What "problem" does he have?


It's one thing for John Q College Kid to go out and get wasted on occasion.

Its another for Johnny Manziel to do it, have the cameras follow him everywhere, and then keep on doing it, have it reported, and to keep on doing it, and to do it to the point where you cannot meet a rather public committment. Instead of saying to himself, "Self, everyone and his mother is following my every move, maybe I need to cut back the partying," he doubled down. That is the sign of a problem.

How many people said, "If only he can make it to footbal season, the discipline of football will clean him up." Go ask Todd Marinovich how well the disipline of football controls issues.

That's what concerns me. There are very public signs of an issue, and the last thing anyone wants (Rant Idiots exclused) is to see this kid who has a bright future throw it away ala Marinovich.

Uh maybe you haven't realized but the season has started and he is playing lights out. I'm sure he appreciates your concern though.

bullshite. Dont act like you are concerned for the kid. Everyone here hates him. You just don't like him...be a man and admit it. Faking "concern" is bush league.

Michael Jordan partied his balls off and was confident/cocky just like Johnny. A ton of world class athletes are similar. He and many others just didn't have media and social media trying to tear him down constantly and fabricate crazy soap opera stories for ratings out of complete non-stories like Johnny having beers thrown at him at a frat party or doing the money sign during a game (that all of his teamates do).

He's not changing who he is for you or anyone else. And that's a good thing for him (unless you're a fan of the opposing team).

Remind me how many "issues" he's had this season? Kid's hardly uttered a peep and not been in the headlines for anything other than recycled garbage.
