Quote:"If Cleveland did any of their homework they would have known I wasn't a guy who came in every day and watch film. I wasn't a guy who really knew the X's and O's of football." - Johnny Manziel on @dpshow

While the quote uses past tense language, I'm left to wonder how Manziel makes the transition from that to the NFL QB ideal.

I grant that people can change, and that people can mature. But assuming he has matured, who does he get with to learn the work and study habits of a successful NFL QB?

At some point, the task of learning falls on the student. While a mentor would help him along the way, I find it hard to believe that he doesn't have an idea of what it takes to be an NFL QB. In his statement, he lays out the things that he didn't do and the knowledge that he didn't have.

From my perspective, he knows what he needs to do. It's just up to him to go out and actually do it.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
