Johnny Manziel Zone: Love or hate him, but can't deny him

#88

Quote:Lemme guess, you'd take Jameis Winston next year tho right? lol.

 

Most of the big names in college football party hard. I don't condone, but they do. It's different when your Manziel, I presume the most well-known non-pro athlete in the world, and everywhere you go someone wants a picture with you.  People wanting pictures makes a player party harder?  Do you have any idea how stupid that logic is?  I'm no Tebow fan, but if you want an example to disprove your theory, there you go.


 

Listen, I heard similar arguments made about not drafting Newton when he came out, questioning his off the field integrity. I think concerns about Newton were more related to his work ethic and team mentality.
 I'm sure next year there will be many who say don't draft Winston because he's a sexual predator. Who knows?  I don't have sufficient facts to have an informed opinion.


 

I'll be honest with you, I'll take Newton, Manziel, and Winston on my team any day, all day. And here's why. Because despite their off the field problems, despite whatever negative opinions and unsubstatiated rumors surround them because they are/were the most popular athletes in college football, it has never affected their on the field play. Until it does, you have no argument. LOL.  Tell that to the Patriots.  Granted, an extreme example, but character issues are something of increasing consideration, probably more so in this draft than any other in history.


 

So go ahead and pass on Newton the thief, Manziel the drunk, and Winston the sexual predator, lol. And I'll take them realizing that most of those depictions are simply unjust demonizations of people who dislike them.   Is the sermon over?

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
