want a headache is the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in part, he doesn't have sufficiently high upside to even be worth considering especially as the press will be all over the team that signs him and he'll almost certainly be a distraction even if he keeps on the straight and narrow just from his press profile. I can imagine a lot of the locker room would even resent him so it could be a potentially divisive signing too so it's not even low risk. High risk, low reward is not something any sensible GM should consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navysaintsfan Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If he had a typical QB skill set (accurate passer, pocket awareness, able to read defenses) in the most basic sense, maybe. But he doesn't have those skills. He is a gimmick who I struggle to use the term "project QB" for. There is nothing about his game that warrants a second chance.
