I agree with you. Even without his off the field baggage I also wondered how his play would transfer into the NFL. The way he played at A&M often had a real Helter Skelter feel to it. He really looked like he was running around like a chicken with his head chopped off on many plays. It was crazy because at times it looked like he was blindly just sligging the ball down field while under immense pressure but he would still somehow complete the pass. To me it was hard to see him being able to that against NFL competition. If I were running a team and were looking for QB during his draft I believe I would have passed on him.

When he got into the nfl he became a town embarrassment and no one likes to talk about him or they’ll just sigh saying how bad he messed everything up. He was talented, but because no one in Kerrville taught him to control himself he lost his shot at becoming a hall of famer.

He pretty much single handedly beat an absolutely stacked #1 ranked Alabama team that also had a legendary defense in 2012, I had never seen someone impose their will like that on this Alabama team… it was an amazing performance and I remember being in a room full of people jumping around and screaming at the TV because they just could not stop him…. it was like he had super natural powers to keep every play alive… so frustrating. I was convinced the kid was going to go on to the NFL and be a top tier QB for years to come- but then I learned he was a rich party boy.

There are times when one team beats another team and there are times where one player basically beats another team- this was one of the best examples I have ever seen of a player beating another team.

He blew off the meetings his father and his agent set up with me in attendance. As I left for the second time, I shook his agent's hand and his father hugged me and began to weep. He knew his son had shit on his future and I reminded him that we don't know what his future really is intended to be and sometimes serenity and joy can be found in simpler lives and Johnny wasn't ready to take responsibility, yet.

@@richerich9238 His great grandfather's parents immigrated to Arkansas from Syria. He lettered in boxing when attending the U of Arkansas then boxed professionally as "The Syrian". He had extremely quick hands so was hired to spar with Jack Dempsey. The two became friends and became business partners, opening a tavern in the rowdy East Texas oil boom town of Gladewater. Manziel was a wheeler and dealer in mineral rights so obtained the mineral rights to land owned by a Black farming community where he was sure oil could be found by promising them much higher royalties. Dempsey lent him $900 to drill a well that turned out to be a prolific producer by hitting several pay zones. The entire lease was that way which became known as the Hawkins Field and is still producing today. The Federal Government back then had control over the mining of minerals in the states so had restricted production in East Texas after overproduction drove the price of oil down to 15 cents per barrel. Manziel and Dempsey sue the Federal Government over that to win a decision in their favor when appealed to the US Supreme Court. Their lawsuit gave the States full control of the mining of minerals inside their borders. Manziel also bred fighting roosters which became known as Manziels which made him a lot more money in sales and cockfights across the nation. He flew to those in his personal DC-3. He suddenly passed away when in his 50's with Manziel's grandfather taking over the oil field operations and living a wild and crazy lifestyle. He wanted East Texas to have a NFL team so began constructing the first indoor football stadium outside Tyler. He stopped construction after being partially completed with the structure being used as an auto parts warehouse then as an entertainment arena called The Oil Palace that's still in use today. Gramps was accused of participating in the Slant Hole Scandal where wells were drilled at an angle to tap oil deposits on nearby leases. The Feds sent in the FBI to investigate the claims but soon left after their lives were threatened by irate oilmen and oil field workers. The Tyler residents already resented him for being filthy rich and now hated his guts for avoiding prosecution over the scandal. His brothers also got involved in shady business practices that didn't help matters either. The local residents distain for the Manziel family continued after his grandfather and great uncles passed away so Johnny's parents moved to the Hill Country so he could attend public junior high and high school without being harassed by his fellow students. His father continued to work at the car dealerships in Tyler and Longview during the weekdays then flew or drove down to be with his family over the weekends.

Sure I enjoy it at times and it's paid my family bills but it's never brought me anything more than a paycheck as I started to build my life outside of work. I have several kick ass hobbies that I would do 24/7 if I didn't have a family and wife to attend to. I'd say that over the past 10 years I have realized the things that I truly appreciate and love to do. Got two Man caves full of my hobby stuff, and one of the hobbies has led me into multiple other hobbies that support the other. I'm proficient with my work life and I work OT when we need it, but I get EVERYTHING I need at home from my wife, kids and my hobbies. When I am able to retire in about 10 years I will do so gladly. I may miss being able to help people in that way, but I won't spend any time worrying about it. So 51 y/o dude, get a hobby you love and pay the bills when they're due. You won't give a single shit about a missed career if you are doing things with your hobbies that you truly love. Later dickweed

"Manziel was a beast in college".....not even remembering who he was throwing to MIKE EVANS! Only player in NFL history to put up 1000+Yrd receiving in his first 8 straight consecutive seasons. Easy to run around and throw it up when you have a future 6'5 HOF WR. Believe in the AL game you mentioned, he had 8 or 9 catches for 280yrd (forgot TD's) and one was a 98-99yrd TD reception

@@johndavis9321 I concur, a good team around you also helps you shine. He had talent, no doubt, but without good players all around him and on the other side of the ball, he wouldnt have been such a big hit. Any Star became a star with the help of others. Looks at all the #1 Picks to go to a shit team and become nothing in their NFL career. Some get lucky and overcome that, some can overcome it with their raw talent but most fail. Look at some of his scrambling plays, just throwing the ball up and hoping the best, the majority of the positive outcomes were due to Evans snatching the ball away from a defender

Back in 2012 I was still a graduate student at Texas A&M in College Station, and I remember his name was all over the radio and everyone was talking about "Johnny Football". It was the first time during my years at A&M that the Aggies were really doing great. Then, nothing. The next time I heard about him was today, 11 years later. Over the years I wondered what had happened to this guy and why he never became a big name in the NFL. Now I know. My opinion is that probably his parents, or his dad more precisely, were living vicariously through him their dreams of being football stars, or maybe just dreams of fame and notoriety. I feel that Johnny was never really given the chance to set his own goals and pursue his own dreams, and maybe that's the reason why he's felt lost all of his life, and didn't put in the necessary effort to further his career in the NFL. He did the football thing out of inertia and he just happened to be very talented at it.

Matt, you likely won't find any video on this guy, but, in 1977, an amazing Texas football player attracted Bear Bryant to Sherman, Texas, in an attempt to recruit this guy. His name was Billy Don 'Poppa' Jackson. He was not only an amazing athlete but he was loved by everyone who knew him. I was in high school and actually shook hands with Bear Bryant as he walked the halls of my high school. 250 colleges attempted to recruit him. He ended up at UCLA and was accused of killing a drug dealer. That really wasn't what ended his career. He ended up his career on an HBO show called 'First and Ten' after playing in several different leagues. He finally met a girl that turned his life around and now lives in L.A. and has a wonderful family.

Johnny did not want to play NFL because he knew they were on to him and his drug life and he didn't want to stop using because he knew crashing like that was a horrible road to be on.

We ordered food and from what I saw on the TV, the A&M game was about to come on and one of the locals asked the store to change the station. I asked the gentleman later why he wanted it changed. He said “cause he(Manziel) may be from here, but there’s been no bigger disappointment from kerrville than him.” He wasn’t even saying it judging his play, it was judging his character. Most of the locals are just mad about his character or just disappointed he wasn’t brought up better or acted better. It’s just a bummer for everybody. If he would’ve taken more time to care about character, attitude, and work ethic, maybe his career could’ve been more positive.

unless you’re a rich kid, you wouldn’t understand…he just simply had nothing to look forward too, he always had the money & the lifestyle of a celebrity so he didn’t feel the need to let someone else control his life or waste his time doing things he didn’t enjoy doing so he just continued living the only life he knew…as a rich frat boy 🤷🏾♂️

The only thing that ever really bothered me about Manziel was the fact that he wasted his incredible talent. Most people would kill to have that kind of talent but for him football was not the most important thing in his life. It’s good to hear him admit that and own up to everything he’s done but it’s still tough to watch someone that gifted just throw it all away. It’s his life so he can do whatever he wants but at the end of the day he wasted a once in a lifetime opportunity

Johnny's brain and body have memorised all of his football and social skills while his brain and body were 'high.' All of these skills can not be accessed without his brain being in this state. This is called "State Theory." State Theory comes out of Substance Abuse treatment. This is why recovering folks get 'bored' so easily. All their fun skills are locked away....they have to relearn to have fun without being high. Same w physical skills....must relearn to play sober. Remember, it's called 'State Theory.'

The burning question I keep asking is, "how did he go from 4th string QB at A&M to starter in 11 days?" Who spoke on his behalf to whom, and what was said? Who paid whom and how much? A jump like that doesn't "just happen." At that time, nobody knew how good he would be in the SEC. That's a back story I'd really like to hear.

I think people saw the potential in him.. spoke highly of him and even tho he wasn’t doing well in pre season and practice. Alls it takes is a game that has people like how did he do this it can’t be luck. Such as the bama game . They knew he had it in him as a player on the field the issue was him as a player off the field . His priorities were more focused on partying. If he just focused on football and how to become a better quarterback and leader . He would have been a beast ! Some people are naturally good at things and some work hard for it he was just naturally good at it. But chose to focus on other things leading to his down fall shits sad… but at the same light he said it he lost the passion for football he was playing to make his family happy and others that believed in him not cuz he loved the sport hopefully he finds peace and happiness there’s more to peoples lives then just football as long as he’s off drugs happy and feels a purpose in life then I wish him well. But he woulda/coulda been a monster in the NFL

He’s an adult, when you’re 20 years old you aren’t a kid anymore and you can’t use “my family is dysfunctional” as a crutch for yourself. My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15 and my mom was a meth addict and I got kicked out off my house at 17 but I don’t use that as an excuse for what I did as a 20-something year old.

His parents are some of the ones that as long as it looks good in front of everyone they are all about their kid but if their is a hickup they bail on him and claim he is out of control. What his dad said was wrong in every way as he wanted others to fix his son so he wouldn't have to and parents like that are the worst because they didn't raise their kids to be adults and they take no responsibility fir their failure.

I had the opposite reaction to the fathers “he needs to go to jail” quote. Kids will sometimes block out anything their parents tell them because they are so close. To me, it sounds like the father tried to get his attention and try to tell him that he is messing up but Johnny wasn’t hearing it. So when the dad went public with saying Johnny is a druggie and should be in jail, is a dad that hopes his son gets help…. No matter where it’s from because Johnny was a ticking time bomb of self destruction.

Oh ok! So @Farrdawg Joker 🤭🤣, you must know his parents, in particular his father! Cause you'd have to right? When you make statements as crazy as what you just said! You'd have to know him and how he raised his son, especially when you say "parents like that are the worst." Who the hell are you to say he didn't do everything he could to knock Johnny football straight! That's disgusting for you to say these stupid blind allegations to someone you don't know not the first thing about! But keep judging people like an idiot, it's people like you that make this world go round! What a joke!!

But yea, his parents, his hometown and pretty much EVERYONE around him enabled him. He honestly seems like a bit of an idiot tho.
