Quote:I don't think I explained myself well on that one.  First off, I think the story is irrelevant and I was talking hypothetically.  The issues cited in the story was about living in Jacksonville as a city, and had nothing to do with football taxes or playing for the Jaguars whatsoever.  It was more about a big fish not wanting to go to a small pond.  But does the big fish make the pond bigger is what I'm saying. 

 

And at this point I'm not even talking about Manziel as a QB.  He's nearly an A-List celebrity already.  Tebow was big, but Manziel's appeal is completely different monster. 

 

And my response is exactly the same.  Manziel isn't going to be the draw to this team or this city unless he lives up to expectations.  If he flounders, he'll be just another cast-off who thought more highly of himself than he probably should have. 

 

A list celebrity is irrelevant.  If he comes into the NFL and falls on his face, guess how long he'll be an A lister?  Blink your eyes.
