Quote:  Now, after they pushed him into a battle for the starting job before he even knows the playbook, anything he does looks like failure. 

Some people seem to think you can't ruin a rookie QB, but you can.  You can absolutely ruin him.   Push him in there before he's ready, and make him an object of ridicule.  Manziel is obviously immature, and that makes what they have done with him even worse.  I doubt he will handle this very well. 

 

Everything he does looks like a failure because he hasn't done anything right.  You can't ruin something that was never any good to start with.

 

He was the object of ridicule because of his own actions before he ever put on a Browns uniform, not because of anything Cleveland has done.  So boo hoo; tell Swan Boy, a.k.a. Johnny Finger this is the NFL.  If he wants to play football here, he needs to buy a pair of big boy pants.
