Too bad Manziel doesn't have T-Rich's ability and work ethic, otherwise maybe he could hang in the NFL too.

I wish him the best. The fact that he's been a bust is pretty shocking. The guy was an absolute monster in college. Hopefully he gets his shite together, fixes his eyes, or just fix whatever has been his problem. He's one of the most physically untalented running backs I've ever seen. His Arky run was a thing of beauty, I think as a freshman.

Well, he is a poor man's Ray Rice. Maybe they can get some production out of him.

Hope he makes it. Seems to be a pretty good guy. Plus as I understand a whole lotta child support depends on him.

Eddie Lacy doesn't look like Eddie Lacy anymore. He was at A-Day. He looks like he lost half of himself.

Took a former Alabama player to sign him. He won't last long.

Meh, he could pull a Ro McClain and surprise us all. Hopefully the Ravens realize he would benefit greatly from a zone blocking scheme and make some adjustments.

But this will definitely be his last stop

Maybe not... Just be happy you will have something to celebrate the day they cut him.

Rolando McClain was always good in the field, just retarded off the field.

Apparently they made him lose weight before making it official, thus the delay from March when it looked like it was happening

He can do everything that Rice could do, just not at the same level.

I could honestly see him having 1000 yards from scrimmage and 7-8 TDs for them.

I dunno if what can be done to fix his lack of vision. In college he murdered us. I literally thought his NFL career was going to be the complete opposite of the way it has gone. I'm not sure how he was able to mask that in college.

3 years in the league and he's vested. 5 and his pension goes up.

He benifitted greatly from having great O-lines in college, but zone blocking also helped compensate for his lack of vision. He always knew where the hole was supposed to be, as opposed to a power run scheme.

Its a lot tougher to make the jump to the league if you're not used to that type of blocking. (I could be off base on that, but that's how it's been explained to me.)
