ESPN the Magazine on Manziel in Cleveland:

"Manziel was slow to curb or even take responsibility for his myriad off-the-field shenanigans, slow to learn the offense, slow to read defenses and, with his lazy, loopy T3bow-esque delivery, slow to develop into a classic pocket quarterback.

The only things Manziel seemed to excel at were social media miscues, merchandise sales (the Browns team shop sells 12 Manziel T-shirt designs) and, most of all, getting the hell out of Cleveland on weekends. This might explain how Manziel can lead the league in jersey sales but finish second to Tim Couch's old No. 2 jersey inside FirstEnergy Stadium.

"The money sign thing? What is that s---? That's just not Cleveland," says Nick Restifo, St. Ignatius' longtime offensive coordinator. "Young kids who don't know any better see him as a star. But after a while, even the people who were pulling for Manziel were saying, 'Jeez, what an a--hole.'"

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
