JOHNNY FLOP goes to the quarterback graveyard

Why so angry? Did Johnny screw your girlfriend? He did, didn't he?

not only did he lose millions by dropping so low in the draft, he went to cleveland! karma can suuuuuuck. hahahahahaha!!!!

Tim Tebow couldn't play for shit either, but his marketability as a personality is why he is still making money in/around football. Johnny Manziel is the same type of guy.

The Browns are back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every country has one city they make fun of.

In Russia we used to make fun of Cleveland.

You never know how good a quarterback is until they get in the NFL. Since he has not taken a snap yet, it is too early to tell what he will do.

Ummm . . . ever heard of Bernie Kosar?

Manziel can play. I live in Dallas, where Romo had back surgery and yet Jerry stupidly passed on Johnny. GMs, a conservative bunch, were afraid to draft Manziel. He has that je ne sais quoi that can't be taught. Montana had it; Tarkenton had it. Watch replays of A&M games. Mike Evans is good, too. A&M tried to get out of a home-and-home with my Ducks and karma will punish them.

Well he did better job than Peyton 'oh my neck' Manning, while take a team with less talent from last place to the playoffs. Not sure how that counts as 'can't play for sh1t', but if Manziel can play that sh1tty then the Browns might go deep in the playoffs.

I think your problem is you too deeply emotionally attached to p u s s y QBs.

"And with the 22nd pick the Cleveland Browns ruin the life of Johnny Manziel."

If Tebow were any good he would still be playing QB in the NFL.

Wejo was calling me telling me the Boys had to draft him when he fell that far.

I was like, "Our defense IS HORRIBLE. So we are giving up on the present and trading Romo and waiting to be good for a few years?"

I was sort of like the GMs, not wanting to have to make a decision on Johnny. I've always liked Romo and didn't want to see his era end (but heard Michael Irving talk about platooning them somehow) but did want to see the spectacle of Johnny Football in Big D and was a little surprised Jerry didn't go after him.

I'll probably never be a GM so i can rip Jerry if he ends up being a star.

Lineman are a smart thing to draft. You can never go wrong with an Oline pick but we need defense.

I think Cleveland could be a good fit for him. Manziel's the underdorg. Cleveland is the underdog. He may have wanted a more high profile city but it's not exactly like Texas A&M is in LA either. Having less of that temptation during the season is a good thing.

The NFL draft is more about genetics than it is about assessing a college player's skills. The top draft spots go to people who are genetically gifted and have size, strength and speed that meet what team owners consider to be key to success in the NFL. Bortles gets picked third because he is tall, big and fast. His college credentials are decent, but not as good as Manziel. Manziel and Bridgewater go much later because Manziel is too small and Bridgewater is built more like a shooting guard (doesn't crack 200 lbs soaking wet). Conventional wisdom in the NFL right now is that QBs need to all be built like Colin Kaepernick. Bortles is the only one in the draft who is.

I agree. This is because the NFL is so specialized. Only the very best of the best move on to the NFL. It is tough to evaluate talent of college players when they are playing against much slower, weaker, less skilled players than those they will face at each and every position.

These nicknames get better and better. Johnny FLOP!! Hahahaha!!! How do you guys come up with this stuff?????

Johnny Foosball would be my choice. He will be more successful at foosball than football.

Manziel will be the Jimmer of football.

Look up who the Browns picked at 22 over the last few years. Not a good sign.

You mean that rambling, incoherent drunk we heard on Cleveland radio in 2012? Or are you talking about the guy who got arrested for driving drunk last year? In either case, yeah, we've heard of him.
