Quote:If Manziel had backed up his tude with good play, more people could stomach it.

 

I think Jim McMahon was one of the more overrated and overhyped QBs in the mid 80s.  He got a ton of publicity, media coverage, and commercials because he was deemed to have attitude...and to be something of a rebel.

 

But he had earned the respect of his Bears teammates, and arguably was the catalyst that propelled them to Super Bowl XX.  Not saying he was THE sole reason they went or that he was the best player, but he was a spark for that team and he played well enough to not only not derail them but to actually improve their offensive performance.

 

Manziel hasn't done that yet.

 

Until he provides some NFL substance behind that attitude, he's going to have a hard time.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
